(Joab) I just felt that somehow Andy and Tommy knew the truck that they took shouldn't be theirs and they jumped upon the chance nevertheless. At least the edit felt that way
(theschnauzers) That is an assumption you are making that wasn't supported by anything that the editors included in the episode. No penalty was announced, and no instruction was referenced in the clue about how to get a truck to transport the bed frames.

Sandy is shown reading from the clue "You should ask the shop owner to call a driver" to transport the bed.
Andy (or Tommy) are shown, as they drive away, saying "That guy said to take the truck so we ran over. This could have been their truck, who knows."
So they did have an idea they were taking someone else's truck. Can't say they made a mistake by taking the chance when offered; we've seen this (and worse!) in other seasons. It was one of the shop people who apparently told them they could have it.
What I wondered about was why Laurence and Zac didn't get a penalty for what appeared to be just flagging down a truck passing by and using that as transport.
Not to mention that, yet again, they failed to fully read the clue - especially after first trying to get the beds into/onto the taxi.
(Sorry if I didn't do the quotes right, still a little new at this.)

mswood,
The cab was to take them to follow their truck. Apparently they did not want to hang off the truck or in the bed of the truck so they probably kept their previous taxi and used it.

mswood,
It's a private island in the British Virgin Islands named Scrub Island Resort, Spa & Marina. You can look at it on www.scrubisland.com.

I don't think Andy or Tommy had any knowledge that they were taking someone else's truck, they were told by the person at the bed frame place to take that truck, and that's what they did. If there was a mistake, it was a production mistake, not a Racer mistake. And it's very rare for the show to make any announced adjustment for it. (The last one I can remember was a detour task involving pianos and music in Russia; I'd have to look up which Race and leg that was.)
