Every one of those companies is a great company. USA Truck's pet policy is newly formed, too. Basically, just look for the company that you feel best fits your needs, and you will be good to go.

Love this Forum. I've been preparing to change careers and go OTR for over a year, and this website has been the most helpful, although I've spent a lot of time looking everywhere. My #1 deal breaker is Pet Policy. My Corgi Buster and I have been traveling around the Lower 48 & Alaska for 7 years, and we're both excited about the prospect of getting paid for it.
I had read several places (including their write up on this site - page 5 of Knight Compny CDL Training) that Knight had a no pet policy. Thanks to this post I had a great interview with a Knight Recruiter yesterday. They are now my #1 choice.
Thanks Rick for your list of companies that allow pets, thanks Brett for creating this site, and thanks to everyone that has made it such a useful and entertaining resource.

OTR:
Over The Road
OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.
