State legality is below federal legality, so yeah plenty of states won't plate a kei truck or car unless they explicitly allow it but it's got to be legal to import federally before you can even begin dealing with state issues. The federal 25 year rule is pretty hard as far as I understand. Newer than that and you would need to import enough of the model to go through crash testing, unless something has changed. I think the only exception would be manufacturers.
Fun story, my dad tried to get a new-ish Chang Jiang sidecar motorcycle plated in Texas years ago and got a personal phone call from a state official telling him that it was an illegal import and if the bike was ever caught on the road it would be crushed.
Kei cars are importable by federal law after 25 years - pretty much everything is. If you see a right hand drive car/truck in the US, it's probably at minimum 25 years old.
PJ was definitely not clocking any different pay for us whether in store or on delivery back then, maybe they do now. I got paid the flat tipped rate no matter what I was doing. Car maintenance costs eat away at the tips real quick.
Eat, drive, burn fuel, tires, wear out the car, maintain what amounts to company transportation on your own dime, etc.
The only drivers that had it figured out at my Papa Johns' were the 3-4 "old" dudes (my age now) who had shitheap beaters they bought for a thousand bucks or less and would put zero maintenance into. They'd buy an old honda, suzuki, toyota, etc, and just do the bare minimum to keep them on the road until something broke badly enough to keep them off the road, then they'd scrap it and buy another shitheap. They were all salesmen at their day jobs and did delivery in the evenings in their beaters. Us young idiots had our cherished used cars we loved, modified, and drove delivery with. We were fools.
I delivered pizzas for a while and never let them "train" me to take up slack on the line. All the other drivers would do it but I refused because we weren't paid the same hourly wage as the line workers so why should I do their work?
Just about every effort by Western governments can be described as a "joint effort" with corporations because they're just doing what the corporations tell them to do.
