Does anyone bring their dog with them?

First off make sure company has a pet policy in place otherwise that's grounds for termination.What you do is just walk or drive out with pet acting like just another normal day.But the way you would get caught is if someone at the terminal asked for your pet permit.You get that when you tell company you have pet and they take so much out of check every week till pet deposit is paid.I snuck tiny for over a yr then one day guard asked for my pet permit.I didn't get fired or anything just had to get money to pay half the pet deposit right then and there.

 

I have a pet rock. Keep her between the exhaust manifold and turbo.

 

Scout out boarding facilities near each terminal. When yo get to a terminal, drop your trailer, bbtail out and check your pet into a boarding kennel thrn go about yout business. If you only need a couple hours without the critter, you can also look at groomng shops.

 

If you have to sneak you know its wrong, but I am one of the few that has never been against that wall. Easy to spew high standards when they aren't tested lol. If you are a good house keeper and the pet isn't a D.A. its not bad. Main thing is will pet really listen or when it wants to. Is it big enough to really cause a big law suit if it wants. And the one no one likes will you leave it to ensure the load is delivered on time if its having a D.A. time and is lost or whatever and you are short on time. I had to make that decision luckily 3 days later he was exactly where I was parked. Wouldn't go to anybody and awful glad to see me. That bein said that was the dumbest most dangerous thing I ever done, mind was on the dog not the business at hand. Booby is my 3rd heeler in a truck over goin on 19 years, whether its my mechanics truck or bull wagon I always have had 1. He is young but he will be the last one I think.

 

I bring my baby boy Scrappy (rottweiler ) with me he is a people person his photo is on doors part of our logo. If I don't bring him my customers ask about him. They all have treats to give him. I think he has gotten me more business. But I haul ag stuff mostly.

Bout the same deal with the three heelers I have had. Customers due get used to seeing them, some dogs never meet a stranger those are cool.

 

Heeler? So does he ride on top of the sleeper?

 

Wasn't there a movie in which Burt Reynolds or Clint Eastwood was trucking cross-country with a dog?

 

My old female I had for so many years and yet to replace by the way, was sprayed by a polecat in Idebel OK. We just loaded a wagon full of brahmas she hated to bath out on the road. She bit at the water, me and a cowboy trying to help. So enough is enough I told her on the deck plate stay. She rode to Charlotte AR on the deck plate. every driver and they brother told me I had a dog lol. But I never worried about her didn't have to for her quirks she had grit.
