    Most companies allow pets for solo drivers. Might be harder to have a pet as a team driver. Other driver might have pet and company has a limit of other driver not willing to stop so pet can use bathroom.

    also look into PTL.

    Which thread are you using to inquire about a pet? Use your own thread or you may never get all the answers.

    I was / am in similar situation with OP. What is the weight of Addie the poodle? Some carriers have weight limits for pets.

    When I started looking someone made a comment that stuck with me... The longer the training period the better your experience will be long term.

    That comment is true. I didn't learn much in my 70 hour training with Western. The trainer slept through most of it.

    I had to take the fastest route possible to get back to my dogs as they were with my ex.

    If OP has reliable pet care Magnum would be my choice. Followed by many of the others suggested by Chinatown
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    I was letting this person know Roehl won't let you have a pet until you've drove for them for 6 months, I asked them

    That should be a big red flag on both sides of the statement.
