Unfortunately, TNI apparently prohibits service animals and refuses to employ people who need service animals. The recruiter today said "it's not illegal for us" and kept referring to my service animal as a "pet" while repeating to me that they have a "no pets policy." So, I guess I won't be applying there. I do believe their approach of taking the ADA clause that a service animal may be refused if it causes undue harm to the company is not legal as a company-wide policy without concern for the individual circumstances and without a good-faith effort to make a reasonable accommodation. TNI is basically saying their company policy is to not even consider making a reasonable accommodation, and to treat all accommodation requests for service animals as unreasonable, which is a violation of the ADA.
They just missed out on a solid driver with 2.5 years of clean MVR and a highly motivated work ethic, but I feel like I just dodged a bullet.
