    From who? Did you try any of them companies that I PM'd you?

    He could try SYSCO. They have a big warehouse in Harmony, PA just south of him plus they are hiring. WALK IN and apply, don't call! Other then that, the only other places around that he might have a chance at would be Pepsi over in Youngstown. Really no other major food places or for that matter, local places around him. A ton of flatbed companies though have yards just north of him.

    Have you checked out advanced waste down on sampson st (i think)? I know they have some trucks because I've hauled waste water into there before.
