Understanding PSIP Testing

in Blog

Managing a fleet is a difficult job, and learning to do it well means dealing with compliance issues on a daily basis.  In California, one of the most important compliance tests to stay on top of is PSIP.

Here at FleetServ we want to help you understand PSIP, so here are a few things you should know.

The Basics of PSIP

PSIP or the Periodic Smoke Inspection program was instituted in 1990 in order to control emissions in the state of California. Through PSIP, fleets are encouraged to monitor their own emissions and perform self-inspectionDiesel-smokes.

However, because there are many specifications that must be met, it is ideal for most fleet managers to entrust PSIP testing to a facility like FleetServ.

The goal of PSIP is to reduce emissions and tampering within California’s fleets.  As such, any fleet with 2 or more trucks of over 6000 pounds must be tested annually for smoke opacity.  These tests must be properly performed and recorded to ensure the compliance of every truck in your fleet.

At FleetServ, we are here to help make your PSIP testing as simple and quick as possible.  We know that running a fleet is a time consuming job and we want to make it as manageable as possible.
