    Goodyear plants in Houston and Beaumont refuse to load with a 25ob dog in the truck, even promised to keep her in a kennel in the bunk. No reason why? Anybody else get this and what do you do? I've never had it in 7yrs.

    Saw it one time on a rate con for a highly sensitive food place. I’d tell them to shove it up their pooper scooper. My dog is much more important then any stupid load.

    I guess sadly though maybe not responsible dog owner let their dog run free and bit someone? Now insurance says no? Stupid people make it tough on responsible people.

    All it takes is for someone with a fancy parking spot to step in poo and no doggies are allowed

    Look around at the numbers of pit bulls and "lab mixes". That's the reason.

    I wouldn’t have anything BUT a pit bull in my truck but I grew up with them and had them my whole life. Especially since your not supposed to carry a gun in your truck. At least the pit bull is legal to carry.

    The rules come about, not because some driver had a teacup yorkie yap at someone, but usually because some filthy dirtbag is living out his hood dream of watching aggressive dogs bite random strangers. Trucking companies with pet weight limits and nonrefundable deposits are not coping with the occasional pet guinea pig but 1 or 2 shredded truck interiors by dogs that wear heavy gauge steel chains for a collar.

    The "humans" that aspire to spread prison culture to the "free world" take no responsibility for ANYTHING they do. Not everyone wants to live the thug life. In their world thugs are the superstars. Vape this!
