Leave your dog in the cab???

These states won't let you idle the truck with you in the truck trying to sleep, I am sure they are not going to be concerned with a dog.

 

i have heard from guys i know that drive I DONT sorry.
one friend has said a pet will get you around this and in this post a guy said the same

trucking industry regulations 1st page topic Idling a criminal offense i cant post the link i dont have enough post to do that yet sorry

 

But think about it if a cop pulled up and you were sitting in your cold truck and it was 20 degrees outside 10 with the windchill and inside the truck a little warmer but still freezing they would do nothing

BUT if your dog was in their and you sitting in a nice warm truckstop eating or in a nice warm motel room for the night your GOING TO JAIL for animal cruilty.

 

I can understand your concern here but, at this time there are NO pet laws of this nature about this type of situation.

 

I leave me in the cab.

 

Still digging around, but here is something of interest.

I will search around for actual current laws regarding this though.

 

OH WOW I learned something today!!! Hey this is cool! GOOD JOB SPORTS!!

 

I take my littlest dog with me, and haven't found it to be a problem. of course, I tend to run during the day and sleep at night, and she hasn't had any problems with that. I tend to follow the idling laws and since I don't believe in idling much anyhow, it isn't a problem for me. At night, the windows are open and I seem to get enough ventilation, and only have to idle a little bit in Jul or Aug for cooling. In winter, I have a bunk heater, and she curls up under the covers of the sleeping bag anyhow. I keep her supplied with cold water, and we haven't had any issues about the temps.

Bottom line, if it gets so hot that she becomes uncomfortable or is in any kind of heat related danger, then she will simply have to stay home. But i find it no hotter in the truck than it is in the yard when she stays home, so it just isn;t that big of a problem.

 

YES...I remember you telling me this as well....
