Does your pet keep you company on the road?

My faithful Jack Russell Terrier - Kipper hauled freight with me!

Great read from Sandy.

It looks like a tiny coon hound.

How many pet's can you take with you? Looks like some of you have 2? Does anyone know if FedEx CC allows pets?

I have 2 and I had them when I was with Bolt. In 7 months it only cost me 1 load but depending on the vehicle you are in it may not be an issue.

Going to be in a Straight Truck. Trying to start out as a Driver. Trying to figure out what companies allow and what they don't.

Fedex allows pets. It may keep you from a couple loads. But if you want your pet with you, to me its worth losing a few. I loved having my Chesapeake Bay Retriever on road with us.

FedEx doesn't allow pets in wg trucks.

All those dogs are adorable, but Kipper is a freaking genius, lol. I just watched a short vid on facebook, of Lawrence telling Kipper to 'stay', then leaving the dog alone in the room. Kipper did not stay. He got up, walked straight to the camera, and turned it off.
A real chip off the Roadhooligan block!

Bugsy has been in the truck since he was 7 weeks old, he's 5 now. When we're at a shipper/consignee we tell him to go to the back and he will stay there until we tell him it's ok to come back up front. We were amazed the first time we had to get out of the truck after we had told him to go to the back, and he stayed there!

For a terrier, he's pretty laid back LOL

If an alien spacecraft landed at the J'. and watched 2 truckers get out of the truck, walked on the grass, and one trucker was picking up the crap of the other trucker...
would the aliens ask the man or the dog for directions ?

He will make a thief think twice before trying to remove something from your truck.
