Hello Stormin. I am currently enrolled in Apollo trucking school in Lima Ohio. Bob came to our school today and talked a pretty good game. I told him I've read these threads that you drivers have written and personally I didn't want to go back to the east coast. He mentioned a route he referred to as mid-west regional. Not doubting him, but I've never heard mention of it in any of the Cheeseman threads. Have you ever heard of it? He said it was like Ind, Oh, and Mich areas, more or less. Just wondering. Thanx up front.

 

Shovelhead78: All outbound loads you get to choose and yes you can run regional. We have shuttles that run every day to Cleveland,Detroit,GrandRapids,Chicago there always extra loads go into these areas with stops on the way some times you can get back to fort in the same day sometimes not. I run OTR and I think that's what most run that have posted on here. Good luck

 

Thanx much Stormin'! Filled out and sent my on line application tonight. I'll call Bob tomorrow and make sure he got it. Like to head over that way and visit y'all's facilities, maybe meet a couple of the folks around the yard. Safe travels to you driver. Maybe see ya around sometime.

 

Leaving Cheeseman. But WOW, what a good company. YOu can do far worse than Cheeseman, but I doubt you can do much better.

 

heading off to new horizons,geargrinder?

 

Seems to be my MO lol. You never know, this might be the one!

 

Good luck with whatever life throws at ya!

 

I just keep my mind on how much money I am making and that makes any little irritations bearable, this will be the easiest job you have had.
