Spending your days driving down the long road can be a bit lonely, and what better way to solve this problem than to have a traveling companion. Yes, dogs and cats make for good traveling buddies, but according to a transportation lawyer, jurors are going to see them as a distraction if an accidents happens. We are not saying pets should be banned from trucks, maybe trucking companies should revamp their policies regarding pets and make some easy to follow policies. Another way to prove that your pet isn’t a distraction is to install inward-facing cameras that capture what is going on inside the cab. It’s always good to take those extra steps to make sure things are done right and everyone stays safe.
