Life After Roehl

You will want to move those funds quickly. If you wait too long, like I did (but don't recall the exact amount of time, 1-2 mos,) Roehl will yank them out of Wells Fargo and send them to some other IRA company. Then its another headache to track that down and get it from the second company. Do yourself a favor.... Call Wells Fargo SOON and have it transferred into the IRA of your own choosing!

 

Doesn't sound right that they can move your money to a different place without your approval.

 

4 weeks on my new job is spelling out to be the best move I have ever made in my career. Im talking double the money I made at Roehl plus I don't pay my insurance or my retirement. The company pays it all. No more sleepers I sleep in a hotel every night and home weekly I just wish I had known about this place years ago.

 

So took a nasty miss step while tarping last week. My foot has been swollen twice its normial size. Getting better almost back to normial. My boss is concerned about my deal which is nice. Decided against a claim due to its just sprained. Hes got me doing easy runs till iam back 100 percent.

Being home most of the time is nice. Since I left roehl only been on the road one night. Otherwise slept in my own bed everynight. Making good money my family is happier iam happier. Can bring my kids or dogs along with me.

 

I'm doing good too, paid hourly, OT after 40. All drop n hook, my biggest concern now is gas in my own car to get to work.

 

Lol that is something iam still getting used to.

 

I commute 5 miles round trip.

 

I think my commute is going to me less than that. From what I've heard, I can park the truck at one of the cons that is a short walk away.

Started my first day of orientation today. So far the miles are terrible.

Did drug test, physical, signed a bunch of forms, did a driving test. Good day.

 

Well.. Finished orientation and went out with a trainer on my route. It is so simple I might as well be pulling a van. Undo 4 chains, get loaded, apply 4 chains and go. Repeat at destination. They usually give you your permits in the morning, but if not, they'll fax it to you as you load.

We're going to run local flatbed runs on Monday and who knows what after that.

 

Good for you GS. While OTR is good for some, it's not for most. Roehl is an outstanding place to get experience, but beyond that, they are too much. Way too crazy on the micro managing. Sarah is insane in safety. When I got 2 hours taken away from me on my 70 for so called not logging enough in duty time. It just made me start looking sooner, and harder for another place.
