    Yeah, I saw that on one of the applications -- already asked me if I'd be interested in becoming a trainer. Like, ####.... that was quick? lol

    The question was not asking for particular companies, sheesh. Even in original post, I stated that was *not* the question.

    You didn't say when you went solo. If that's the case what are you going to do with the 3 kitties while training.

    My parrot disowned me and rebonded with my mom. It sucks. I'm an only child. I ain't have no friends or girlfriend. All I had was my bird. I'm lonely and like to feel sorry for myself on occasion but I am not going to turn a truck into an aviary. Whoever feeds your cats while you are gone will be their new bff. It will be fine. Just think of all the new experiences (sans cats) you will have. Like having to poop really bad and all you got is a subway bag with that one napkin.

    I did say after I've completed the CDL school, though (true) I didn't say before solo-status, either... somebody decided to make it about during that initial period and everyone else ran with it. It's common sense -- not to mention disallowed -- to not have pets initially until solo-status. No, I didn't think I'd have to spell it out when I am eligible to. Though... it was in another post.

    I apparently have two friends who will temporarily cat-sit and they'll be paid, so yeah.. it better be very temporarily since I'm broke and not to mention the cats aren't theirs to be taking care of anyway lol. The question was when they do come on-board, how I can manage to get all three on without getting fired if it's not 100% in line with the pet policy. If anyone knew a company who'd have no issues with it, that would be their chance to share. As someone said, the pet policy is really more like a "guideline", anyway. And no, home time will not be used for actual home time, but for sight-seeing across the country. So, a year minimum (I have no intention of company-hopping and may make other plans after the year of OTR) without the cats? Yeah, not happening. The OTR's for national sight-seeing "vacation", since I'm broke.

    Obviously I don't have experience with companies and the realities of how they check for policy compliance with pets and wouldn't know the unofficial 'tips' of how drivers get away with something at any point with what seems to be so much scrutiny with the policies and laws. I mean, if I wanted to bring an iguana, yeah I probably would be asking on here how to swing an iguana when companies permit only dogs/cats.

    I *do* do my homework first and not everything is found via googling. That's when I have to ask on a forum. Again, those three members understood what I was trying to find out and answered already. [REFER TO POST #44]

    You're in contention for driver of the year wherever you end up. I can tell.
