New to Driving but Excited about the Opportunity

Back in 2007 I was looking for something with a future. I had just left a job after 28 years due to plant closure and being over 50 found that almost no one would even interview me for a job. I worked briefly for Lowes which was ok but at 7.28 an hour was quite a change from my old job. I then thought I would check on the Trucking Industry where money was better and being 50 meant nothing, thank you Trucking! It was this site that I came to looking for the best Trucking Company to go with. I choose Roehl which I never regretted. I left briefly for a local transportation job which I left after a year due to safety issues, I liked being home with my wife of 33 years but even she didn't like the odds of me being alive due to the equipment I had to drive. I am now back at Roehl being retrained and I am thinking possitive about the future with them, they are after all one of the Safest Companies on the road and I like my chances of getting back home alive! I also like their Home Time Plus Program. Hopefully over time I will be able to learn from the many experienced Drivers out there and share my experiences and help others.

 

I tried replaying a few days ago. I hope this gets to you. My first experience in 2007 was in the snow in Wisconsin. Wasn't bad until I drove at night on a two lane road, snow coming down, brief moments of seeing the marks of the road, and praying for another car approaching just so I knew the road was up ahead. That night at the Truck Stop I almost kissed the ground when I got out! I hope I see more of the sun this go around in the winter.HaHa

 

You too, hope to see you out there.
