Watkins shep recruiter said I can take my english bulldog otr if I put $500 deposit ... Moved to top of my list IF I Have to go otr.

You could be screwed sir, in saying that though, I see alot of people in swift, who look like they are driving company trucks with dogs. So perhaps much like inverters it's a "out of site, out of mind"
-
There are plenty of companies out there that allow dogs. Most require a deposit however. Really not that big a deal. Don't expect a new truck though if you are bringing a pet. Chances are they are going to give you one that has already been pee'd in!
Do your homework. It will pay off. We really enjoyed having our dog with us and it was so worth it. Not only that but it is some added security out there on the road. You may also want to find companies that run APU's because you aren't going to be able to leave your dog in the truck in the summertime. Especially in some of the hotter states.
Check out some of the older pet threads on here. There is a lot of good info for having a pet on the road with you.
Good luck!
MrEvgyrt and PowerOfSolitude Thank this. -
I would guess that information is readily available on the company websites. Do a little research, and I'm sure you will find the answer to your question.

Thanks. What's an APU? -
Auxiliary power unit. An APU runs on a lot less fuel than a idoling motor
-

The APU or "little motor" will run the A/C in the truck so that your pet won't cook at a truck stop in Barstow! It is illegal to idle your truck in California and you don't want to leave your pet in the truck without A/C.
Course I'm sure it will only be a matter of time before the outlaw the APU in Cali!
