24yo no-lifer, need company / newbie advice.

Gotta start somewhere. If you're not super Christian, I'd avise staying away from any company that markets themselves as such. Either they're telling the truth or they're liars, but it really doesn't matter which if neither are appealing to you.

Good luck!!! Keep us updated

 

Doesn't Roehl have really flexible home time schedules and a flatbed division?

I know at Prime hometime was a joke. I'd stay out 3 months and get grief for wanting to take 4 days off. Because of how dispatch would work it, that 4 days would really amount to about 60-75 hours off. Taking more than "4 days" no matter how long you had been out meant going to Sprimo and turning the truck in for someone else to drive and finding a way back home. Or camping with the local methbillies of Misery.

I don't think there are any companies that will allow 1 continuous month off a year? Even good companies I've been at limited you to 5 days consecutive. Of course FMLA is a thing. Just work 6 months somewhere and get a girl pregnant every 3 months. Plenty of time off then.

 

I wanted to check in on this since it’s been a couple months. Which company did you choose, and how has your experience been?

 

This is true! I’m a firm believer in Jesus Christ as well, but I kinda get bad vibes from a company that tries to use Christianity as a way to solicit drivers.

 

Good writeup and information on the company; keep us updated!
