    My son is looking for a good company with a family rider policy that will let him take his wife and more than one child at a time on the truck. Does anyone know of a good company that will allow this.

    Thanks so much :biggrin_25526:

    There's only one passenger seat and a bed in the back that you can buckle into. But I bet most companies know nobody is going to buckle down to a bed all day, so they limit it to one passenger.

    crete has one of the most liberal rider policies. they will allow the spouse and a child if real young or a child over 5 to ride alone with the driver. hope this helps

    If you can find a company with a fairly lenient rider program, and you don't get through the terminal all that often then what people don't know won't hurt them (IMO) ;) Just don't get with a real big outfit so you don't have to worry when getting your family out at the truck stops.

    Oh yeah, and don't forget to keep them seated and quite, through the chicken coups especially!

    In my experience as being able to ride with my husband:biggrin_25519:, it was okay,but when the children came along only 1 parent with a child was allowed. As if there was an accident, the company did want the whole family to be wiped out.Another point is it would be illegal as both children if under age of 5 has to be in a car seat and there is only 1 seat to place 1 car seat. I hope you understand were I'm going with this.

    I need a company that allows a seven year old , ten years old and me his wife. He is buying the truck. It's his payments I don't know how companies can run a baby sitting job with an owner operator. They need to go get their Early childhood degree or become a teacher. Trucking is the wrong business for them.
