Roehl Transport, Inc. - Marshfield, Wi.

I'm a newbie and I'm thinking of going to Roehl.I live in Jersey,where would I go for my CDL training?As in:does Roehl provide the training for my CDL?How much is it for training?I've heard nothing but good stuff about Roehl and I'm thinking of possibly going with them instead of schneider.I just need my CDL.

 

The CDL school is in their main facility at Marshfield, WI. They'll reimburse it after so many miles. I think they raised the price to like $3200. If you're thinking of getting in now, wear lots of layers. I was there in December and windchills of -30 were a nice day.

 

Thought they had a school on the east coast also, but I do not know for sure. Go to their website. And I believe they raised it again... $3900 is what they told me, for 3 weeks of school.

 

he's correct. Try abf, starting pay is $19.25 hr in atlanta. Also you can try averitt local, they will also train you. I drove for roehl for 1 year and only grossed a $1ooo paycheck 3 times. I was a regional driver so dont expect to make good money unless your otr with them. Get your expereince and find a job where you can be at home more often with better pay.

 

they also have a school in atlanta, ga now. They opened it this year.

 

i agree, or a fuel hauling job. I make anywhere from $230-$340 a night. We get paid $20 hr to wait. Also $20 extra to split stores. $25 everynight to start out empty and deadhead to terminal. Hell they even pay $35 to go get the truck washed! I worked for roehl so i know they pay isnt good at all. Abf has a union approved school and they start of at $19.43 hr in atlanta. Call them up 1st!

 

try schneider or abf. The pay is better than roehl and you'll have more options at the big orange. There tanker division pays good, lots of extra's. Plus they have a lot of dedicated freight. My brother in law is a freight manger in atlanta for schneider in atlanta thats how i know. Abf will also train you if you have attended a approved school. Averitt will also. Do your homework, dont rush. You dont want to be on the road for 2 weeks and only bring home $600-$700 , thats a waiste of your time

 

they do have another school in ellenwood, ga (atlanta). It's new

 

I knew they had the course setup there, but last time I was there they hadn't done much with it except the close quarters testing I guess. Good to know they got around to it.

 

Talk about an exageration, the only time you'll find -30 degree temp in Wisconsin is the wind chill index in late January and February. Average temps now is 75 degrees with a low at nite around 35.
