I'm hoping somebody here has some details on Roehl's 21/7 option. I've been looking over this site and Roehl's website, and it looks like 21/7 must be a relatively new option at Roehl. I'm finishing up CDL school soon, and they told me at school that Roehl had this option to go OTR for 21 days, and back home for 7. The surprising thing is that they would fly me up to a terminal in the Midwest to start the 21 days on, then back home again to FL for the 7 days off. It is the only job option offered on their website for my section (and much of) Florida.
Anybody doing this, or know details about it? I'm wondering what terminals are involved, travel details, etc.? I like the 21/7 schedule, but the devil could be in the details . . .
I'm also wondering for these national fleet slip-seat trucks, how are they equipped? Inverters? Fridges? (I know, probably wishful thinking!) Would they typically have any storage facilities at the terminal for my road gear when I'm away on my home time?
Haven't talked to a recruiter yet, but probably will soon.
Thanks!

I hope you plan on pulling reefers, and even with those it is sometimes very, very hard to get freight out of Florida from July through early October. -
It's not freight in and out of FL; it's the driver! They would be flying me in and out of Fl, to a midwest terminal at the start and finish of the 21-day shift. The truck would obviously stay at the midwest terminal for my off-time.

I have never heard of a company flying you back and forth home on your off time.Double check on that info before you decide. Something does not sound right.

Roehl paying to fly someone back and forth from home to work? Ya right. They might fly you to orientation one time. But every time you go to work and back home? They are about as cheap as they come. You have to fight to get detention time, parking, and some tolls paid. Now they are limiting inverter time and making drivers avoid toll roads to save a little money even though it costs the driver time and money.

This is from the job description on the roehl.jobs website.
"When you join this fleet, you'll be flown to one of our terminals in the Midwest, where you'll drive for three weeks and then you'll be flown back for your week of home time. We will pay for your flights, baggage fees and transportation to and from the airport in the Midwest."
If you go there and put in a Florida zip code (I used one for Orlando) this job choice comes up.Hornswoggled Thanks this.
