    Happy 2019!

    Looking for leads on companies (primarily OTR) that allow a girlfriend as a rider, whether I pay the premium or not.

    Or options to “get around” this until we can make it official stateside.

    C’mon, I know some of you gotta be sneaking your gf’s onboard.

    Thanks!

    Though it's not advised, I always took wife or girlfriend along whether it was company policy or not. She would go behind the sleeper curtains when we crossed scales; never was caught. One time wife had to show green card in South Texas, but wasn't asked if company allowed rider.

    Stage Call out off Apache Junction AZ allows riders.
    Must have 3 years clean record , passport and be willing to stay out at least 3 months at a time.
    It's the entertainment industry.
    Be advised though, some tours don't allow wife or gf on them.

    Other companies have a minimum time working before you are allowed with a waiver to take a passenger. It could be a martian for all they care.

    CFI allowed me to take my then-wife and cat with me, but that was before the buyout. Things may have changed since then.
