    Hi everyone.

    I start orientation with Roehl starting the week of January 26, 2015. Anyone else starting on that day? Me and a class mate from our local college are signed up for the same orientation class. Roehl has arranged a rental car for us to head up there the day before. He is going with the Elwood fleet and I'm tentatively signed with the refrigerated national division, though I'm on the list for the Kraft dedicated account.

    As Rivas did in another thread, I plan to post updates and give out as much information that I'm allowed. Also try to answer as many questions as I continue through my Roehl experience. I'm a 40 year old career changer doing this for my family, but more importantly for me as well.

    Thanks!!

    Pay attention. Know all company rules and understand them. The may or may not give you a company policy book. If they do read it and understand it. Good luck.

    Let's hope not. They are a decent company to get some experience with but after that find you an outfit that will pay you better.

    Hi everyone.

    Got word today from Roehl regarding orientation location. It's Appleton. Anyone have any insight on this terminal location? Staying at the Comfort Suites on W. Wisconsin Ave.

    Rental car is set for pick-up Sunday morning.

    On County road BB across from the little local airport. Newest facility (except for the Gary expansion). Has bunk rooms, drivers lounge, showers, laundry, dispatch, shop, company car. Nice spot.
     
    ChrisL Thanks this.

    Thank you for the information TexasPhoenix. Sounds like a pretty nice place. I've done a little research via Google Maps. Does look to be fairly new location.

    Nice and quiet. Not by railroad tracks like Gary and Ellenwood. Small airport is just a regional with smaller planes and not much night time plane traffic. Never stayed in bunk rooms as I preferred my truck.
