    Don't go long unless you're absolutely certain that you will never have to snake around inside a tight old chemical plant that was built long ago.

    Problem is most tank companies don't allow riders.

    I'd like to know a few tanker companies that do allow pets.

    Plenty pets riding in Indian River trucks. They allow riders too, but don't know the criteria.

    While you may see pets being allowed in food service tankers, you won't see it much in the chemical tank industry. Pets aren't allowed in most chemical plants or refineries. So many companies just won't allow them.

    When I pulled pneumatic we’d deliver salt to refineries and my dog would go into the bunk and lay on the bed when I told her. The overzealous guards enforcing the rules were the only ones I worried about. Once we got back to unload people would see her in the seat and not say a word.

    Indian River and Prime are about the only big bunks I’ve seen running up and down the road with tanks.

    My employer is one of those companies. So I would like my next job to be one that will allow me to bring my dog on the truck with me. Or get me home every single day without fail, either way.
