    Hey all, heading to Dallas for orientation on Nov 19th. Was hoping that someone could give me some insight on what to expect during orientation, the hotel and how long you had to wait for your trainer once it was over. I'm going into to the Texas Regional Division, looking forward to becoming part of the Roehl team. Thanks and be safe.

    It's all pretty new in TX for Roehl. We apparently have a new terminal there now, but I haven't been there yet. I have been to the old drop yard we had there a few times, but not to the new terminal yet. I don't know if we have had anyone on the message board go through orientation there yet. You will be the first and you can tell everyone about it as you go through it!

    Thanks Skyviper. Are you running the Texas Regional or National division?

    Hopefully this Texas regional works out mileage and pay wise or I will be going Van National as well. It's hard to find people on this forum in the Texas Regional, guess I'll find out soon enough. Thanks for the info and be safe out there.

    Not sure if you are on facebook or not but there are a couple different Roehl sites there, run by drivers I believe.
    Might want to check that out.
    Where is the new TX terminal?

    Thanks Bandit.

    This is the address that the recruiter gave me for the new terminal:

    4551 Leston Street Dallas, TX 75247

    Must be pretty new, seems like not alot of drivers have seen the terminal yet.

    They only started doing orientations out of there recently. You're the first I've seen on the forums going there.

    That address is wrong. That's the old drop yard. The correct address is 1101 E Avenue K Grand Prairie,TX.
