This duck seems perfectly happy to ride shotgun with his truck driver owner. From 9NEWS.com:

The view through Joe Mansheim’s side window raises all sorts of questions. What for instance is a duck-hunting truck driver doing with a waterfowl riding shotgun?

“Truckers are like, ‘What the heck is that?’” said Mansheim about the 9-month-old mallard named Frank, propped up on a pillow, head darting from side to side, riding in the passenger seat of his International Truck as he drives through the Twin Cities.

“Goofy duck,” said Mansheim, with the affection a father might show his young son.

The two chat often on the road. Mansheim complains about the traffic; Frank quacks. And driver and duck go about their business delivering construction materials throughout the Twin Cities for Elite Transportation Systems.
