ROEHL BOUND... June 14th... Relief and excitement!

Hey everybody, I guess this is the place to come for current Roehl training info. Well, so far they've accepted my app, I'm approved for financing, they've approved my MVR, and last I heard they are currently verifying my employment. I'm surprised I've even made it this far with my recent luck in job hunting! IIRC, I believe she told me that I will be getting a physical next, then I need to get my learners permit? Anyone know how long this next process will take? At least getting the physical scheduled, it shouldn't take me long to get my permit as I'm a bus driver right now and still have my WI CDL manual and still read some every now and then.

It sounds like classes are filling up pretty fast, and I was told last week that the next available date would be the week of 7/6. I'm not sure if all this will be completed by then, but the sooner the better. Thanks for the heads up on the exercise tests, looks like I'll start getting in some practice starting immediately. Not that I'm extremely concerned, but I'm a pretty big dude. I was exercising (as in weight lifting), up until probably 2 months ago so it probably won't take too long to get my body used to it again. Once again, thanks for all the valuable info, maybe I'll see some of you up there in a few weeks if I can get through this process quick enough.

 

Passed the DOT got my permit. Ready for class. Waiting to hear the "offical" start, but it looks like July 6th. Sooner if God will's, I know I am ready.

 

Thanks!!!!

I took an eye exam to get my permit. I almost failed because my right eye was having a spasm. Do I have to get my vision retested when I go from permit to full CDL A? And same question for when you transfer from WI CDL to your local state? Thanks.

 

yes and yes

 

Do you mind asking one of your instructors tomorrow if you have to retake the eye exam when we get our CDL in WI? It turns out I need a new perscription, but want to wait until I have insurance.

I thought we got our CDL in WI, then transfer it to our home state. Is this true? I really appreciate you asking about the eye exam. Thanks.

 

yes you have to do the eye thing "look into the box" b4 they issue the cdl... and im sure your state will too... WI makes you do the eye test to change your address

 

Pickens, you will need your CDL A permit in hand before you even get to Marshfield. After you test out for your actual CDL A license, you will then take you completed test paper work home and transfer that permit into the hard copy real deal license.
