Does the hiring ever stop.

Pete, I think you just called yourself a malcontent . LOL

To the op, no the hiring never stops.....

 

just because a large amount of people come and go in a company . It does not necessarily make it a good or bad company

 

In my first four months with Roehl I've had two drivers with less than a year tell me they planned to stop OTR within a week or two. One found a local driving job and the other got a construction job and didn't like the travel. But the drivers here with more than a year or two seem to like it. There are many with over five years so not everyone is 'new'. So if you make it past a year (without doing something stupid) odds are you've found a career and that's when other career opportunities open up.

 

ive been with roehl almost 15 months, i have my days where i think i want to get a local job but then most days i enjoy what i do.

 

It's the federal government dude. Every year they pump in more and more money into the industry, while claiming falsely there's a driver shortage to justify it. If there truly were a driver shortage, wages would skyrocket. Instead, they have remained stagnant for years and in some cases even gone down.

 

Exactly right...

 

Most move from Roehl after a year because of better paying opportunities or they just can't deal with the lifestyle. I went to Roehl's training school and stayed with them for 14 months. Overall I enjoyed my time there but when you can pick up another 8-10K/yr driving the same miles there is no reason to stay in my opinion. I moved on to Crete at .41 cents a mile and a year later I moved to another company paying .48 miles on the hub with virtually no BS to deal with and as many miles as you can handle. After you get that year in and don't mind the job then it is kind of foolish to not seek out a better paying position for the same amount of work.

 

Does the hiring in any industry ever stop???

 

Thats because im always getting texts from a few drivers and it feels like Im posting to the forum therefore my need to vent or talk about my day is being fulfilled that way and i post less. lol
