Any Questions about Roehl??

best place for training is Appleton...#2 is Dallas starting 27th of this month ..but only taking Texas regional drivers

 

Thanks guys...I'm heading to Appleton on Aug 20th to start Phase 1. Nice to hear it's a good place for training. The Comfort Inn looks nice...pool and hot tub!

 

I too am giving Roehl a close look for an employment option. I start my cdl schooling the 13th at SAGE locally. My records are squeaky clean! My only concern would be that I have been unemployed for close to a year now. Mostly due to my indecision .... but after leaving the newspaper industry after 10 years I really did not want to just jump into something without research and thought. Sooooo after a couple of false starts, here I am almost a year later. My wife and I are set up financially, which enabled me to be a little less anxious/desperate. But I am definitely ready to get to work. I truly believe trucking is the right choice!

Do you all think this down period will be an issue with Roehl? I have not yet spoken to any recruiters.

 

Is it true that they are not hiring people living in California?

 

When I hired on, five years ago, I had been a stay-at-home daddy for 5 years, I needed 3 people that I wasn't related to, to sign an affidavit saying they'd known me all five of those years.

 

Has it been 1 yr since you aquird your CDL or 1 yrs since you last worked? If just not working they may ask for documentation of what you have been doing,,,no big deal and good luck to you

 

That gives me a great idea, but then I'd be home with 5 kids. Nevermind, my wife is superwoman.

 

No I haven't got my CDL yet. Next week I start school. Yeah I will get some documents signed just in case I need them ....thank you!

 

Thats great to know. I am sure that there are alot of people that have certain reasons for being unemployed for extended periods of time. It would be a shame for a company to overlook prospects because of it.

 

Georgia has what is called the WIA program. It is a grant that will pay for your school and 9.00 a day for gas. It will also cover your CDL testing fees and your physical. You can qualify for this very easily if you are on unemployment or food stamps. I start school at KATLAW driving school on Monday 8-13-12. I have a pre-qualify from Roehl and hope to start training with them shortly there after.
