Hi Jordan and welcome! :)
I'd suggest you start investigating companies in this list first: List Of Trucking Companies That Allow Pets Do keep in mind companies are changing their policies all the time so the information may not always be 100% up to date. Always contact the companies directly for the latest info and answers to your questions on their policies.

Pre-hire:
What Exactly Is A Pre-Hire Letter?
Pre-hire letters are acceptance letters from trucking companies to students, or even potential students, to verify placement. The trucking companies are saying in writing that the student, or potential student, appears to meet the company's minimum hiring requirements and is welcome to attend their orientation at the company’s expense once he or she graduates from truck driving school and has their CDL in hand.
We have an excellent article that will help you Understand The Pre-Hire Process.
A Pre-Hire Letter Is Not A Guarantee Of Employment
The people that receive a pre-hire letter are people who meet the company's minimum hiring requirements, but it is not an employment contract. It is an invitation to orientation, and the orientation itself is a prerequisite to employment.
During the orientation you will get a physical, drug screen, and background check done. These and other qualifications must be met before someone in orientation is officially hired.

Hey everyone hope your all staying safe out there on the road. I had a question for you all. Do any of you know who has the best program for a passenger and pet to join me in the truck? Basically who will allow it to happen the soonest? I graduate Sage Trucking school in a couple weeks :) Looking for a company I can bring a rider and pet, yet also don't have to drive to many weeks with a trainer. Being with a stranger has be feeling anxious/nervous
Sage Trucking school... that's the school that I am currently planning to get my CDL through through my local community college. That is unless I hear from Knight or another company before then and they can offer what I need.
CDL:

A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
- Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
