The old saw competing the two most popular pets:

Dogs have owners.
Cats have staff

I've had cats and dogs, someone's both at once. The above quote is true.

I only have to snap my fingers and the dogs come running..the Cat? It takes a 10 minute dissertation to get the cat to even look in my direction, let alone come when called. So, I'd say if you want to take your cat in the truck, make sure it is well trained (as trained as a cat can be) so you know how it'll behave and will come when called.

You might be training your cat wrong. When I call mine, he answers verbally and comes. He even sits and stays. One time I left him on the conveyor belt in the pet store while I went to pick up his litter. Cats are smarter than dogs, or they think about stuff alot more. Your cat has figured out that you calling it is not worth his/her time and effort for some reason.

Hmmmm.... Maybe I am? I'm not sure...

one thing I do know... when I point at something, my dogs look at where I'm pointing, the cat just sits there and looks at my hand. Maybe I just have an unusually stupid cat? LOL confused.gif

Sorry, phone went haywire as I was typing. I was going to say:

Man, all I can imagine when I think of having a cat in a truck is the cat with all its fur raised, screeching as it jumps up and digs its claws into your face when it gets freaked out. Then I imagine what that would look like from the outside: a truck swerving all over the road , the driver desperately holding on to the wheel with one hand and trying to pry a hysterical cat off his face with the other...

I have this stuck in my brain now.

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.
