I dont see why you could'nt go to another state and, as long as you are familiar with the laws, OC as you'd like with a minimum of hassles. As in Wisconsin, you can carry just about anywhere (some places still have outdated rules on the books) if you remember-- in a car, put it in a case unloaded, keep it out of places that sell alcohol to be consumed on site, keep 1000 ft. between you and school property, no Govt. buildings, not in state parks.Those are the biggies. you'll have to research the states you're planning on ahead of time

I'm not familiar with all states' laws, so I'll use Louisiana as an example. Open carry in Louisiana is constitutionally protected, no permit required. There is absolutely no distinction between state residents and out-of-staters.

I've never heard of a state with no-permit-required OC that limits it only to residents of that state.

...in Va you can opencarry as a resident or a visitor makes no difference as well.

Two pieces of advice. 1. Stay out of NJ at all cost. 2. If number 1 doesn't work for you, check this out: http://handgunlaw.us/states/newjersey.pdf

Good luck.

Your truck will be in New Jersey, the laws in New Jersey will apply.

Your home state laws stop applying to you when you cross the state border into another state.

You must comply with whatever laws are in force where you are.

I have a class A CDL and I have looked into this as many people are of the opinion that there exists a federal rule somewhere which states truck drivers cannot carry a firearm. It is simply untrue.It may becontrarytocompany policy or it might be against a State or locallaw. I have hazmat and tanker endorsements and have read nothing which would prohibit carrying while hauling those loads either.
