Roehl is good and they have a school in PA. Probably make the best paychecks in their National Fleet. They pay you $500.00 a week while attending the school.

Leaning towards rohel. But a local company said they would hire me with no experience just worried that I don't have any seat time. I have driven a truck before (my dads) but never with a trailer or on a interstate. Sucks changing careers from heavy equipment operator to OTR trucker. Thanks.

The most difficult part of cdl school or passing the test at the DMV is the pre-trip inspection. May have to check or answer 75 - 150 questions at the DMV when you test out.
Youtube videos are a start; check them for "Pre-trip Inspections."
It's not like the old days where it was easy to get the CDL.
Some DMV's are strict; you must touch each part your inspecting, name the part, say what you're looking for (bent, loose, broken, etc.) Check for proper nomenclature; is it "air pressure guage" or "air pressure indicator" or is it "air line" or "air hose" and the brake parts names are important. Is it "brake shoe" or "brake lining", etc. Some states actually fail a driver on nomenclature and send him home before he gets to the road test.Last edited: Dec 1, 2016
