  • A refrigerated warehouse or distribution center with a building size greater than or equal to 20,000 square feet,
  • A grocery store with a building size greater than or equal to 15,000 square feet,
  • A seaport facility, or
  • An intermodal railyard.

Option 2: Declaration of TRU Compliance

Provide a declaration to CARB, under penalty of perjury, that non-compliant TRUs subject to the TRU ATCM will not be permitted to operate inside the facility fence line or property boundary. For more information, refer to CARB's guidance document on TRU Applicable Facility Requirements.

How to Check TRU Compliance

  1. Unit has a valid TRU compliance label, (or)
  2. Unit shows as compliant on the ARBER TRU Compliance Search page, (or)
  3. Unit is owned by a company on the 100 Percent TRU ATCM Compliant Carrier List page, (or)
  4. Unit is listed in the Kiteworks Compliant TRU file.
