    Question:
    According to the Roehl website, they give you 2300 - 2600 miles a week as a solo driver, but didn't read how much they pay per mile. So my question is.... How much do they pay per mile for a new driver straight from school?

    Lol, one more question: Do they offer otr in all 48 states? Thank you.

    Your pay does depend on what you haul. I believe dry van is lowest pay followed by refer followed by flatbed.

    That's great news! I will be starting RDTC with you too. Do you know of any others that are starting the 12th? I know one that was going to go with Roehl could not get in because he had a contract with USA Truck. He said he hopes to switch to Roehl after he has his debt paid off.

    No I don't know anyone else. I have talked to a few guys (non drivers) and they say it's a very good company. I am very excited to get started.

    Many companies are hiring newbies; thousands every day. You're just not applying to the right companies. Apply with CRST. You haven't driven in 4 years, most companies will want you to attend some formal school or refresher. Apply with CRST and Swift and JBS Carriers. Apply online. Move your questions to "Questions from new drivers" thread.

    I received pre hire letters from over 10 companies and I don't even have my CDL yet. Newer than a newbie I would say. I am going with Roehl and I personally know several drivers that work there and some have been there for many years while a few just started less than a year ago and are still working for Roehl. They all seem to be happy for the most part. Good and bad with all jobs even if you are self employed etc.
