Anyone have any questions for a ROEHL trainer?

Thats very surprising because I've never heard of any van driver going to the west. In my time I never got close, and I've talked to plenty of drivers with some time under they're belt and they've never been either...

 

I was national and stayed out 4 weeks at a time. I know flatbed goes out every now and then, but I haven't ever met one driver that has been to all 48 with Roehl.

 

I've been wanting to get back into otr now for about 3 yrs. No wife , daughters grown going to college .
I was raised in and around trucking . My father , grandfather , and all of my uncles owned and drove otr.
I've worked on them and around them till my wife put my rambling fire out at the age of 22 I am now 49.
Went into construction . Where its not really gratifying anymore , to many variables ( labor , matrial costs , economy)
Traveling is what i really miss , heck i even miss gettig a lil greasy the smell and shinin chrome . Been researching and really needing a good source to obtain cdl and a good company to start with .....any suggestions would help....thanks

 

Where do you live? And how long since you last drove?

 

Maryville Tn. Last drove in 89 and 90 . I know a lot has changed , and would be a newbie for a few yrs . My goal is to finish what my dad could not . Become an indepent o/o .

 

I'm on my way out with Roehl, but I do not hesitate to recommend them to someone new, or getting back in after a long hiatus. Good company overall. After some experience, they tend to be tedious, and micromanagy. But certainly not the worst, by far. If things didn't work out where I'm going, I'd come back.

 

I was talking to the other guy who wrote the post after you lol it's all good though. I was with Roehl for 7 months. In the beginning all was great but it slowly got worse and worse and I was only averaging 2000-2200 miles a week with very small paychecks, and I was national stayed out 4 weeks everytime
