Pets have now moved from the house to the road. Truck drivers are beginning to take their dogs and cats on the road with them. Studies show that having a pet on the road betters the health of truck drivers. A furry face helps to make long drives less lonely.
It can be beneficial for truck drivers to bring their pets over the road. Taking pets for bathroom breaks and walks gives truckers much-needed exercise that they wouldn’t receive otherwise. It has also been noted that having a pet reduces stress and loneliness for truck drivers.
Currently, there are various pet-friendly trucking companies. However, there are restrictions that come with bringing your pet over the road. Various trucking companies have weight restrictions, as well as pet deposits. However, many trucks are equipped with waste disposal areas inside the truck and pet areas in the terminals.
