    Created 15 new jobs???

    Was this facility already there before Roehl opened it? I wonder how many jobs were created in building this facility? Can't wait to visit... :biggrin_255:

    No it is a brand new terminal to replace the one that they leased in Kaukauna. It has been in the works for the last couple of years.

    Haven't they started training out of Appleton? I just know it's a lot nicer and the showers are more like regular truck stop showers. I still like the drivers lounge at Gary better, but still the place is nice. Just watch out if it's been raining, the parking lot turns into a mud hole.

    They probably delayed until everything was up and running. Last time I was there they were just then putting in the fuel pumps.

    The showers are beautiful and the sleeping rooms are actually quiet!
