Looking for something better

I don't know about your circumstances. But you've got options when it comes to getting what you want.

 

I figured it had to be Simplot. Better then lam westen

 

You have to call Charlotte. Charlotte is their recruiter and she is very helpful. Though their website has a lack of info she can help you. And they have trucks in Ohio so you should be able to get on. You would have to make a trip to Jacksonville though because that is the only place they do orientation. They offer car rentals and or bus tickets to get there.

They run as far north as PA and as west as Houston Texas. Mostly stay on the southeast.

Also If you want more info I made a thread about them while I was there.

 

They are a smaller company about 500 or less trucks. Two guys on YouTube make videos about them Matt "littleguytrucker" and TrainerJames. Also filled with information for you to make your decision.

 

Why not try local LTL. Being where Fairborn is in Ohio. You should be able to get local work EASILY. Then again, you likely wont be able to have the better half with you on a local route. And most OTR companies are going to make wait a period of time before she can go with. To make sure you're not going to jump ship, before that. You need to earn their trust and respect first.
