Any Questions about Roehl??

Only I can fuel FASTER at a Pilot! . Even with some idiot parking at the fuel island, going inside for subway and a shower and coming back out, and it still wouldn't take as long as Gary.

 

Pretty much everyone spends time at gary. Its the hub of the company for the most part. Can't say I miss that place. Fueling aleays a joke! I tried to fuel in the morning unless I knew I needed the trlr looked at.

 

Do they require all drivers to get a passport? The website says they run Canada, but they don't mention a passport in the list of requirements. I would guess that means it's optional. I'd like to run National if I were to choose Roehl, but I don't cross borders.

 

They do have some drivers without a passport. Not sure if they will hire or not now. They run quite a bit of Canada. Now there are some drivers that have never gone and others like myself who went 15+ Times in a year. Its just the roll of the dice. I don't see em letting a guy go because he never gets a passport, but it could happen I suppose.

 

I don't have a passport and they've never mentioned that I need one either.

 

Never been to Canada myself.

 

One more question- can a driver choose any terminal to be based out of? I use my parents address in OH, but if I went to Roehl, I'd like to be based out of KS City.

 

Unless you are running one of the hometime fleets that require you park at a yard it really doesn't matter.

 

Actually, the hometime fleet is the point

I'd start out on maybe the 30/6 or something like that, but in a couple years I'd like to be on a 14/7. When I do that, I want to be based out of somewhere central (such as Kansas City) so I can get anywhere in the US quickly. I'm going to buy a camper van to keep at the yard to live in on the 7 days off. Work 2 weeks, camp one week. Can't afford it just yet, but soon!

That's the main reason I'm looking at Roehl. Transport America is the only other I know of offering 14/7 and I didn't think much of them when I worked for em a few years back.

 

You would be based out of the terminal closest to your address if you're on the Hometime fleet and then you have to live within a certain distance. I think its 100 miles, but not positive on the distance.

We don't have a terminal close to Kansas City so they'd probably send you to Gary.
