Question for any and all to answer!

Are there any companies that allow you to take your family with you in the truck? My wife and I home school our kids and most of it takes place in the truck where I am currently employed. The problem is that this company has no benefits and I am basically a contract driver. If anyone has any ideas or knows of any companies that will work with this type of situation please feel free to reply.

I don't know of any companies that would allow more than one passenger in a truck.

Most companies I have delt with only have a one person rider policy. Meaning you and one other person ie spouse, child under 18.

I agree with the others I have for the most part only seen companies allow 1 passenger in the truck at a time. If it is necessary for you to seek employment with a new company it may come down to the wife and little ones having to stay behind.

Thanks for your responses. I have heard of people home schooling their kids in the truck before but I guess either they worked for a company like I do or maybe they weren't following company rules. Anyhow thanks for your input!
