That was the main reason I wanted to certify my dog as a service animal but that option turned out to be more difficult than I expected. I've talked to several drivers that told me not to even mention my dog because they'll never see him anyways but I just can't do that if I know there are rules against it.

Roehl transport is suppose to be one of the most pet friendly trucking companies but even they have a 50 lbs max on pets. So, I kept calling around and did start to find a few that didn't have any limitations on pets as long as they're non aggressive. None of these places offered training but some did offer to reimburse.

I figured I would have more freedom finding a company that will accept my dog if I just got my CDL from a school. I also wouldn't have to be away from him as long and saving me 4 weeks of boarding fees. I still have to figure out what I'm going to do with my RV as well when I go in for training. I'm thinking I'll put all my belongings into storage and put the RV up for consignment or maybe I should wait and find a storage unit for the RV as well.
I didn't know Uber Freight existed either. I was kidding about the friend of a friend of a friend saying if you didn't get my sarcasm lol but I came across that video and thought of you. Prime seens like good people too. You're putting obstacles in your way worrying about the weight of your dog nobody cares and nobody will notice. They need driver so get out there and start making some money
