    I'd rather ask a bunch of strangers that are experienced truckers than my driver manager to what might be a stupid question. I work for Western Express. I'm sure pleanty of drivers work for them

    I know. I was wanting to get as much experience with them as I can before moving on. I figured being a trainer would look good to other companies.

    Just get your experience, or a clean record and most anyone will hire you.
    Do you really want to ride with someone that has to work for them?
    (No offense to anyone. These companies serve a purpose)

    I don't know if I could handle sharing a truck in the first place, but I can guarantee that I couldn't do it with a dog too.

    I rode with this chic that was a FULL psycho once that had a dog. About a week or so.
    It was utterly disgusting. The dog was some poodle mix that had to sleep with you. The texture of its skin was like the creature from alien.

    It was on all kinds of meds and special diet, and she would constantly rag about it.

    I fed it spicy corndogs everyday while she was driving. :)

    If you have a dog in the truck. At least, out of the three of you, there will be one intelligent life form. :)
