    YES i have the bosses OK, i already called him. just wondered what people here thought about it. im driving milk truck and its local so we would leave in the morning and be home around 4pm. i just wondered if this is a bad idea, if the boss is OK with it.

    if the boss is ok, then do it on non-school days. no need to miss school.

    if he stays in the truck, the farmers may not care, heck, some may want him out looking around.

    Does your truck have an air ride passenger seat? Can you safely attach his car seat/booster seat to it?

    Oh good grief! He can wear a seat belt! As far as air ride seat, if he was enjoying the ride, he'd be happy on a wooden stool!

    I'd say let em ride and roll that coal. He can actually see what it takes to make a living and a good educational experience.
    My kids loved the 359. Lol

    I did it with my dad, but it was before there were a bunch of rules. I'd ask the boss and roll on.
    One of the best days of my life
     
    AfterShock and Woodys Thank this.

    i called the boss BEFORE i made any plans. i guess he is going to get a taste of trucking tomorrow, at least on the local side of things. passenger side seat is not air ride only the driver seat.

    I took my 9 year old daughter out with me a couple of years ago.

    Surprised by her quick observations, her words not mine...
    "Why can't women drive without a cell phone in their hand?"

    "Why do people drive like morons?"


    "This truck is noisy and slow!"


    "Your job is boring!"

    Best of luck to you. ;-)
