Florida Van Drivers for Roehl?

New to TTR...Bear with me please...Thinking about becoming a company driver with Roehl. Anyone doing dry van out of Florida that could give me a heads up on what lanes I might be running should I do so? I've got 2 years OTR and 2 years local but none of it recent. I've been checking out some of these threads and it seems most all the Roehlies are always running WI, IL, IN, OH, MO, PA. Is that about accurate? Or do you think they would run me SE a lot seeing as I'm from FL? Also what about SW and West? I'd love to run the whole 48 and not just stay around the lower Mid-West. I really just want to make an informed decision before jumping back in. Thanks drivers...See you out on the road

 

Thank you for your replies. Actually, I am finding that my options will probably quite limited as the experience I do have is more than 10 years in the past. I guess that is the insurance companies at work. I'm having a hard time finding a company that will take me without a refresher course. Unfortunately, there aren't any CDL schools nearby. Very few companies even offer refreshers, either. I don't think I would even need one except for maybe the recent changes in the HOS regulations and I guess a little range time wouldn't hurt. Ideally, I would find a company with a short refresher course and test out to be assigned a truck. I would like to avoid a LOONNGG drawn out period with a trainer, if possible. I have kept my CDL totally clean with a current DOT Medical card and all endorsements except passenger. No tickets, accidents, or criminal history of any kind. I've found these forums very helpful and appreciate the feedback.

 

Thanks for your help coop. The website shows National flatbed in my area. I didn't really want to go with flatbed, though. I applied on one of those websites like ziprecruiter.com or something like that. Roehl had posted a dry van position in my zip code. Basic orientation and 9 days with trainer? I could deal with that...If I could get on National Dry Van, that's like 21/3 or 14/3, right? What fleet are you in?

 

Well, I just spoke to Melissa in recruiting. Not going to happen without attending the full CDL school. With no experience in the last few years I am out of luck. I must say I'm getting a little discouraged here. I don't see paying 3 grand to attend school again. I need to regroup and see what my options are. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...Thanks

 

well I don't think I would have to pay the license fee because I already have a license. I really would only be going to the school so that they would hire me. I guess it could be a last resort if I can't find someone else that would be interested in either giving me a refresher or hiring me out right.
