Yes, bird. I've hauled dogs in the truck bed, and I've ridden in the truck bed, more miles than I can count. I've also had dogs loose in the cab. I just decided that they will be in crates, after some of the things I have seen, and stories I have heard from those traveling on the show circuit. Just as holding a child in one's lap, means the child will be the first one through the windshield, it can be the same with dogs.
I don't condemn animals loose in the vehicle, I just finally decided that mine would not be. My current two are the first to have to abide by that rule. I do not approve of dogs riding loose in the bed of a truck. It is one thing riding on one's land and in the pastures. Another altogether to be out on the roads like that. If it isn't safe for a child, why would it be safe for a critter, in the event of an accident?
