If you are making money doing it, you are a commercial hauler and subject to DOT regs.
He will get caught, just a matter of time.
You can make a living at it, but it isn't easy money. Fuel is just the beginning of the expenses. Don't forget to figure the depreciation and maintenance. of the truck and trailer, and meeting the DOT regs, and paying your taxes, etc, etc.
Making money in the trucking business is all about loaded miles. Running empty will kill any prospect of doing well.
