    ill be in springfield tomarrow so i will find out then, but my curiosity is killing me, So does anyone online now, Know the COmpany driver rider policy, and or pet policy

    My wife wants to come on the road with me. This means getting a full sized truck (im in a lightweight) and our dog of course.

    I'm thinking sense we will be living on the road it might be a good time to look into a lease, but we will cross that road down the line.

    Just trying to figure out what hoops i'll need to jump threw to get another truck, rider pass, and pet pass.

    There is a fee for both, but not sure of the exact number. Paperwork will need to be done with the DOT for your wife.

    There is no fee for a rider on the lease side, not sure about company though.

    I didn't have to put up a fee when I had a rider on the company side... just fill out the release form and fax it to my FM.

    According to an earlier post, the pet deposit is $1,000 and is refundable. Apparently, the info is on the Prime website in the Benefits section.

    A thousand is expensive but on the flip-side those that pay such a high deposit, I would think, are more likely to take care of their pets and truck. I would pay the deposit but my two Cardigan Corgis have separation anxiety when apart.

    I doubt my wife would ever ride with me: she might break a nail. :biggrin_25523:
