Need some clarity of the "ride along" process

I am going to have to disagree with that statement. There are places that won't let a trainer take a student into to load. I know of a case where a trainer had to drop the student at a truck stop. Rider pass had nothing to do with it.

 

ive taken ride along; and ive been a ride along, just all that was needed was safety vest, and to stick by the driver at all times... that included being at the warf's where you need a MISC card, I just asked politely, and they let them in, so long as they stayed with me AND NOT WONDER OFF.
