    I was wondering if it was illegal for a foreigner to drive a company truck for free and make the deliveries simply so they could see the country side? Only over a period of weeks??

    Any information regarding this idea would be appreciated..
    Thanks

    Why would you want to do that? If you come in and do drive for free, someone is out of a job that may need the money. Plus, that mentality will drive down pay for other drivers trying to make a living. If you want to see the countryside, awesome...drive a truck and take the pay that comes with it.

    From what i have seen in trucking industries, there is always an extra truck lying around with a job to do and no one to do it.. So this isnt an issue..

    You couldnt accept pay because then u would be working illigally..

    It's called a lease purchase.

    on this subject there's a local company that went from 2 trucks to 50+ in 4 months, I heard they fly here from overseas and right into a truck. I don't get how it's legal
