Confirm The Seat Fits.
A city page describes the practical home-base fit, not a promise that every Lakeville seat is open in every location. Before you make a decision, recruiting will confirm the current lane, where your equipment is based, the expected schedule, and whether your parking plan works for the available position.
Buffalo is approximately 75 miles from the Rochester terminal and is evaluated as part of the Western NY recruiting area.
Current openings may align with the Rochester ↔ Buffalo corridor; recruiting verifies the actual assignment before hire.
Ask where the truck is staged, how often the assigned lane returns through Buffalo, and whether terminal parking or an approved local parking location applies.
