    Please keep on updating your progress and all the information will be very handy for many who will be attending Roehl's orientation. I'm scheduled for orientation on January 26, 2015. Me and a classmate from our school are heading up on the 25th. Roehl is providing us with a rental car. :smt023

    Roehl offered to help me with hotel cost if everything checks out for me..... Part of me is thinking "too good to be true".....

    When you say hotel costs, what exactly do you mean? You mean hotel costs while traveling to orientation?

    Just make it to a year, it's all you have to do. The first couple weeks will be the hardest, you will be home sick. Don't get too upset when they send you outside of your region, at least that will mean you are getting miles. Don't take it out on them when they make you stay out a little longer than you should, they will give you extra time off in return. So, if you stay out for 9 days instead of 5-7 days, it will most likely give you 3 days off, instead of the normal 2.. They were fair to me, I just hated OTR.

    Congratulations on hitting the one year mark, that's great.
    Apart from being away from home, what did you hate about OTR?

    No, Hotel cost for the room while I am in the classes, so that's why I am a bit skeptical.
    I talked to Kim about attending the school since the Workplace Improvement Act [WIA] said that they couldn't assist with any funding for me.....
    After I managed to get the permit, HazMat and all the other endorsements secured, they declined funding for classroom :biggrin_25510:
    It really bites that there are people that want into this industry but have so many barriers to climb, only to be kicked in the face by those they ask for help from..... sheesh.
    I'm hoping I receive positive news soon...... Cant wait to hit the road :biggrin_25515:

    Hello guys..

    Figured I give an update.

    I flew out of PVD airport in RI 8AM this morning, took a connection to NC. From there I took a flight to Chicago and am currently waiting on my flight (delayed 1.5 hrs so far) and from here am flying to Marshfield, WI.

    I will update shortly with more details :)
