Does Roehl really want new drivers

Don't pin your hopes on Roehl. It works for some as you see by the same posters...but for others it has been a looooong ride with little shown respect or professionalism from those I directly work with. Well almost, Joe & Joe are pretty jam up and they get me...it's those FM's before & night/weekend crews that'll make you cringe thinking you have to deal with them.

I have been shown more respect and honored with a certificate and a jacket from those that have never met me, spoke to me or probably even know my name from analyzing my on time production/safety/fuel-idle conservation that they've seen probably in a quarterly printout.

 

There is a significant difference in recruiting between Roehl and Schneider. Roehl has two recruiters who actually work for Roehl as paid staff members. Schneider hires a third party to do its recruiting and pretend they're employees. They also recruit a ton of drivers. There will probably be 30 people in your class. Roehl never has more than 6. In addition, the two companies are vastly different in size. You're trying to compare apples to pumpkins.

Good luck with Schneider.

 

Hi I am trying to find out about the Schneider run they say they have a 2 week on 1week off run that i can get after school and the other otr they offer is 2 weeks out and 2 days off seems to me you would make a little more with 2weeks on 2 days off but not that much more only bad thing is slip seating but the days off seem nice whats your input on this?

 

Why not ask this in a Schneider forum? This is the Roehl forum.

 

Don't wait for them to call you. I followed up with them every other day. The squeaky wheel get the grease.

 

Two weeks for me but I didn't need medical clearances.

 

Of course Roehl wants new drivers. I was a trainer for seven years. I think I only spent two weeks out of that seven years without a student. I wouldn't be surprised if they want a certain percentage of their drivers at a rookie pay scale. If they have to choose between two rookies and all things are equal except one has some medical stuff going on. They will take the one without the medical issues. Chances are a rookie is going to mess up a truck they don't want the added expense of the health issues.
