So far, the couple of companies that have caught my attention have a strict no pet policy... Schneider/TMC
Also UPS, but as they have you home daily, not an issue.
I love cats, but couldn't imagine living in an area so close to a litter box. Eating and breathing so close to litter dust, cat urine and feces? No thanks.
I don't know of any laws or rules about that, the only thing I do is make sheer I have control of my dog before a DOT officer opens the door. How do you post a photo in here from a phone?
Im not sure but I think you have to first upload the photo to a sharing site like photobucket, then cop-y the url and then hit the photo button and paste in the link.

Photobucket had an app that makes the process easy.

State and Federal DOT Officers are responsible for commercial vehicle enforcement. "The truck police" you could call them.

My situation right now has a litterbox less than 6' from my bed. I have one in my room and one in living room because I lock one of my cats in my room with me at night when I sleep (everyone has their "security blanket" for me it's my cats... I'm gonna miss them dearly while training) so she needs a place to go to the bathroom, and yes I have food and water for her in my room too.
cats are usually good about burying their waste so as long as you clean it every 2-3, maybe 4 days and change fresh litter into it every couple weeks or so the smell really isn't a big issue. also don't buy cheap litter... that stuff will have you smelling the waste. simple tidy cats clumping litter works just fine.
In a truck, cat litter would get cleaned out every day. No smell.
Many years ago I used to travel the country with a cat, often staying for several weeks in a space no bigger than a condo cab. I used a brand of kitty litter made from cedar shavings and cleaned the box every day. No clay dust in the air, and the room smelled of cedar not ammonia. Only downside was it wasn't available nationwide, so several times a year a friend back home would mail me a box of kitty litter. That occasioned a few odd looks, but I never once begrudged the cost.
My biggest worry is were will that litter even if its cleaned daily go when something serious arises. As my 2 yr old would say eeeewwwww yukka. Hey every one has there preference.

Uh?
I guess he means if there's an accident or something? Yeah that would be pretty disgusting...
Having lived on the road AND having had cats, I just don't see how people can do it. It's hard enough to keep the interior of the truck clean of dirt, dust, mud, etc. I can't even imagine laying a litter box somewhere. Without thorough ventilation, the dust that arises just from scooping it out would quickly fill that little space and settle on everything!
