My personal Roehl experience!

You'll probably come to Marshfield when the time comes.

Good luck with all that man. Its like a 5 week course I think (at least is what I thought I heard today) and they get you rolling. You will have to drive for Roehl for a year to repay, but that is not even bad.

 

Just got back to the hotel about an hour ago.

Today was pretty fun.

Simulator, pre-trip, driving around the yard and practicing their "progressive shifting" technique.

A bit cold outside, but all in all a good day.

Tomorrow will be -45° windshield sensation.

So far i've learned that Roehl does respect their employees and is very serious about responsabilities.

Nothing negative si far.

I will keep updating.

If any questions, fire away!!

 

Sorry for not updating the last couple of days, guys.

It has been a great experience so far. We have been doing lots of driving around town and around the yard the last couple of days.

I was just told today that (unless I #### up tomorrow, lol) they will hire me Monday morning.

Mapping, pretrips, pre-planning and going over the "Roehl's safe seven) its what we spent the days doing pretty much.

Today took a quiz on a short video regarding haz-mat. Nothing complicated at all.

Tomorrow will be going through Roehl's employee portal and qualcomm.

Monday will start Phase 2. Hopefuly meeting my trainer monday evening or tuesday and away we'll go!!

 

Pregressive shifting is nothing but learning and practicing the skill of shifting from 2nd to 4th without giving it any fuel and also the right rpm into where the transmission will shift without over-revving (for fuel economy this is).

It is really easy since you learn it, you practice it in the simulator first and then on the actual truck.

Its very smooth shifting and it takes the "rocking the truck" away while shifting.

Roehl its a good company for what I have noticed so far.

 

I'll be here when you get here then =)
