Headed to Roehl 08/07/11.

I just know some people say that the caffine can mess with your blood pressure, and your heart rate, and that can kill you on the pre-work screening. Other than that, the first day is all the important activity, physical, drug screen, pre-work screening, and your driving test. Like I said once that is done the rest of orientation is pretty easy. Sometimes boring.

 

Oftentimes boring. but pay attention anyhow!

 

Sounds like a good couple of days...

 

I wonder if your 1st impression would be different arriving at the Gary, IN hotel. lol. That's where my orientation hotel was.

 

I wonder... It is a wonder that they don't run when they get to Gary. I did my orientation there, the people at Roehl were great, it was just Gary that was not.

 

WHAT IS THE POTENTIAL EARNINGS OF A 1st YEAR COMPANY VAN/FLATBED DRIVER.

 

First year driver low 30's a bit more for flat usually, some do better some do worse. You start around .30cpm and run between 100k to 120k miles. There are alot of things that can effect that though, if you are on a hometime fleet it will be less, if you are on a regional fleet it could be less, the longer you stay out in the truck, and the less time you spend at home, the more money you can make.

 

You don't have Claude as a trainer do ya? He is awesome
