DPF delete, will it affect who you can haul for?

@trulytex - read this thread; that's what you're dealing with in the MaxxForce engine.

Sorry, I'll start with saying I'm not a trucker but I am a VW diesel car enthusiast so I know a bit about emission related scandals.

I just got off the phone with my brother in law who is currently hauling in the oil fields and he told me he had his DPF deleted awhile back. He then said he plans to head back to the midwest soon and flatbed loads. He plans to sign up with a company such as Landstar that lets him log in online and accept loads. I know one guy who worked for/with Landstar and they inspected his truck every so often and would make him repair any components that didn't pass their inspection.

With all that said, will he be able to get loads in the midwest with no DPF. When I questioned him he said, "Yeah, they told me not to go to Cali or the NE with it", but I'm a rebel blah blah blah.

My biggest concern as that he quits working down there and then buys a flatbed and plans to come home and all the big companies tell him his truck aint up to snuff and that he can't haul loads for them.

Is my concern valid or does the midwest still turn a blind eye to emission modifications?

I would think not.

Most outfits owner ops pull for are more concerned with how old their truck is.
