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.

Well what I was mentioning before is even if you get a CDL through a school you will still have to do team training with another driver at whatever company you go to. It doesn't matter where you get your CDL, you will have no experience driving a truck as a job. Meaning no matter where you go, expect to get put on a trainers truck for most likely a few months.
No company is going to say here's the keys go have fun to a new CDL holder who has no experience. In all honestly if a company tried to put you out there with less than 90 days team driving with a trainer then I'd run very fast away..
