Couple packing ?????

Glad to hear your happy with your choice AZ. As far as trip planning goes break it down in steps. 1st you need to do your 25 mile check so find a place for that then your 150 mile 3 hour then your next. This way your only focusing on small chunks of the trip instead of the whole thing. This can allow it to be less overwhelming.

 

AZNoobie, Do you know why the others have been booted or quit orientation? It seems that 6 start each week and usually 1/3 to 1/2 or more never make it. I know first hand that one left because he could not get the shifting down. He thought the training was too fast and he decided to go to Prime where he is at now. He did not blame Roehl at all. Said Roehl is a great company but just too fast of training for him.

 

AZNoobie, How far do you carry 70lbs? And the guy that messed up on medical paperwork for DOT exam? Did they make you all get your DOT exam before going there? They just sent me yesterday to get mine. I passed and the DR gave me a 2 year card. Do they do the same tests all over again at Phase I? Thanks Looking forward to your updates on Phase II.

 

If I remember correctly, The 70lb carry was like 40 ft and back...? Maybe not even that far. It was 9 months ago...

 

THANKS for the responses. I did receive that video from my recruiter as well but wondered what else could there be that people we getting sent home for. I guess having surgery and not telling would be bad unless it was elective and not a required one. The 70 pound carry looks like only for flatbed? Did anyone have to do that for reefer or dry van?

 

Truthfully my guess for people getting sent home its between not being honest about there driveing record, and the hair test. My class lost only one but he was a special case of something else. Alls i gotta say is he was a dumb***.

Cause they do check your driveing record again while your in RDTC. To make sure you didnt get anything new. but some people might just relize after they get there this job is not for them. Its a lot of responsibility to drive a CMV.

 

Heading to RDTC either July 29, August 5 or 12. Wanted to know what to wear? 3 weeks of training and classroom. HOT in WI this time of year.
