    the hardest one will be carrying 60lbs from the back of the trailer to the front. Just be sure and take your time and breathe don't hold your breathe. I smoke as well and I did very well. There just making sure you don't have a heart attack while doing stuff lol.

    WELL I WAS STUCK IN THE WEST COAST ON THE DEC.23RD NOT LOOKING LIKE I WAS GONNA MAKE IT HOME FOR CHRISTMAS. ROEHL PROMISED ME A WEEK PRIOR THAT I WOULD BE HOME WITH MY FAMILY. THEY KEPT THEIR WORD... THEY HAD ME DRIVE FROM OREGON TO UTAH AND FROM THERE PARKED MY TRUCK AT A CUSTOMER. THEY GOT ME A TAXI TO THE AIRPORT AND FLEW ME HOME. ITS WAS A ROUGH FLIGHT BUT I'M HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS, LIKE THEY PROMISED I WOULD. THANKS KICIA AND JIM FOR EVERYTHING. BECAUSE OF YOU I WAS ABLE TO BE WITH MY WIFE AND KIDS. MERRY CHRISTMAS!:biggrin_25514:AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

    It seems Roehl's training is quite rigerous. Lots of tests both written and driving.

    They want to make sure you are the best you can be before they put you on the road.

    When you look at Roehls length of training compared to most trucking companies it is quite short. You normaly spend 22-30 days with a trainer. Most companies a at least 2 months.

    Thanks so much Smiley! I'm heading out from Tennessee Saturday to begin training on Monday, so the information is comforting. Wish I'd revisited the board sooner :)
    I guess you're close to being on your own now so, best of luck! And thanks again.
