    Yes, it's legal if the truck is set up for it. Couple of companies in Florida do that at time; they haul live plants.

    CR England has some 3 bunk trucks. I could not imagine who would go for that, 3 guys in a truck 24/7. A prison cell has more room I would bet

    It probably comes down to seatbelts or some kind of legal securement.

    I've seen some "New Canadians" (Punjabi) pile out of a group of trucks in threes in WA state. I guess it's a thing?

    Last I knew. There is only one driver, you know, they guy behind the steering wheel. However, when I was learning to drive? Some of the trucks had the bunks removed and had sofas in the back. We had 10 riders in one truck alone!

    Tho if this were about illegal mexicans (not making this a bigot post). I have seen 34 mexicans climb out of a Chevy full sized van. So I would not be surprised if more people could be crammed into a class 8 cab

    back in my training days, at the local driving school, that's what they did there too. but i think there was about 6 of us. 4 in the back, one in the jump seat, and the driver.

    still God help us if one farted.

    I might do it for 3-4k a week.

    With a year of experience and a bit of seniority you can do 2-2.4k a week with just one other guy at R&L. Im sure other freight companies are around the same.
