Osborn Transportation Out Of Gadsden AL ( Part Of Celadon)
Topic 9207 | Page 1
I can't find their snapshot by name at the FMCSA site. The only Osborn listed in Gadsden, AL is a private company. From the looks of it they haul their own meat. Might they be headquartered somewhere else?

Osborn Transportation Is owned by Celadon. They have a Honda account for the plant in Lincon Al. This account is given to local drivers and most are home every night, average 2700-3000 miles a week. Freightliner Cascadeia's (auto) and International Prostars governed to 62mph.
I just got my cdl and am driving with my trainer at the moment. He is on the Honda dedicated routes. He seems to like it. I will be doing southeast regional when finished. (General freight) I will try to update when I have more information. The word around the camp fire is that most drivers are happy here. But like I said I have not had any experience on the general freight side. The honda routes are hard to get unless you have been working for them for awhile.
Experienced drivers start at .34cpm with one cent per mile raise every year.
