    So I'll have my CDL in a couple weeks. I'm in the Ohio area and looking for the right Carrier for me. I've researched allot of companies reviews, read allot of forums, and talked to quite a few recruiters as well. I just think they're like car salesmens and tell me what i like to hear and the reviews are so scattered throughout the country that it's hard to tell what to believe for them in my neck of the woods at least. The ones i was considering so far were NTB Trucking and US Xpress. Any advice for recent CDL graduates in the Dayton OH area?

    They are head quarter in Michigan there a sleeper cab 53' dry van general freight commodities hauler.

    They used to haul a lot of loads for Target. Used to see them pulling Target trailers, all the time, but haven't seen them pulling Target trailers lately. There contract must be up. But there still around.

    Yeah a recruiter came into school a week ago and said they have a Meijer account now based in tipp city. Said i could make 48k to 52k my first year there but didn't know if that was achievable or just pulling my leg on the amount.

    Thats a high side for a first year, but not undoable for a dedicated driver.

    Pontimaniac... Curious if you're who I think you might be. Did you live in NC when you were younger?

    NTB is the better option. I've delivered to Meijer distribution centers and NTB is a major carrier for them.
