Profile For Benjamin B.

I have a great Dane and she is a wonderful travel companion. She stayed with me most of my previous career in a 27 foot camper. Great Danes are a lazy breed that don't need a lot of activity. You can share a bed with them no problem if you don't mind serious cuddling.

I am facing going back OTR and am checking out the idea of taking my Dane with me. Anytime I leave, he stops eating for days and mopes around with his head hung down. I found a couple of companies that will allow him. I have had Danes for 30 years, they are quite content to lay around doing nothing. Give them a chew toy, walk them a couple of good healthy walks a day and they are good. I have seen Danes getting out of trucks at truck stops and other large breeds as well, including a Newfoundland just a few days ago - another large breed dog. Per the original poster - just google dog ramps and you will have pop up all kinds of them in all kinds of price ranges.

I have some questions about modern day OTR and curious if there is any info on this site for that? I haven't done OTR since the early 90's, been doing local driving. I have been reading all over the place about finding places to park isn't exactly easy and I know the rest areas I pass by in the morning going to work (early) are always completely filled up and down the Interstate entrance ramp parked next to the no parking signs, lol. And now I have encountered truckstops that actually want you to pay to park there! gag
