    Does Swift have a pet policy? Besides needing my CDL and a company who hires student drivers, I REALLY need a company that allows pets in their trucks.

    Don't give up sadears.
    There are numerous companies that have pet policies, many of which are listed in the forum's here.

    Swift no longer allows pets on company trucks unless they're "grandfathered" in. Which means the pet had to be on the truck before the new policy which is about 2 years old at this point. Owner/ops of course can have them.
