    Started today. Did all the paperwork and was given shirts until my uniforms come in.

    I love it here, everyone's laid back and real cool. We can choose to wear our uniforms or just the t shirt with the company logo on it if we don't want to wear the uniform.

    I just left the doctor, got my new 2 year med card. I gotta be back at work at 130am, leaving at 2 for an Orlando run.

    Yeah I made decent miles in van, I stayed out 24-30 days and ran all over the place. Just keep a good relationship with your dispatcher

    Hey DrtyDiesel ,

    Do you know why Roehl isn't hiring out of FL right now ? I'm graduating from FTI in Palm Coast (NE FL) and they said they're not hiring from FL at all..

    Thanks

    Not sure, may be due to the freight slow down. I'm sure they will be hiring in February or march

    I love reading about happy drivers with Roehl. I started with Stevens transport in 2011 in jan. left after training because they weren't all what they say they are. Then when with Schneider. I worked there for 7 months. That was a joke. I'd deliver a short 300-600 mile load then sit the rest of the day.

    Now I'm with Roehl. And couldn't be happier. Before I even deliver my load I already have a new pre plan. Sometimes 2 at one time. Some loads are short but just depends on the time of year. Dispatcher is very nice. Glad I chose to go with Roehl. Maybe tryin flatbed soon. Just don't wanna lose my dispatcher :/

    I know what you mean about losing a good dispatcher. I actually miss mine, he was awesome. Always kept me running, and when I'd sit for a long time he usually did something to compensate for it as in a long trip or extra home time when I needed it. He always got me home when I had legal stuff to do for my dads paperwork. I will miss working at Roehl.

    Same here, often I do not have to be home, but I needed to get home for a Doc appt. yesterday. They got me home no problem, also with the dispatcher thing, I also thinks sometimes it's a crapshoot. I have two that switch off, one I did have problems with my first month with them, but after that none at all, they keep me going rarely have long wait times etc... I think the one was just actually feeling me out, seeing how I would run, and not be a problem, or like a new driver.

    Drty:

    So very sorry to hear about your dad and your needing to leave Roehl before I could get you a referral bonus :)

    Sounds like you're a fellow who lands on his feet, though, and your new gig sounds like a winner.

    Best of luck!
