    Yes, and she LOVES riding shotgun!
    I have a cat too but she will have to be boarded. Wish I could have them both with me but if everything goes well and I like driving a big rig then eventually I will do O/O.

    Interstate Distributor lets you take 2 pets; something to think about in the future.

    First one I've seen that allows 2 pets.
    Also hard wired inverter, refrigerator and even shore power for their trucks.

    Out of curiosity, when loading/unloading, are you allowed to leave your truck? For instance, go for a walk/run. Or do you need to stay the entire time?

    Stay close or inside the truck in case the shipper/receiver has to locate you for information.

    Yes generally speaking you'll find most folks in here quite helpful if you love the open roads and living out of a truck then OTR will suit you fine, the big advantage is you can avoid having to lease an apartment and having to pay for utilities so some big savings there per year if you just live in the truck.

    It is a big advantage, which is why I do it now. Of course I don't have a nice apu or battery pac or any auxillary unit on my pickup truck!
    Battery powered light and fan (for summer) and a butane stove to cook... old fashioned ice cooler on the "porch".

    What I give for a seat on that porch, and a 12 pack of good beer.
