tru -- Search ARBER to Check TRU Compliance Status
Posted: 17 Sep 2009 12:40:17
ARB has added a “Check TRU Compliance Status” button to the Transport Refrigeration Unit (TRU) Website. The California Air Resources Board (ARB) has added a “Check TRU Compliance Status” button to the Transport Refrigeration Unit (TRU) Website. The public may use this link to search the ARB Equipment Registration (ARBER) system for the compliance status of TRUs and TRU generator sets and provide comments or provide tips on violations about specific TRUs. ARB will monitor these comments/tips and follow up with enforcement action, if warranted. The TRU Website is at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/diesel/tru.htm The user must provide at least one search field, which may be one of the following: ARB IDN: The Air Resources Board Identification Number (ARB IDN) is unique 8-digit number with one check-digit or letter (nine total digits must be entered) that follows the letters "ARB". ARB IDNs are issued by ARB for TRUs that are registered in ARBER. Only California-based TRUs are required to have an ARB IDN. IDNs are voluntary for out-of-state-based TRUs and TRU generator sets. The ARB IDN must be affixed to both sides of the TRU housing. VIN: The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is a unique serial number composed of numbers and letters assigned by the vehicle manufacturer. On a truck-mounted TRU, the truck's VIN is located on the driver's side dashboard, readable through the windshield. On a trailer-mounted TRU, the trailer's VIN is located on a plate that is permanently affixed to the trailer, typically on the driver's side, exterior front wall. License Plate Number: The license plate number is located on the front and rear of a truck and on the rear of a trailer. Railcar Reporting Mark: The Railcar Reporting Mark is a unique equipment number located on both sides of a railcar. The Railcar Reporting Mark includes three to four alpha characters followed by six numeric digits. Railcar Reporting Marks may be used instead of ARB IDNs on the TRU housing. Do not enter any spaces. BIC Code: The Bureau International des Containers et du Transport Intermodal (BIC) code is a unique equipment number located on a TRU generator set or both sides of a refrigerated shipping container. The BIC Code includes three to four alpha characters followed by six numeric digits. BIC Codes may be used instead of ARB IDNs on the TRU genset housing. Do not enter any spaces.
