I go to Chicago and through it fairly often. Only issue is 'rush hour' for planning. You lose a lot of customers on Chicago banning. Ditto for...
Only thought I would have on a truck is to think about the post-99 ELD mandate coming next year. I bought a 2013 and kick myself sometimes....
The load board is only for van OO. I haul a reefer so I am still strictly mileage.
Agree with posts about finding a company that does what you want (flatbed, reefer, etc.) and doesn't make you a 'meat in the seat' team driver....
Also, OOIDA won't insure you if you have under 4 years. That is what happened when they called me.
I am an O/O and I am not governed but spend a lot more time driving 60-62 than 70+. Fuel is generally the second largest cost to a driver. I...
You're only allowed in if you are a driver or a student at the Roehl Truck Driving schools. Check with recruiters. They have the info on where...
I bough my truck outside of Roehl. If you buy a brand new (newer truck) you're going to pay for it for a long time. I am looking into getting my...
CDL test is adminstered by a 3rd party. The guy I had did a lot of them for Roehl and understood that you were not a perfect driver. Avoid the...
I have no idea how drivers only are getting $250/week. Not saying it didn't happen but I know that is rare. As a newer company driver, I...

I know they had stuff for flatbed and I am en route to Phoenix for my second time since starting at Roehl in FEB, but the Phoenix yard is pretty...
I heard it on the Real Roehl driver's club on FB. It is only for van. I wanted to get in on it but can't since I am in Reefer. Answer to the...
I am on my way to Phoenix for the second time since I started solo in mid-Feb. We are mostly in the East but they have a small terminal in...
Check on our Southeast Regional. I am a National Reefer (really means E of I35 95% of the time) and have only been in FL and GA 2 or 3 times and...
Nate, I have been to AZ once, TX twice, and MO 3 times. The rest of it is East. That is Roehl's loads.
I have been a solo with Roehl in Reeferland since mid-Feb. Became an O/O in late September with a truck I bought outside of Roehl. I have...
Thanks for your posts about Landstar and backing/other stuff. Nice to hear from someone else who has been a Roehl driver what life is like on the...
####! Not prorated after a certain point or didn't he drive that many miles?
