Disclosing having a Service Dog during trucking job interview

Hi,

I am enrolled in a CDL school. No one at the school or the companies I call can give me a definitive answer about my service dog (PTSD) during the driver training. I know by Fed law they are supposed to, but I was told they don't have to.

Any suggestions?

I am currently in a legal battle regarding a CDL grant and school over my service dog. I recommend speaking with an attorney who specializes in disability discrimination and filing a complaint with the Attorney General's office.

Service dog NEW

I've had two dogs while driving and never did have a problem .

And a service dog, isn't supposed to be rejected nor the person from any job or business.
As to a job, well as long as the dog doesn't interfere with job details,,,,, why not
