Hey there everyone... When all is said and done and I finally get on the road, Id like to take my old dog with me... So how does that work with Truck stops and showers?? Are most FlyingJs dog friendly, or do you all just leave your dogs in your trucks while doing all your necessary business??
Thanks again ... V

I’ve heard Love’s allows them in shower rooms. I’ve had my dog with me since 2016 and I’ve never taken her in to a truckstop. She stays in the truck while I go in.

Just make sure your truck will stay idling or has a good APU.

What mitrucker said
Leave the pup in the truck withe the heat or a/c on. They’ll be fine. I’ve been taking my pups on the road with me for years & never had an issue.
One good rule is if you get out of the truck, they do too. So after you get loaded up or emptied out you go for a walk, get fuel…go for a walk, etc…Vision, ProfessionalNoticer, RockinChair and 6 others Thank this. -
And be prepared the sniffing all over the truck stop. I take my little sausage dog if I'm just around town picking up a load. Let him out at the truck stop and he goes nuts Lol

Don't ever consider sneaking your pet without company permission. Other drivers or something else will uncover your secret and companies often treat an unauthorized pet the same as a hitchhiker, terminated ASAP. Having the dog with me was so much better than the time I drove solo without a dog. The dog was on her leash before a truck door was ever opened. You do not want to deal with half of your dog getting run over.Last edited: May 19, 2022

There is a very well documented thread on here someplace about dogs in showers.

Don't forget that it's just as easy on the road for a truckers dog to gain weight as it is for a trucker.
Watch out for the occasional loose dogs at truck stops too.tscottme Thanks this.
