    I had a friend who drove for them some time ago, he said it was okay. Lots of shorter hauls and waiting at customers which is what tends to happen hauling reefers. He was in northeast Ohio so lots of Sugardale meats loads. Any other questions pm me.

    I used to see some CE drivers in Botkins at Agrana, at Meijer in Tipp City, and numerous other places in Northwest Ohio. The ones I met seemed pretty happy and acted like professionals. @LakeLife80 is probably right about the short hauls and long waits, though. But don't worry about being too picky getting started, and don't get down about that suspension deal. I happen to know for a fact that a suspension of that nature is not a big deal for all companies. Good luck!

    If you attend a private cdl school, look at Nick Strimbu, Inc. in Ohio. They hire new cdl grads and have tuition reimbursement. They're also Teamsters Union which means you're vested for a pension after 5 years.

    A new cdl grad in Indiana hired on with Britton Transport recently and is making over a thousand a week. Add that one to your list.

    WIOA Program is for people that are either unemployed or under-employed. Most minimum wage jobs qualify for that. Google : WIOA Program Ohio
