Profile For Kyle S.

I am a dog lover also and have researched this. Wil Trans has a 3 heartbeat rule and will allow the wife and dog after a certain point of you showing the ability to operate safely on your own. They seem like a great company and the recruiter I have talked with was excellent.

What exactly is the "heartbeat rule", and how does it work?

I've actually read that entire book and gone through most of that material, I just also wanted to hear from others in the industry about particular questions I had.

So I should start by saying I recently turned 21, have been debating getting my CDL for quite some time and am just debating the various ways to get it. I am also getting married very soon (although she loves to travel) and have a dog.

I'm really just trying to find out what to expect (I've been lurking around here for quite some time and finally joined) as a new driver, what companies are worth looking into (I've been looking at hundreds now) and also what are good options for obtaining my CDL/Hazmat.

The soon-to-be wife would really like to ride along and of course she has to bring the dog, so how are most companies structured with their waiting period on rider policy and what can I usually expect when asking this question?

I have some family in the industry but so far it seems they are very gloomy about it so I'm hoping to get some positive information, and also I do apologize if this is the wrong spot for this kind of a question.
