    Finding a local job with no exp is very hard for newbies. I'm in the same boat as you too. What made you wanna get into trucking?

    Roehl does 7/7, 14/7, and national hometime plans

    Roehls national honetime is a sliding scale

    11 data out 2 days off
    12 days out 3 days off
    18 days out 4 days off
    24 days out 5 days off
    30 days out 6 days of
    36+ days out 7 off

    They test your hair because urine tests are easy to get around

    Training with a road trainer is 7-14 days.

    testing out of phase 2 tomorrow here in marshfield!

    i'd have put this in one of my place holding posts but i cant seem to find an "edit" for posts...am i missing something obvious?

    anyways, my trainer is a very experienced driver with 28 years OTR (8 here)

    if i can remember and apply 10% of what he taught i will be good :)

    there is a TON of stuff to deal with effectively to be really good at this. Time management being at the top o the list :biggrin_25519:

    I have been forgetting to ask about breaks during the day in school.

    How many and how long for instance ?

    Is there an hour for lunch ?

    Good luck to all that are starting tomorrow !

    Good Luck Jeepnut!, just take your time backing at shippers and receivers, ask other truckers if you need help. Have seen a lot of newbies have backing accidents in the first couple months.

    What hometime are you on?
