CargoCupid Inc. requires all refrigerated carriers to comply with the regulations of the California Air Resources Board’s (ARB) Transportation Refrigeration Unit (TRU or reefer) Airborne Toxic Control Measure (ATCM or Regulation). More information is available at http://www.arb.ca.gov/diesel/tru/tru.htm.
As a carrier hired to supply refrigerated transport services to CargoCupid Inc., you must certify to us that you will only dispatch reefers which comply with the ARB’s TRU ATCM in-use performance standards for transporting perishable goods on California highways or railways.
All California-domiciled carriers are required to be registered in the ARB’s Equipment Registration (ARBER) system. If you are a carrier based outside of California and have not registered your reefers in ARBER, we strongly recommend that you register the reefers you plan to dispatch to California. If you are a refrigerated carrier that wants to be hired by CargoCupid Inc., you must have an ARBER Certification Page for each reefer that you plan to dispatch for transporting perishable goods to show compliance with the in-use standards. Before we hire you, you must send a copy of your ARBER Certification Pages to CargoCupid Inc. for the reefers you plan to dispatch to California.
Please be advised that effective January 1, 2013, load tenders from our transportation management system and our bills of lading will contain the following statement, which is your further certification of compliance.
The carrier or its agent certifies that any TRU (reefer) equipment furnished will be in compliance with the in-use requirements of the California TRU regulation.
The driver’s signature on the bill of lading is an acknowledgement of the above statement and certification that equipment being offered for loading is in compliance.
Please submit the following form certifying your organization’s acceptance and attach Certification Pages for each reefer you plan to dispatch to California.
