I am wondering the same thing!! I have a German Sheppard and would like for him to travel with me. He is already trained and is a great dog. I would really hate for him to stay home if at all possible. Good luck, and if you find a company that allows dogs, let us know.

A lot of companies have a small pet policy with a deposit. No reptiles for most of them.

I know Celadon has kennels for when you are stuck at the terminal. If that helps any? Not sure on how big or anything, but a friend of mine likes the kennel thing. He also said they play on the property with balls & things with their pets.

Catprint Red What companies allow pets?

I'm new to trucking (after driving taxis for five years), getting ready to train with Schneider and give 'em the year to get the experience, but later on down the line I want to take my two cats along on the road. Schneider says no, so which companies allow pets?

Many trucking companies that advertise in those "trucking" magazines found in truckstops, USUALLY include information such as: rider and "pet" policy in their advertisment. IF NOT, all it takes is a simple phone call to the recruiting office of a prospective trucking company.

While many companies DO allow dogs, there appears to be a bias against drivers having #####(cats) in their trucks.

US Xpress allows pets but only 1, but they ain't going to ever figure out you have 2 if you don't go telling everyone in the world you have two, and i have seen plenty of drivers with a cat and dog or 2 dogs, havent seen anyone with 2 cats, and i have a cat that rides on my truck...

its pricy you pay 100 up front then they deduct $50 per pay check until you reach your $500 deposit.. and shady as well you have to have your truck checked out each time you change trucks for what ever reason, and if they say your truck needs to be detailed (because they detail all their trucks any way) YOU pay for the detail, also if anything breaks and they find pet hair in it or could be the problem you pay for the Part! including AC filters and anyting dealing with the AC on the truck..

I just put my cat on the truck because there clean and never told anyone and never ran into a problem the entire year she was on the truck now she stays home with my wife...

Arrow Trucking out of Tulsa, Oklahoma allows pets. They are a flatbed company. We have two dogs with us, a Border Collie, Angel, and a Siberian Husky, Harley...they are also pricy, $500 Pet Deposit, they take it out of your check at $50 dollars a week too, and we have also seen Arrow drivers with cats, they only allow one pet, but you don't have to tell them that you have two. And the weight limit on pets is 50 pounds. The shop people know that we have two pets, but they haven't told anyone, so we are fine. But if you don't want to pull flatbed, the other person who said that you can look in trucking books is right, most of the adds list wethier or not they are pet friendly...Good luck

Road Sheltie

Howdy! Ya, I'm having to find someone to work for that both offers training and will allow pets once you are solo, so remember that. I have a Sheltie and she's ready to go! There are more than I thought there would be, have to admit, but also have to weed out a few that I see here get a lot of complaints for other reasons, places like Swift. I was looking at CRST, but saw the complaints about them and they never answered two different email I sent on this very subject. Understand I'm not making a complaint about anyone.

The two I'm considering are either Lisa (owned by FFE) and Midwest Coast Transport. Been having trouble finding out a lot about either of them specifically, but the little there is seems positive. I'm thinking the large deposit is going to be universal, and I can't blame them for that. So I'm looking at them, but of course they aren't the only ones. I sure would like to hear stories from pet (especially dog) owners who have been employees for any line.

Give me a squeeky, a basket, and a star to guide her by . . .

The Sheltie

Talking Sorry

Hello,
Sorry, Hubby hasn't worked for any of them....I would divorce him if he worked for Swift...Sorry, Don't get me started on them....LOL...I had a friend that was a trainer for FFE, and he liked it a lot. We pull only flatbed, and that's all I know, I would help you out more if I could, of course. Arrow trains drivers, but I'm sure you not interested in flatbeddin'....


Let me know how it goes with you though....
