    It will be 54 days by the time I get home. This is by choice as I have a special deal worked out with my FM to get extra time off - should be 9 or 10 days.

    I believe most of us who have worked for this company would agree they are an excellent choice for a new driver. I am not disappointed in my choice... And I have also heard good things about the school....

    I went to their school in 2008. I learned a lot, but I can't compare it to other schools because I don't know

    I went to Roadmaster and I would suggest you go to Roehl's school or better a community college or trade school that offers CDL training. Find somewhere that will give you individual instruction instead of sharing a cab with 3 other drivers. The more time you get behind the wheel the better you'll be.
    Also, realize that whatever school you go to you'll still need to pass Roehl's requirements. They are a really good company as I'm sure anyone who works for them will agree.
    Good luck!
