Well send an eighteen wheeler with a pastor and free bibles and hopefully 80.000 ton's of food.
I think that in itself is illegal.

"Legal weight for an eighteen wheeler

The legal weight for an eighteen wheeler is 80,000 lbs. [40 tons].[ 36287 kg Canadian] That is without any oversize or overweight permits. In comparison, the average automobile weighs over somewhere around 5,000 lbs.

legal U.S. weight per axle is: STEER 12,000 lbs DRIVES 34,000 lbs TRAILER 34,000 lbs
legal Canada weight per axle is: STEER 5443 kg DRIVES 15422 kg TRAILER 15422 kg"

Now then, with 80,000 tons of food, not including the pastor or bibles, that would put the vehicle 79,960 tons over the maximum legal weight.

GUILTY by admission!
