    So I am a company driver but i think the truck I'm assigned to is deleted. Let's just say I have very good reason to believe it is. So my question is, if I get stopped and they find out at the scales, is that the owner's responsibility and does my boss get in trouble? or does it all fall down on me?

    The DOT doesn't care if your truck is deleted, that's an EPA problem. So unless you run in states like California I wouldn't worry one tiny bit.
    And I dont know how it could possibly fall on you

    how would you have a very good reason to believe? Like what step are you not doing 2-3 times a week?

    just asking for the laughs.

    As a company driver you better to focus on things like working lights, posted speed limit, following distance,

    The owner of the equipment is responsible. Nothing DOT can do about deleted equipment.

    the more important question is why would you work for a company that does this?

    Has anyone ever pee'd in a DEF tank? It's mostly water anyway, to an old timer, I see people buying cases of this crap, what a sham.

    There’s a lot of trucks running around with a partial delete. Cummins had to write a program when they had so many trucks down for def level sensors.
