    Roush supplies drivers and logistical support for the DTNA (formerly Freightliner) test fleet in Portland, OR.

    Job functions include basic daily paperwork, some minor vehicle inspections (outlined per specific test) and driving a route specified by Daimler or Detroit Diesel Engineers. Mileage depends on route (AVG 450), Home each night.

    It is required that drivers do not discuss or post details of the trucks or the tests performed on public forums such as this one. No camera use is allowed on site.

    Applicants must pass Roush/DTNA screening standards including approval on:

    MVR
    Drug Screen
    Background check
    Roush drive test

    should have doubles/lowboy.

    What are the residency requirements? Can a driver from the east coast sign on and come get a rig, then remotely report in? I would think with a cell link and a laptop a driver could go anywhere. For the really remote portions of the country use a sat uplink.

    Either way, this sounds like a really cool job. Is it permanent or per release of a "new" truck line-up?

    Does the "testing" of these new trucks involve hauling dummy loads or live freight? How often do the tractors need to go back to "base"?

    I'll send an email along to you aside from the forum.

    Like the title says, if you don't care about being treated like a decent human being, then Roush is the place for you! Roush will not pay the drivers overtime, holiday or vacation pay, however if you work in the office then you will get the overtime, holiday, and vacation pay!!!
    Yes all you do is haul test loads, there is no deliveries to make and all you do is drive in really big circles. If you do want to work for them just remember this.... you will have to work the graveyard shift from 7:30pm to 7:30am!!!!
    Roush treats their drivers like crap or pond scum or whatever you want to call it!
    Good Luck with your career decisions!!!
