Answer 1

If there is a relationship between driver and register models, you can write that relationship in the register model class.

public function driver()
{
    return $this->belongsTo(driver::class, 'driver_id');
}

Then you can get driver name by typing,

@foreach($registers as $register)
            <tr>
                <td>{{ $register->driver->driverName}}</td>
                <td>{{ $register->inOut }}</td>
                <td>{{ $register->plates }}</td>
                <td>{{ $register->carrier_id }}</td>
                <td>{{ $register->tractorNumber }}</td>
           </tr>
 @endforeach()
