Wanted: truck dog/puppy

[AvalancheTruckersGirl]

I'm new to the road & am looking for either a dog that is familiar with being otr, or.a puppy that could adapt. I'm especially interested in a medium to smaller large breed (sheltie to lab/boxer/bulldog size). Specific breed is unimportant, but does need to be good with kids & able to be a family dog too.

Why would you think that a dog would want to be locked up in a truck for hours on end?

Prisoners get treated better! Think about it.

Have you checked with your carrier to see if they will allow you to have a dog in their truck? Many carriers have a no pet policy. If you do get a dog you could limit your options should you decide to change jobs. Why don't you get a stuffed animal? You don't have to worry about it messing up the truck or losing your job if the company doesn't allow live pets.

my 3 year old boxer goes with me every day. but, she loves to sleep. she isnt really "locked up" all day. when i stop to get loaded from the time i'm done with paper work till i get the green light i'm outside walking running and playing with her. when it rains i got her toys in the truck, food, water etc. however, if you have a pet with you in the truck a APU is 100% necessary.
