let's work with the assumption that the company is ok with it and the insurance isn't an issue

Welcome aboard Sir!

I am not sure you can work off of those assumptions. Just about any company I know of has an age limit for the riders, and I have never seen them allowing infants on board. I could be wrong, but I have never seen that anywhere.

It is a smaller operation, less than 10 trucks and a family friend owns it, if by chance I could get autherization, would it even be legal? Reading forums and blogs across the Internet I've seen a few people do it but I want to make sure I'm 100% legal. I can't aford any fudge factor as a rookie driver with a less than perfect driving record.

I know it's an old thread but I'm considering taking a regional job, I've had my cdl for almost 2 years but only spent about 2 months driving a dump truck. I'm planning to take my wife with me on the road but here's the question / dilemma: In 6 months we will be having a baby... wondering if anyone has taken a newborn on the road (my wife will not be driving will be only taking care of the baby) legality, practicality, let's work with the assumption that the company is ok with it and the insurance isn't an issue (still working on getting those details figured out but don't need any advise on that) Does the child need to be in a car seat all the time? Sleeper with a net? Has anyone actually done this? Recently? Any and all advise is much appreciated
