Relocating to Toledo, OH for Trucking Jobs

I completely understand that a local gig will be tough to get and I am fully prepared to go over the road or do regional work. My goal is to get on with a company that has a terminal located in either Southern IL or NW Ohio. I may be wrong, but I figure that if I live near my home terminal, my chances of getting home for the occasional 10 or 34 hour break might be better. Also, if my truck needs maintenance and I live near the shop, again, I might get a chance to see my wife and baby a bit more often, even if it is only for a couple of hours or so. In Illinois, Henderson and Marvin Keller have terminals within an hour of my home, as does Conway freight, but they aren't hiring at the moment. Star runs through the area frequently, as well.

If my thinking is faulty in this, please correct me.

 

Garner is a company I have looked at since I first started this whole CDL process. I am very excited to get the opportunity to road test with them next week. Hopefully, if all goes well, I will start orientation the week after and life in Ohio will begin. My wife is very excited to be moving back home after 13 years in Illinois, and we all know that if she's happy, everyone is happy!

Being new to this, what can I expect for the road test? Is it like the road test for obtaining a CDL? More in depth? Less in depth? I talked to my school yesterday and they are letting come in and get back into the truck Thursday morning, just to reacquaint myself after a month of not driving.
