    I mean, you may not need one...it's tough to tell another person what they need or don't need in certain circumstances. A teddy bear though? Lol

    Yeah, Caledonia was definitely one of the companies I've been looking into along with IRT. Work seems to run so much smoother with Fido. He brought me through real tough times and being able to travel with him and having him at work puts a smile on my face after every long day/shift. He's a great ride along and protector. As a female trucker, I need that. So I do understand the differences of what companies allow and don't. I keep those things in mind...but if I'm able to work with it, I'll go for it.

    You may later find that....if IRT is indeed hiring....that you may just want to stay on with them -- if you want/need a pet along.

    The hazmat tanker world will NOT be pet-friendly. :(

    I'm seeing this company will be my best bet. They seem fairly cool and hoping that they honor everything to maintain drivers. I appreciate you for the insight and information.

    I did food grade for about 14 years. I didn't know very many good food grade companies. To much micro management crap. E-logs dummy corporate people. I went to hauling C02 6 years ago. I haven't looked back.
     
    Robilade Thanks this.

    I’ve had my dog with me since 2016 and the number of times she’s had to suddenly go to the bathroom has been zero. Dogs pretty much have a schedule and as long as you avoid anything that upsets their stomach you’re good to go. Having a puppy is different, but with an adult dog you’ll know what you can get away with. I had stops with food grade pneumatic that were 5-6 hour unloads at low pressure so I’d stop and take her out before going to the facility. It’s not difficult.
