Need advice on my new logistics company

Others have answered this, I'll try to give 2 examples. First, no shipper is going to care about the rider form. Either they allow passengers or they don't. Where your area will get grey is that most of what the shippers consider a passenger is a non-CDL holder. If your wife doesn't have a CDL, well essentially you're both the same to them.

Now, my stories. Once I was traveling with my family. Wife and 2 young sons. I had a pickup at a paper mill. They did not allow passengers, so they waited at the little truckstop near the entrance of the mill while I loaded. Another time I loaded at Arconic in Newburgh, IN. I had my son with me and they dont allow passengers in the plant. There is an office where you watch safety videos and I left him there. They too did not care that I had permission to have him in the truck. Nor would they have cared if he wasn't a co-driver, if he had a CDL. CDL driver, no matter why he is in the truck is ok, non-CDL driver isn't.

 

No particular reason, just asking!
You remind me of someone.
