    Treefork- around here, we just had rain yesterday...otherwise pretty much just warm weather (in Wisconsin, 60+ in early March is just NOT right)

    Southpaw, thanks...I've seen both sides of that coin, firsthand. BTW, my dad would've FLIPPED to fly one of those 787s...I think when he retired they'd just brought out the 777s, and he didn't have the option to learn, as he was going to retire a pilot, instead of demoting himself to co-pilot for the extra years of service.

    Skyviper, I have a power washer here at home that'll move dirt from one place to another...problem being we don't have the water pressure to operate it, unless the boyfriend gets creative and makes old truck fuel tanks into water holding tanks for it...oh, the joys.

    My boyfriend's brother worked for JB Hunt, and wasn't able to attach an external antenna to his truck for sirius/xm radio due to a) nowhere to ziptie and b) company policies.
    How is Roehl with these? It's important to me to be comfortable in the truck if I'm going to spend most of my time there, and radio is MUY IMPORTANTE...or something like that.

    my xm antenna is affixed with velcro to the top of my cascadia.... Roehl is pretty decent about driver comfort (with some exceptions) just as long as you don't go to the extreme you should be alright...

    I stuck my XM antenna to my passenger mirror with industrial strength Velcro from Walmart. I always keep a supply of that stuff in the truck. It's in the arts and crafts section at Walmart.

    Roehl's policy is simply no drilled holes without approval.

    I forgot to ask a critical question when speaking to the recruiter; how will I get to Wisconsin from Las Vegas. I cant imagine that long of a bus trip. If anyone can offer advice prior to me calling back I would greatly appreciate it

    Most trucks have cheap factory antennas, that is if they weren't ripped off in the Truck Wash...LOL! Always remember to remove antennas before using the truck wash. I have replaced the antennas with my own for better reception. Many drivers have done this as well. The company will do no CB wiring because they don't want to be liable for blowing up your radio. So you're on your own if you want to upgrade.
     
    T-Lady Thanks this.

    Hello everyone, i noticed on Roehl's site that they have their own CDL school that they put new drivers through, what i couldn't see is if they hire Grad Students from other CDL schools, I'm almost done with my CDL school and wanted to apply with them, but didn't know if they hire from outside schools or just Students that they teach themselves.

    Thanks for all your time
