    I'm 40 miles east of st Louis, mo.
    I'm looking for a pet friendly (70# dog) to obtain a CDL and work for.
    I understand no pet while training.
    I'm more interested in flat bed driving (but this is not mandatory) as I want to transition into a local job after meeting my obligations.
    In the short term, regional or nation wide is most appealing.
    No wife or kids obligations, so longer time out is preferred also (but not mandatory).
    I appreciate any help.

    Pet is more important than flatbed.

    Maybe Melton? Roehl has flatbeds, or Maverick.

    70 lb dog. That's narrow's it down to companies with no weight limit on dogs.
    You're in a good location also.
    I just looked up Maverick and TMC and seems neither has pet policy, so rule them out.
    I'll keep looking.
    KLLM Transport - dog must weigh less than 50 lbs.

    Some food grade tanker companies allow pets and some don't.
    Contact a recruiter and ask about this company pet policy.

    Can confirm lots of melton drivers have dogs. No weight limit that I know of.

    He wants a company that has their own cdl school.
    If he can do the private cdl school, then Melton will hire him.
