Just to add some info for your search. My wife and I are currently attending Napier truck driving school in Hamilton (just NW of Cincinnati). There are recruiters at the school every day from different companies - many I had not heard of in my research prior to going to school. So far a lot of these companies are "local" and by that I mean within 100 miles or so of here. They are hiring graduates of the school and a lot of the companies are touting that you get home on the weekends, and sometimes additionally more than that. I guess my point is that there are a lot of companies out there that might fit what you are looking for and be in your "area." However I would not have known about them unless I had attended this school. Look into local schools (private, community colleges, etc.) and see what their "job placement" arena is like - do they get a lot of recruiters through the school, what are their connections with trucking companies like, etc. If you would like to know about some of the companies we have heard presentations from, let me know. Also, remember that the recruiter's job is to get a body in a seat so you will need to do more specific research with a company that sounds like it might fit you from the first look. I hope this helped. Go Buckeyes! lol
