    Most all pet policies I've read say "One dog or one cat"

    Well, I'm wondering if any of you guys see drivers bending the rules by having "two" small dogs? I've had a couple of recruiters tell me that I can sneak by with my two little dogs...just be careful when around other company employees, someone might rat me out.

    Do you see anyone getting away with it?

    Not hard to get away with it.Although recruiters shouldn't tell applicants to bend the rules.

    I have seen as many as 4 dogs in a trk. One Dart driver had 3 dogs and a bird in her trk.. Sure would not want that one after she gets rid of it.

    I have seen veritable rolling menageries.
    What goes on in truck, stays in truck.

    Ive seen so many drivers that have more then enough cats and dogs in their trk.I snuck tiny on board with a no pet policy company.Never got caught.I also had her for a couple yrs with another company that requires a pet deposit.Then a guard asked to see my pet permit.No harm done though.I still kept tiny with me.

    My husband worries about hiding two dogs, he wonders what would happen if our truck broke down and the company had to bring us another truck.... and while dropping off or picking up truck at the terminal.

    If those dogs are inseparable I would bring them both.
