    Does Central have a pet policy? If so, what are the requirements?

    From what I know, CRS does allow a pet in a company truck. However, there is a $500 non-refundable deposit. Not sure if this applies to leased vehicles.

    Yes, that also applies to leased trucks... It's for one cat or dog not more than 50 pounds.

    I should have asked that question to my recruiter today but completely forgot because it was just one of many questions. I don't plan on leasing by the way. So you guys both confirm that pets are allowed for company drivers? This is make-or-break deal for me since I plan on having my dog with me once I go solo. Thanks for your help guys

    Hey Huckstah, I also have been looking into Central as a company to go with for my training. This is one of my stipulations as well and speaking to a few different recruiters the answer is this.

    Once you go solo, it is a $500 dollar deposit and the one pet must be 50lbs or under. It is a big one for me too as once I go solo I will be bringing my wife and dog with me OTR so we can save up cash to get our own place eventually.

    Thanks! My dog is about 40-50 lbs, so hopefully they will allow him. Btw, Prime also has a pet policy and will train you for free, but I chose Central because they get you in your own truck way faster. Some students over at Prime had to go on the road for a trainer for almost 6 months, and my poor dog can't wait that long. Central can put me on the road solo in 4-8 weeks, I heard.

    Same here! I'm going to Atlanta on the 18th. The recruiter said I will spend one week there, and then they will ship us to Salt Lake City, Utah. Same plan for you?

    Oh nevermind I see you are in Sacramento, so I'm guessing you are going to Fontana or Salt Lake City in your first week

    I am attending truck school in Sacramento for a few weeks and then I will head to Fontana for orientation. Then I will hopefully start my OTR training. Hope to go solo by the end of April, hen head home to get my dog.
