    He can bust $60K if he has all the endorsements, passport, TWIC. Many new drivers do because they are very aggressive with the applications.

    this is a good site, joined in mid december, trained with roehl in late january, now have cdl a and a company driver position. I'm 45 and on career no. 2.

    neat business, the more you drive the more $$$ you make. OTR gets free sleeper rent too.

    Thanks. I recently saw a news article that there is a severe trucker shortage and new truckers could easily make close to $50,000 a year. After talking to others and reading internet info it's obvious that is not true. Imagine that, the media reported something untrue. I recently took an early retirement from a job I was very tired of and want to start another career.

    Yes I am new to the career. I have no complaints with Roehl so far. I worked 26 years in Law Enforcement so I'm not looking for perfection. I'm also divorced and my family situation has no problems with going out OTR and staying out for however long it takes.

    Roehl so far has been fair and does things safe and I appreciate that a lot. I'm sure there will be moments like anyother employment but I don't see any big red flags here, just a fair place to work with good ethics and from what I have encountered a lot of positive and hard working people.
