    I'm considering going to Roehl after a refresher course at trucking school. I live in NC near Burlington; how are the miles & pay starting out at Roehl:
    how good is home time
    Do they tend to micromanage you

    The Roehl section of ttr is huge. All the info you need is already here somewhere. Just search the forum. I ran for Roehl for 3 years. Good company.

    Anywhere from 2200/2800 is average. My average paycheck was right around 550.00. Decent place to start, great training. I just couldn't make enought money or miles, and the micro managing drove me up a wall

    Thank you for the info provided T-Trucker. I am starting Roehl school the first full week of January 2015. The school has arranged for me to do a designated route and told me I would make $900 a week. However, nothing in writing, and now, I am concerned there was some smoke going, well you know. I was told .32 cpm. Is this out there and unrealistic. It sounds like it is.

    .32 cpm? Wow that is what I was being paid starting as a new driver 10 years ago with them. Thought they might have come up a bit in starting pay.

    10 years ago that was the starting rate? Wow, that really is not good, as cost of absolutely everything is significantly higher then 10 years ago. That's too bad. I'll keep my eyes open, do my job and do it with gusto and a smile, but . . .

    I just sent my paperwork in and should meet you in WI for RTDC in JAN15. There may be accessorial pays you're not factoring in plus $.32x 2500 (around the average) gets you to $800 right there.
