    Hi,

    I'm currently in school, working toward my AZ and will be starting an internship in October. Afterword, I'm looking to do some long-haul team driving with my boyfriend (already licenced), and our dog.

    Can anyone share their experiences/opinions on bringing a pet? Which companies allow this?

    Thanks for any advice,
    Steph

    TransX allows pets in the trucks. Even allows them in terminals. They just don't let them run free.

    Many times in our Winnipeg terminal someone has their dog with them. One of our guys had a cat the other day.

    Someone had a chihuahua/pit bull cross. Cutest little bugger!! How it happened is beyond me, though.

    And we do run teams.

    Anyone who hires new Canadians should allow pets too.

    Thanks, I'm in the GTA but relocation is alright. The only thing deposited by the dog in the truck is fur (let's hope)
