Any Questions about Roehl??

So most everywhere does some kind of PWS now, from what I've seen it's pretty tough not to pass it.

Oh and just curious why you would think you deserve a refund for failing your PWS?

 

I'm new to this blog stuff and new to trucking. expected to start roehl the 14th of november for orientation. really do not know what to expect. I hear good and bad, we all know opinons are like _ _ _ holes everybody has one, can anyone tell the truth about them. i am going for flatbed western regional out of phoenix, training in gary ind.

 

also was wondering what kind of loads do they haul in the western reigon, is it same nationwide? So excited on starting new career, looking foward to working with roehl. I will be based out of the phoenix area, a little worried about the snow though

 

I've got a similar one- I'm signing on with the Refrigerated National Fleet, where should I expect to find myself going? Like, just anywhere? I'm not picky about places, just curious what to expect.

 

When I started refrigerated in the end of June I was doing a lot of back and fourth between Ohio and Wisconsin. Some things came up and I took a leave and just came back a few days ago. This time around I took a load out of Georgia to Texas, then Texas to Ohio, and I have a preplan to pick up in West Virginia and deliver in Georgia. In Evo 2 we did pretty much the same Wisconsin to Ohio with PA and NY thrown in there once. This has been my very limited experience. Hopefully someone else could tell you more places.

Edit: Wanted to add that the load from Texas to Ohio wasn't getting me home. I was really surprised to see that they have me going back to Georgia instead of like before and having me get eggs in Ohio to take to Wisconsin.

 

Don't really know. my extent of experience with western regional drivers is that they are generally Irate when they have meandered close enough to Chicago that they have to go into the city to pick up a load to get back into the western region. Which generally seems to be EMT/ Conduit piping to take to Home Depot Distribution Centers on the West-ish coast.

However, on a side note: I'm under the impression that the Western Regional Division is pretty much responsible for us discontinuing use of the Roehl-Bungees, apparently California DOT was issuing tickets because they didn't believe that they were adequate for securing a tarp. So, Woo-Hoo!

 

What's up with the rider policy? It sucks! I don't have kids or a wife so what am I to do?

 

get married and have kids okay kidding...I don't have a good solution for you

1. "generally Irate when they have meandered close enough to Chicago" Well BOO, f___ing HOO. I drove Western years ago and going into any of the smaller cities around LA was just as bad as Chicago.
2. YAY on the bungees. I have been slowly accumulating the good bungees as my tire tubes slowly fall apart. And something good actually came out of California!!!

 

well finally got my cdl yesterday...yyeeeaa...looking foward to working with you all. should start orientation next week
