life at Roehl ...grc

My dad gave me some advice many years ago that has helped a lot, "Always make decisions based on the climate, not the weather." Storms come and go, but if you don't like hot, humid weather Texas may not be the place to move to. There will always be conflicts when people are involved, but is the overall climate like? Make your decision based on that. Also the grass isn't always greener.

 

I finished orientation. Waiting for a trainer.

 

Well said, but I do believe the grass is always greener in the Lone Star state and if it is not you probably moved to Houston.

 

grc56 glad things got worked out for you, hope you were able to get your family moved and settled. have fun and be safe!

 

Hello grc, I have been watching your thread with interest since you started it. My interest in Roehl is the reason. I am 4 years older than you are and am jumping from concrete home construction to trucking. Freshly graduated from the Sun Prairie, WI CDL school and 50 applications out in WI.
My questions. Did you have to get a HAZMAT endorsement? I just got the fingerprints done in Madison on Saturday, so I am curious how long the background check takes.
Thanks for all the info you post.

Im here in WI too. I renewed my CDL and Hazmat and went to the fingerprint place a few days later.

Within 1 week (if that) my license came back to me and was all set.

..as long as they dont find something - the turn around time was about a week or 5-6 business days.

I then applied for a TWIC and was told 3-4 weeks. Took 1 week and it was ready for pickup.

...now waiting on the passport. 4-6 weeks was the estimate but I think I will see it in 2-3.

Congrats on your son's safe return home!

 

I believe all new hires with Roehl are required to have hazmat.
