    Get all the endorsements on your cdl license, even if you may think you don't need them. Sometimes a really good job becomes available, but may require certain endorsements, such as hazmat or tanker. This way you're prepared to move quickly to take that job.

    You can start studying now for your CDL Permit, which you will need for school.

    Memorize as much as you can for now. You'll get the fine tuning in school.

    You gonna attend the Hamrick mill out on 82?

    Talon runs Giant Eagle out of Bedford. All of the red tape of a union with none of the pay but you'll get home daily, probably work weekends, and I'm pretty sure they hire students. Sysco out on Grayton never pulls their now hiring sign down if youre up for a workout every day.

    @Mike2633 Is Mr. Cleveland. He can give you a greater depth of the jobs available to students around here than anyone else on this forum.
     
    Mike2633 and Cleveland_Greg Thank this.

    What ever you do steer clear of the Dave's Supermarket on Shaker Square if you want a royal pain in the behind dock and dock worker to deliver to.

    I think that I may go to Great Lakes. They are the first I am visiting this weekend and will probably look at Hameick as well. I was thinking Sysco. I don’t mind the workout part at all. I need it after sitting on my butt the past 10 years.
     
    Longarm Thanks this.

    Same place. Great Lakes is Hamerick owned. It's that dudes sister I think. They had a falling out so she started her own mill.
