Cheeseman Trucking, Fort Recovery, Ohio

One you don't have to go to NYC
Two your profile says you live in Greenville Oh you could work local or regional be home every day or ever other if running regional.

 

Think I would rather deliver in Brooklyn than LI...one can run out a clock on the LIE and have almost nowhere to park.

 

We have two customers you can park at on Long Island. One is actually pretty quiet and private too.

 

Thanks and that said I do know a spot near Farmingdale that I used to park on on an old dedicated run I used to do
Would be very interested if they had any true dedicated or local/night runs..

 

You won't get dedicated/local as a new hire but you should be able to make it out and back some days or at worst sleep in your truck 1 night. There is lots of work to do within 200 miles of Fort Recovery and still make it back for the night. Dedicated/shuttle is seniority based and they have too many local drivers as it is now.

 

Sent you a message.

 

Not much new to report, running as hard as I can, will look good on this year's W2 when I build a house next year.

Small example of how they take care of drivers, I tried to work last weekend, usually that means a 2 or 3 day run to TX. Ended up on a run from SC to IN, picked up Friday night and delivered Monday morning, thought I'd spend Sunday at the Petro in Richmond, IN. Dispatch sent me a message in Knoxville asking if I wanted a load, I asked if I could drop this load at Fort Recovery and take something home, they said sure. Ended up making it home Sunday afternoon for a short "weekend" break with a good load to start the week on Tuesday morning.

Lost track of how many miles I ran last week but it was over 3000, made around $1400.

 

I went through CR England school and lasted 4 months with them. Took a regular job for 6 months while my contract expired. Had offers from US Xpress, Schneider, and Cheeseman. I decided on Cheeseman. Chris is having me do an abbreviated apprentice program to start. I think I made the right choice especially since the terminal is 7 miles from my house.

 

US Xpress and Schneider don't belong in the same sentence as Cheeseman. Cheeseman is not a traditional OTR company. Work hard, do what they ask and you will be treated well and home often. You made the right choice.

 

3000 miles and $1400 this week. short weekend but I'm running as hard as I can until Christmas.
