    I want to know if there's a company that will let my wife, daughter and small dog ride with me at the same time from day one? I live in the Atlanta, Ga area. I also enjoy running rest, no north east. Am I asking for to much?

    Yup.(may as well ask for $2/mile as a company driver while your shooting for the stars! I'm not being a wiseazz, but no Northeast in and of itself is nearly impossible, seeing as about half of the nation's population resides there.:yes2557:

    Most carriers that offer a passenger policy usually have a minimum age requirement and will only approve 1 rider based on the seating available. 2 seats with seatbelts? No more than 1 passenger could legally ride with the driver.

    Pets are a whole other issue. Again it varies from company to company but expect to pay some kind of deposit to help offset the cost of damages/cleaning that will be required when you switch trucks.

    A better plan would be to get your own truck and authority. Then you can do whatever you want with the truck, control where you run, and who you bring with you. Just be aware that many customers have prohibitions against under age riders on their property as well as no animals allowed.

    Sounds like he wants to be a paid tourist and live in the truck.
