    Hi all,

    I'm wondering if anyone knows of any companies that have a child rider policy. My daughter is 7 and homeschooled.

    Thanks

    You will not have time to continue home schooling in a truck cab between driving periods.

    Child need to be home in school with people who will homeschool her or in a proper school. YOU focus on driving and resting.

    I have to agree with x1Heavy.........You'll Never have Time to "help" or "coach" your little one in a truck- Just not enough Time and Too Dangerous...

    We're certainly not trying to assist in raising anyone's children, But Kids should be in the presence of other children at that age to develop friendships and character.....Or in a Home to be Homeschooled, Not in a semi truck.

    No company will allow it. That's why the child rider policy is only for Summer Vacations and there is also a Child age restriction that is usually established by the Insurance provider.

    Your child is better off you than being stuck in an adolescent indoctrination center.

    Sounds like child abuse. Dragging a 7 year old child all over in a truck. Not a good environment for a child. Give your kid a normal childhood.
