Career Number 9

From what I've learned about Roehl, they seem to be strong on home time and weak on the pay scale. Check the 'fleets' link on their web site to make sure that you're in their hiring area and what options are available to you.

 

You're welcome.

Here's a link to a long thread by a driver that made the decision to go Roehl.

 

From what I have seen while lurking here for over a month, I have found little to turn me away from Roehl.

I have my own path, thanks to a college buddy of mine who has experience at another company, but Roehl is pretty close to my second choice based off of reputation. My only advice is to remember that if everything was as golden as a recruiter says, they wouldn't need drivers.

 

If you are going to school for you cdl, the more hours the better, and it opens up more companies to you...

I started out with Schneider on a dedicated account, driving as a team - great learning experience and pay was good too... started at $.32/mile and ended up making about $700-780 (after tax) depending what runs we had. I was home almost every day or every other day for about 30mins to and hour. And home every weekend, friday afternoon till sunday night.

Point of me saying all that, you learn quicker in a team and pay is usually higher.

Hope this helps a bit...

 

Ohh yeah... Welcome to the forum and trucking!

 

Well, as it's a requirement of the job, yeah you'll need to wait until you have your license.
