Environmental CommitmentClean TrucksFlatbed ServiceContactsService AreaOverweight OverdimOther Services January 1, 2010 marks a major change in our Port trucking environment.  No longer do trucks older than 2007 (engine year) get to operate in the port without a retrofit (oh, did I mention that no retrofit works on trucks in this service?). 

As President of Golden State Express, I have been on the front line of the Clean Truck Program, interfacing with the Ports, active in industry groups, reading every conceivable piece of literature that comes out, and attending meeting after meeting on the issue. 

GSE now has 90% of its fleet converted to new compliant trucks, or has the replacement trucks on order, allowing the older trucks to serve the port for the next few months.  This is not without a cost!  With millions invested in this conversion, we are able to continue offering service to our clients, and will be able to do so for years to come. 

Our investment cost of course will have to be passed on with increased rates and clean truck surcharges.  We'll continue to be competitive, and our service of course will continue to shine.

I think we bring a lot to the table for you the importer/exporter using Southern California.  Take a few moments to view some of the details outlined elsewhere on this site, and give us a call or shoot us an email.  We've got capacity to add a few more clients that take service seriously.
