I'm in Ohio and was wondering if anyone could be of any help. I am looking to work as a drivers helpers but have not had much success I put an application at Rumpke(in my region) it's been about 8-10 weeks and the residential drivers helpers position has not been filled(still on the site)Have called a few times but sort of been getting the run around. Although everyone has been nice who I have talked to.
I had 2 interviews with kimble(also in my region) as a line sorter(rather be a drivers helper-they hardly use drivers helpers because of the automatic pickup) I had 2 interviews. Was told I got it after the 2nd interview they sent me a letter that another applicant had gotten it.
I have looked at republic but they hardly have openings for drivers helpers and although haven't looked into waste management that much they don't seem to hire a lot of drivers helpers. The automatic pickup has taken over this position somewhat but NOT totally.
Have looked into local suburbs where I live a lot still use manual labor for waste pickup but most positions are taken already. Any suggestions. Tips/ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!!
Thanks again
Justin

I'm about to head out the door. So I quickly looked at your company. Nice. Will look more later. Don't know much about the asphalt industry.
I am a little familiar with Mansfield/Ashland area. Have gone skiing at snow trails. And have gone done that way for various events.
One thing I noticed about the Mansfield area is Rumpke seems to be doing a lot of hiring in that area. Just curious but do you know if they have expanded in that area??
I'm 36. For the last 5 years I had a dog waste removal company(it's just like it sounds
I owned it. I did okay but it was a one a man operation I serviced for counties. Lake, cuyahoga, summit and geauga. But it became too much and the winters hurt business. And I wasn't trusting enough to hire other people. Maybe foolish Not to do that on my part.
I have an online eBay retail store I do okay with it but it's just not enough. Thanks for the reply. I just got on the board so will explore more when I have time. Thanks bro!!

Not a problem, Justin. You're totally welcome
I know what you mean, there's so much "ugly" in this world anymore. Me and @TROOPER to TRUCKER try to avoid the negativity that's thrown around here and elsewhere, and keep it real. (So do many other members; don't get me wrong. We just make it our mantra!)
Antoher really good (and small-ish) Ohio Trucking company you may want to look into is Fab Express. They have a few different terminals, all mainly in Ohio, but headquartered in Chicago. They're are an Italian family-owned business, and my wife knows some of them personally here in Mt. Vernon. Not a lot of reviews on ANY forums about them (we've looked) but hey, that's usually a GOOD thing! LoL
They are single-screw daycabs; no OTR (that I know of) and haul 53' dry vans with corrugated (boxes) to Heinz, Smuckers, etc... all over the state. Napoleon, Fremont, Cincy, off the top of my head. If I were to leave tanking, I'd be "in like Flynn" for sure. (And weight usually / never becomes an issue with that type of freight.)
Good luck; keep me posted!

ps: If that were to work out into anything for ya, leme know!~ I'll give you some names
