The California Air Resources Board has fined an Oxnard-based trucking firm $6,000 for diesel truck emissions violations that occurred in 2006. CARB says a fleet audit found that Hoskins Brothers Trucking had not been annually inspecting its heavy-duty diesel vehicles as required by California law.
As part of the settlement, Hoskins must comply with the following:
The company will pay $6,000 in penalties: $4,500 will go to the California Air Pollution Control Fund, which provides funding for projects and research to improve California’s air quality; $750 will go to Peralta Community College District to fund emissions education classes conducted by participating California community colleges under the California Council for Diesel Education and Technology; and the remaining $750 will go to the California Pollution Control Financing Authority.
