    I did for a very short short while. If you have questions about RDTC or going out with a trainer I can tell you all about that. Beyond that I quit and am currently looking at a couple of prospective companies.

    Hair follicle depends on length of hair. The longer the hair the farther back they can go. So if your worried cut your hair to the shortest they want. If your head hair isn't long enough they take armpit hair or chest hair. Shave your body and they will just send you home.

    They want at least an inch of hair.

    The FM I had while I was out with my trainer was Sandy and she is very nice as well as my trainer Robert. We were given miles while we were out and everything was pretty great, a few bumps in the roads at times but nothing major with dispatched assignments. RDTC was nice if your going there, although my trainer liked to fall asleep in the afternoons after lunch.

    I would think so but I don't really know about that stuff. The jobs I've had the last 20 years most have tested so other than pot in high school and a little just out of the military I've never done or tried anything else so never worried about it. Someone else with more knowledge would have to answer.

    The 2 hour limit is programmed in by Roehl and you can't use it while you're driving down the road...(unless you would happen to get an old truck with the Rig Master APU on it but I think those are all long gone). If by slow cooker you mean crock pot, I used to be able to run the one we had off of a 12volt inverter.

    I would love to know the rationale behind that decision! I can understand the time limit if you are running on battery, but no power when driving makes no sense to me.

    Running on a plug-in inverter isn't a good alternative, due to the ~150W limit. A PS3 or XBOX360 draws close to 200W, so you can't even watch a movie on them with such an inverter. (And don't get me started on the kluge connector you plug into the socket...)

    I didn't know if there was an answer to this question or not. I've read a few posts in the other company folders about sensors and anti-idling policies. Does Roehl have that as well? Roehl is first on my list to apply. The only holding me back so far is that I don't have a passport? Is that really necessary?
