Bigrig-

I'll be finishing up with my second year shortly. You don't make a lot of head way going to school part time. I was looking last night at Roehl and it looks like a good program. From all of the other posts on here, it seems like any company has their ups and downs. I like the fact that I wouldn't be without a paycheck for 2-3 months. Granted, I'm sure what you make during training is tiny, but any little bit helps.

So far, no one has posted their thoughts if going through a company is a good idea or not. I would be interested to hear as well what you guys thought. I also heard that Schneider has a good program, but all I remember growing up while on the road with my dad was how crappy that company as a whole was. Anyone out there have some other advise or heard otherwise?

I like the idea mentioned before of getting paid to learn...that's the way it should be too bad that won't ever happen. From what I have read on here there is a lot of good to be said about Roehl, I know they aren't perfect no company is, but they seem to have a lot more good said about them then bad, especially compared to other companies. I agree I like the idea of 3 week training. Reading through their stuff it looks like at the most it would be 8 weeks until full mileage pay kicks in so that isn't too bad, plus you are getting paid for the first 2 evolutions. So really if I understand right you only go unpaid throught the training which is only 3 weeks. Sound kinda nice.
