My Roehl Experience!

I don't drink koolaid thank you and if I have a problem with the company I don't hesitate to say so. Sorry but so far it has been pretty good. Like I said We endured JB Hunt and NFI which sucked.

I haven't had to deal with the rider policy so I don't know what it is about it that you have a problem with.

I wish you didn't have to wait to be unloaded and have the receiver sign off on it before it can be trip scanned before 12 noon.

We have been getting miles and good pay. So what do you want me to do? Make up something just so I can gripe about them?

 

sounds like you got a bad trainer they are not supposed to run like teams,but then again your not supposed to be counting anouther mans money either,dont take it the wrong way but by reading your other post your probably in the wrong line of work

 

Roehl's rider policy is a spouse or your own child 10 years or older. No girlfriends , friends, nephews, or brothers or sisters.

 

Thanks bucksandducks

 

Actually its $40 a day for OJT, $65 for evo 1, $50 for evo 2. and paid for all the miles. If I have an OJT we usually run about 700 miles a day. So thats 700 x .42 + $40= $334. And yes if we are going across I-80 in Iowa I will be in back watching a movie or taking a nap. You have previous experience, do you really want someone constantly watching you for ten-eleven hours? Most students like being up there by themselves and getting to listen to their own music. The goal for OJT is for the trainer to make sure you can do the job and help you over some minor rough spots like logging how Roehl wants it done and how to use the qualcom. You should already know how to drive that is why the trainer is making less per day than having a brand new student. Is driving all day worth $100? Of course not but you are still in training. Does a apprentice plumber make as much as a journeyman? Why not, aren't they are doing the same job? At least Roehl didn't make you go through the whole training process like the last guy I had from USExpress. It was only a week and you made it.

 

Hey bucksandducks why do you care why I decided to go to cdl school?

 

Sounds like someone needs to go work for CR England.

Im trying to kick off my driving career as many others are doing. I dont see a point in starting off with a crap company just to 'pay your dues', if you can find a better company. If youre going to do something as important as a change in your life, you might as well do it right the first time.
Im calling Roehl later today.

 

I got the shaft at Roehl for not having a doctors approval. Dont give me this crap that Roehl has high standards. If this were so then JB Hunt has the highest standards since they only accept 20% of the people they bring into orientation. But I dont have ill regards towards Roehl anymore since most companies do this and I was a rookie driver at the time.

 

Doctors approval for what? High standards and JB Hunt should never be used in the same sentence unless it's the lack of. Glad you moved on.
