    Guy I parked next to last night had a pit in his W900. Just like every one I've met, a big hyper baby that has no idea how big he is, he WILL be a lap dog.

    My trucking partner. He always rides with me. I don't have him for protection for that I have a 92fs or a g17. He's only for companionship.

    First off you can carry a weapon as long as you aren't a felon or anything. I love animals so I see no problem with the dog either. What company did you end up going with?

    A dog on the road can be a great companion for sure... Smaller would be easier for obvious reasons and an 8x8 box is kind of small for a bigger dog or a hyper dog... If he is too heavy to be lifting in and out of the truck several times a day, consider some kind of ramp were he can get up and down on his own power.

    His = his/her
