Got my ROEHL pre-hire letter today!!

Just wondering Rich so training is broken up into 2 two week stints? So you have 2 different trainers? Did they tell you how many miles you can expect to drive a day while in training?

 

What did the road test consist of? Is there a lot of backing? I'm going to a tech school and we have a lot of students and it's hard to get a lot of backing practice in. Is anyone sent home from orientation for their skills? or LACK of?? Thanks for keeping us up-to-date - please continue - and I hope everything keeps going well for you.

 

I can't wait until I go to orientation, everytime I here someones experiances in orientation or on the road with Roehl it makes me want to get there sooner. Sounds like I picked a good company along with all you other guys on these forums that have just hired on or are going with Roehl soon.

 

I just got a day at home to spend before i go out again with trainer. i have lots of post so i will try to adress all in one. On my first day of orientation we had a test on hazmat. It is just on knowledge. Roehl doesnt require a hazmat endorsement. after that wedid a pre trip inspection then went on a road test.we did some left turns,right turns, go on the interstate for a short drive. then when you get back to the yard you will back truck in to a spot. You will love the people that work there. you will get a date and time when you will go out with trainer. The miles you drive all depends on where you are going. You will drive for alot of the time but of course the trainer wil drive also. they do this so you dont use up all your time being able to drive. also you have to build up stamina for driving long hours. It was a great experience.

 

Anyone know how the teams for Roehl are doing? Such as how many miles they average a week? Thanks

 

I hope to be in that same boat in the near future.
How much did you have to spend? (total expenses for the trip)
Congratulations on a job well done!

 

Hey Keith48,
How did you and your trainers work out eating. Did you eat out every meal, or did you bring food with you? If you ate out, what did you spend on average per day?

Thanks, I go to Orrientation on the 6th in Ellenwood.

Congratulations! And thanks for sharing your experiences. (and don't forget to save all the receipts for taxes! I wonder if we can get our significant others to okay satellite radio as a necessity???

Again, well done! and (when you have time!) please update on your experiences.
