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

Yeah I saw the volvo leave a few days after you dropped it off.

 

During your home time, do you ever have to take a trailer home or is it almost always bobtail?

 

Got my acceptance into TD school today, 4 weeks of training starting Nov 1 at a local community college. (well, a little more than 4 weeks because of the holidays.) Roehl is on my short list of preferred, along with KLLM and Conway with pre-pre hire emails from those three. Hopefully will get some real prehires further along in training, also have a few backup carriers in mind.

I also got a call from an RV transporter in Indiana. I have a cousin that works for them and he gave them my name. It seems like there is a shortage of RV delivery drivers at this moment in time. Pay sucks, don't see how anyone can do that, but I thought the call was interesting anyway.

 

Very seldom would it be bobtail. Lots of times u will take a load thru ur hometime. If ur not loaded,u would want an empty trailer so u could go straight out to get a load. Being bobtail at home is kinda of a pain. U gotta go find an empty,and alot of shippers don't like it when u bobtail in. Roehl really is against being bobtail unless there is no other option.

 

Thanks for the info. Y'all are bein a great help. I've got my sites set on wantin to go to RDTC. Been following all these posts on Roehl and love what I'm hearin. Just gotta get some funds saved up. Do you absolutely need your passport before goin up there? Also, does anyone know if Ohio will take 3rd party cdl test scores or will I have to retake my cdl for Ohio?

 

Awesome. Thanks y'all. Got another question though. (Hate bein THAT Guy that always asks too many questions). When you get assigned your truck, what equipment does it come with (CB, fridge, inverter, etc.)

 

None of those unless you get a truck with an APU then you would have an inverter.
