    Welcome to the forums grandma!!

    Short simple answer... NO. If a company allows riders, there is a minimum age of around 12 or 13yrs, AND that is only during the spring/summer, not winter when roads are dangerous. Hey I'm a grandpa, and would love to take my granddaughter with me a time or two. She's old enough now, but my company has a strict no riders, no pets policy.

    There are age limits with most companies for riders, the family part is okay but I'd guess the age part wouldn't be.

    BTW, welcome to the Forum and maybe you will get some other feedback on this issue.

    I don't think any company alows babies.The youngest i've seen was like 5 yr old kids.Besides its not wise taking a baby on the trk.Who would care for the baby while he is driving?The jerkyness of the trk would not be healthy for a tiny baby.

    Are you asking if the baby can live in the truck with him?

    I've seen babies in trucks as well as a couple dogs. Lester Coggins comes to mind, however I'm sure it was on the sly.
