Looking for company that has school and will allow dogs...Too much to ask?

oh and the naval base in norfolk no passengers but pets welcome. but it is oppisate in charleston sc passengers yes pets no.

 

Some terminals also will not let you take pets into the building such as US X, they have to stay outside in pet cages, this is esp true if having any shop work done.

 

here i am agreeing w/MNdriver again.where did you come up with all this? all the military bases i have been to have done none of what you type,ever,but have held my pistol until i exit.I hand it to them uncocked/unloaded/mag out and they hand it back mag in and loaded,uncocked as i depart.a couple times i was handed it back ####ed/loaded/locked and told it won't do me any good if it wasn't ready to fire.imagine that.I have NEVER had personel from a mb get in my truck.EVER.half the time i don't even have to open my #### door.


regarding the pets,I have never seen a shipper or a consignee that would not allow a dog in the truck.they may not allow the pet to come out of the truck but that is for another thread.please don't tell a wannabe anything that you can not substantiate.

 

I was a MA (MP) in the Navy until June 2009. The three years I was there we had a gate designated for trucks. All trucks were opened and inspected. If there was a seal, the truck went through our Mobile truck scanner (Can't remember the actual name of it right now since it's been a while) and the cab was inspected by us. Every base/post is different. It's up to the base/post commander how he wants things ran. Army posts are far more relaxed than the rest of the services at the gates. I spent 6 years in the Navy and now almost done with 3 in the Army. Been to a lot of different places and it's a different experience most times.

 

Yeah i deliver to a plastics plant and a chemical plant and both of them lookin around/under/inside the truck before going in.

 

Yea, DOW made me open the hood.

 

hummmm......xr1 seems like other drivers posting here are getting inspected too? so i guess its not my imagination after all. i guess your one of the lucky ones who have never been inspected, you probally always get a front row parking spot at the truck stop every night, along with a green light everytime you roll thru the scales, and never have to wait for a shower. i bet you have never waited for a door at a shipper or reciever either.

 

Because they CHECK the cab of your truck.

 

It's about time somebody got past the dog issue to warn against "free" company training. A very high percentage fail to complete the employment obligation and end up owing the carrier thousands of dollars .

 

A couple of things to consider. Can you afford to pay for your own schooling, or will you need to go through a company that offers schooling? Also remember that if your dog needs to see a vet, it can be very difficult on the road.
