I start with Roehl 07/06/09... any help or tips

We don't pull tankers, doubles, or triples, and not a lot of hazmat, but getting those endorsements is a good idea.

 

Yall pull alot of reefers outa the southeast headed west? How are the miles if ya go regional? Sorry for all the newbie ???? Im just trying to figure where to get in.
Thanks___B.L.

 

Reefer seems to be mostly a Wisconsin thing at this company.

 

Roehl was real proud of their refeer division. Kept telling us how they acquired new freight lanes and more loads. They recently brought out another company which supposedly meant more miles. Well truth is drivers are still waiting for these lanes to materialize. (talk to drivers who still work there) plus driving on these roads one will notice that there are very few Roehl trucks on the road. Now every Roehl driver can't be taking their breaks at the same time so where are the trucks and Roehl loads. They must be only in Wisconsin because they sure are not much other places.

 

Anyone have any suggestions for a man lookin to start his truckin career with Roehl?

 

yes, call Roehl.

 

Call Schnieder....

 

Roehl will not keep commitments they make to you ...... good luck to all

 

grc56_tn, your still with them right?

 

Wow, what happened ? Im sorry to hear they couldnt get u home when u wanted if thats what happened. Was it due to poor logistics getting you home , ( no loads going the way u need to go) if thats the cause its happening more than ever due to mild freight. I have been in that situation several times and understand your frustration. I just got back from being out 7days. yeah it sucked, 1800 miles in 7 days , sat at two different shippers waiting to get loaded for a total of 12 hours claimed detention for 7.
At least you are getting good miles, and your not sitting to much.
I hope things get better for you and you can get every thing at home takin care of. Good luck and be safe!
