Roehl the inside scoop from orientation to training to driver

Ethan.
Did you go to NTI for school in Jacksonville Florida. And if you did, were you there for the open house on Sept. 15 2012 with your truck. Thanks

 

Yeah I went there. And I believe I was there on that date. I had my silver prostar with a tarped lumber load.

I like that screen name by the way

They do NOT want you to retire from there when they pay student drivers 200-300 more per week gross than experienced people. Office trolls are NOT supposed to be in here lying to drivers.

 

Im looking a several OTR companies and Roehl is one of them..

Hows the home time?
Do they run all 48?
Are the rigs ancient?
What are the rigs govern too?

Thanks in advance!

 

Who's an office troll?

Hometime is on a sliding scale.
11 days out 2 off
12 out 3 off
18 out 4 off
24 out 5 off
30 out 6 off
36 out 7 off


They run all 48 and Canada

We have a few 2007's with apus. Most of our fleet is 2012+ prostars and cascadias

Governed to 61 on cruise and 64 foot to the floor.

Yep, i was in school then. I signed with Roehl and they said. Nov 19 was the earliest they could get me in for van and that at Ellenwood Ga. I cant believe i found this site and you. Too cool.

 

Heck yeah man. Its pretty cool. Yeah I had to wait two weeks after I graduated to get into orientation. Its worth it though.

I did speak to you and checked out your ride...nice. What's the deal with some trucks having camera's. Recruiter said about 4% of trucks have them. Do they put new drivers in them. Not sure I like that. do all the trucks have APU's or EPU's? Also, tell me about the idle time. Can you stay warm or cool or do you have to shut down most of the time. Dude I got a ton of questions but I'll stop here. Thanks

 

The cameras are in trucks for people who have a lot of critical events like hard brakes.

I wouldn't worry about getting one. Chances are slim.

Most of the 07's have apus. All the new trucks have epus. Prostars have an auto start feature. Mine starts up when batteries get low and idles at 1k rpm to recharge batteries. I've never had anything said to me about my idle time even when it was 50% once. The truck has an auto shut off idle timer, so it will only continue idling if its above 98° or so or below 35° I believe.


Feel free to ask the questions man. Either on here or in a pm. I'll answer best I can.

Cool thanks. So idle time only between certain temps? Also their is a 2 wk waiting period? That waiting period will be rough, kinda starting to get behind the 8-ball.
