    Hey everyone,

    I finally finished my applications last week to both companies and was curious which company would be my best option in terms of time on finishing and where im located. I live close to memphis, tn so the closest option would be with prime but i hear that the roehl training programs is one of the top training programs.

    Another question is how long does it take before you hear word from prime whether or not they are going to take you on or not? I got a traffic report in the other day from the state stating that prime has requested my driving record.

    I second that.
    Not because I have personal experience working for them...but because the school I refreshed at 2 years ago actually used their training documents in many areas. Someone at Roehl REALLY is anal retentive about training and safety. If you are going to work for one of the companies for your training, shouldn't it be good training and not some "#### through a goose" good ole boy school where the instructor is more interested in looking at booty than training you properly?
    BTW, you know it is "RAIL" not "ROLL" right? Some in the company are very picky about that.

    I really like Roehl, from what I have found they are great, it would be nice if they were on west coast I would definitely consider them.

    Try this: http://www.goroehl.com/inexperiencedDriver/app/fleets.aspx

    Make sure you go to "Find Fleets" at this page on their site.....then put in your zip code and then try zip codes for any large cities near you.

    Also, call Roehl and ask for Bethann (I hope that's the right name) in recruiting. She was very helpful to me even though she couldn't get me in Roehl's school.
