Roehl Orientation, Testing, and OTR Training

Classroom time, driving, shifting, and backing.

 

There's a lot of info from driver's on this thread alone to answer everything and things you wont expect. That's why my general answer to your post. To make a new thread instead of clicking one of the newbie threads boogles my mind. Not to bash you at all nor detour your efforts. Its good to ask for info. But theyre are more than one newbie thread in the top ten my friend. BMI is for sleep apnea and thats a controversial subject that you can also find info on as well. Take some time and read some past threads that are actually more recent. Or go to orientation and find out for yourself. Best of luck.

 

The Gary terminal is somewhat a reflection of the city it's in. The city of Gary has its share of struggles like a lot of cities in the so-called "rustbelt." I wouldn't say it's a "#$%^ hole" by any means. Due to its location in a very high-freight area of the country, it gets a LOT of traffic coming and going through it. The mechanics and personnel there are usually quite busy, but I have always been treated well by the people there. Prior to the upgrade it's currently undergoing, it was pretty cramped and crowded. The upgrade/expansion will help a lot with that. Unfortunately the construction is still in progress, but when it's done it will be pretty nice.

 

Pretty much sums it up. Most of the shop guys are rude, but they're probably tired of working around construction. I can't stand that terminal, especially with it all tore up now. I love Appleton and Marshfield.

 

For peace and quiet, and really friendly mechs. Iron mountain. Appleton close second.
