Well I am not sure how to interpret the rider policies being I am not a driver yet and looking for a lot of answers first. I see when I read yes some have rider policies only wife no problem married 26 years, but some say limited time rider policies, what does that mean exactly? I am looking for a company that I can train with , then work full time meaning essentially living in the truck 365 a year with my wife and my cat our kid more or less. So I can not really go on board with a company that says she can not go all the time with me but some time as our goal is to not have a home base and save as much as we can for several years. Is this reality and do you or do you know any one that has their wife with them and pet full time but the wife is not a driver at all? thank you again for answsering a new interested person

Almost every major company will let you take your wife with you full time. When they say a "limited rider policy" the restrictions are usually based on age and relation. Every company sets their own policies, but most have a minimum age between 8-12 and sometimes they'll limit passengers to immediate family only. There is no ongoing list of companies and their policies because they change all the time so you'll have to contact the companies themselves during the application process to find out.

The pet is going to be the tough part, not the rider policy. Very few companies allow pets. So that's the one you'll have more restrictions with.
