I am considering getting my CDL soon and am wondering if this combination is possible. My girlfriend and her dog (25lb) would be accompanying me on the road during this time so we can see the country and spend more time together. I have my eye set on Prime and they do allow both passengers and pets, but I am not sure if they allow a combination of the two. Has anyone on here had any experience with companies that will train and allow this once solo?
Hi, Dan .. welcome to Trucking Truth!

This is a GREAT catch'all (most) application that takes very little time, and you'll just input those parameters into the 'one and done' form, as well.
Best to you, on the journey!! Keep us posted~!!

A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
Prime, Inc. does, as well as many companies. Take a look at that link that Anne included.
Yes prime will allow a company driver 1 passenger AND 1 pet under 30 pounds
There are many companies that will allow both at the same time. When you start calling companies always be sure to ask and ask if there is a waiting period to have a passenger, some companies want you to wait a short period of time but it is very doable.
Another big item is the breed (if it's a dog), and the species of pet. Some companies will not allow a cat, others will, then another company may prohibit reptiles.
