Companies that will allow a small parrot?

Years ago at the Petro in Fargo I parked next to an old owner op with a McCall? parrot named Chauncey,
He told me how the bird would chew up his low air flag and he had to keep spare flags with him. I think he drove a Marmon.
A bird would be a great conversation starter.

"But why's the rum gone?"

 

Gonna have to teach him to say 'I ate the logs.' - So you have an out with the DOT.

 

let the bird handle dispatch.

 

Since you've noted you're single that kinda' changes things.
I can only speak for myself from the position of an O/O, I've never been a company driver.
I personally think the money/wages aren't worth the sacrifices you have to make. I could name the drawbacks one by one but that would take forever.

But KLLee, you're still doing it after 35 years you ask. Like you, trucking was something I always wanted to do. When I started the money was decent and the government pretty much left you alone, now they've got their nose in every facet of the industry. I'm still in it because it's the only thing I know and at 65 I'm pretty much unemployable.
If you're young enough to try trucking and recover go for it. Read this forum extensively (with a grain of salt) to help in your research. BOL

 

OK, you've got some time, don't burn your bridges at that aircraft job as you may want to come back to it.
I quit a job at Ma Bell to go trucking and could've retired TWICE by now.
