Rider Policy Info
Topic 21711 | Page 1
Some companies have policies that would cover 3 people, a "3 heartbeat" rule. Your best bet would be to call the company, and ask them, personally.
Keep in mind, that even the largest company trucks will be be very confined for 3 people. If you, or your other partner were to also get a cdl , and run a team truck, it might be easier to "sell" the company on your arrangement.

So, I've kind of got a situation here and I need all the help I can get. Before I go into details, anyone close minded or full of negativity PLEASE don't comment. I'm not looking for trouble.
I'm in a happy and committed polyamorous relationship with 2 amazing people, one of which who is looking to get his CDL and start cross country driving. This is something he's wanted to do for a long time and he wants all of us to have a part in this journey. Most companies I've been able to find information on, have a rider policy that either focuses on parents with kids or has a max limit of 1 passenger. Are there any companies that allow 2 passengers, one being labeled a "friend" and the other his legal spouse?
We have talked and he is more than willing to pay extra fees and insurance and things like that. We just need to find a company that will work with us.
