Companies with generous pet policies

I have a cat and a dog and no one who can take care of them for longer than I'll be in training. I'm thinking of going to truck driving institute in Mississippi. My dog is nearly 70lbs. I really don't care about pay, I'd prefer a more female friendly company but I'll work with whatever I can to take care of my pets. I rode with my ex for about 6 months so I'm pretty familiar with the lifestyle. And a very safe driver, no issues at all. Picture for attention.

Crete. They keep a have cent a mile if you have a pet to cover the detail costs. That is like $15 a week if you drive 3000 miles.

Thank you! Like i said, the money is not an issue at all, I'll be living in my truck and no other dependents besides these two, so my big concern is just finding companies that allow multiple pets. 😊

Prime has a 'three heartbeats' rule. You and two pets, you and a codriver and one pet. You get the drift.

May Trucking, pay is low, but you can bring pets on day one. They even distribute stickers for pet owners to put on the door in case of emergencies. Also a surprising number of women drivers compared to other companies. I was in an orientation class and 3/7 students were women, plus the instructor was a woman. Again, pay is horrible, but usually that is for any mega at the beginning of a career. I had 2 cats and my wife allowed on the truck from day one of solo-ing.
