    Anyone know if Dayton hires new cdl A holders? I have about 2 years of class B with hazmat tanker experience, heard they have class B straight trucks which I wouldn't be against driving for a little. I called and the lady had no idea about class A experience. Any help is appreciated thanks. Also anyone know pay scale in ohio?

    Supposedly, they want a minimum of 1 year experience. I assume that would mean 1 year of CDL-A experience if that is what you would be applying for. My terminal is around the same size (although probably a bit busier) and we only have 2 CDL-B straight trucks. They often use them for a dock-to-driver program, but not always. My point is that it is probably difficult to hire in off the street into a straight truck position, although you are in a good position since you have hazmat. There would just have to be an opening, but I can tell you that nobody typically wants to leave this job. The ideal situation would be if a class B driver got their class A and completed their training program. If I were you, I'd apply regardless. It is a great place to work, and you could always get lucky.

    Thanks I am going to apply once I start the upgrade course I'm taking. Heard good things from here about them. They have a job opening in Akron hopefully it will still be open
