After you get that CDL in the free school, Roehl offers this position locally -- & later on, you could try out their flatbed &/or reefer division; Roehl offers more hometime options, too:

Given just how slow/bad the current CDL market is....especially for beginners....take the job that you can actually get (it's quite likely you won't be in a position to be choosey).

Carriers that normally accept & train new drivers include (but are not limited to):

• Swift
• Knight (Swift's "sister" company)
• Roehl
• Maverick (flatbed, glass & marine divisions)
• Decker (flatbed, & reefer)
• Schneider

Depending on where you are located -- & other market conditions -- you may well find that an opening with any of the above requires 3 - 6 months previous experience.

Best of luck....

You will spend 1-2 months with a trainer at your first employer. NOBODY feels ready for solo OTR leaving CDL school. You probably haven't seen one company procedural item for picking up or dropping a trailer. CDL schools cannot know all the basic procedures for event the top 10 companies, let alone every trucking company.

It's much harder to quit your way to success. Finish CDL school.

 

The problem I would identify with what you're saying is that you don't know what to expect, quite literally, so for you to suggest that you have valid complaints, well I just don't know where you're getting that from if you don't know what to expect. You lack knowledge and experience, therefore, I don't know how you can suggest that what you're complaining about is valid? ALL CDL schools teach you how to pass the test and I don't know of any starter companies that do not use driver facing cameras, those are expectations. I have noticed that there are many new or low experience drivers who seem to think that they should be able to drive a truck without a driver facing camera but frankly you'll need to have at least one year recent experience to get such a job typically, again another realistic expectation.

Here's the deal, I had a CDL 20 plus years ago that lapsed and in order to get my CDL back in recent years I went to Roehl's GYCDL program. This program is considered by many to be the best company sponsored CDL program and I can tell you that all they did is teach me what you would learn in your free CDL School. By the way Roehl charges $7,000 for their school. What you are receiving for free is something that a lot of people would like to have and are willing to pay money for, I can refer you to other recent active threads where people are seeking out free CDL schools like the one you are attending.

 

Well, Jrayl takes recent graduates without requiring a driver facing camera.. But they need to already have a CDL.

Like Blagoje, I also went though GYCDL. The problem with GYCDL (or any other company operated CDL school for that matter.) is that you pretty much have a minimum 70% chance of being terminated before completing the required 120k miles. And Rohel bills everyone that failed to reach the required 120k miles $7,000; I suspect because freight has become so cheap that collecting "tuition loan"s is more profitable than running freight.

 

Hi Slayer…this is “Jyps” I am going pretty much the exact same situation. Big grant from the government made it so I could get into the college course but they really were all About how to pass the test and stressed that they were not here to teach you how to drive check and or hit anything was getting you a job actually pointed out though they’re there seem to be And odds with required hours and actual hours driven I had other situational factors not just being a girl and maybe a sarcastically flamboyant good old boy type girl that did not mesh with my instructors I was behind in my abilities due to Will stuff there regardless of the ins and outs, or the reasons why and result was I was behind which sucked, and I was unable to attain any extra driving time that was asking for special treatment. Just if there was viable ways where I can get some more hands-on training on the road two weeks into it and I found the Google how to adjust my seat. Sounds like a not a big deal but believe me when I left the seat and adjusted nobody else you know how to get it back in the position that it wasn’t just logical deduction, but definitely a big deal for me to be able to finally see curbs and such but to push in the clutch all the way that I have a new stand up was a big class and I just rattling on all said and done even though after only an hour and a half of your driving time, I was able to do offset sorry, reverse offset my microphone don’t speak me apparently blush the other maneuvers like city driving and such was still very Brand New and I was asked to leave the course it is what it is now what I’m concerned about is we only have a limited amount of time to Get our training in after the permit let alone where in the heck am I gonna go if I could’ve afforded to just paid for It I probably would not be in the situation I’ve given and dedicated, and put forth Effort that to me does not surmise With me at the end of the day, not having my CDL in hand even if I didn’t have a job lined up which I do this is something that I want to see through just so I can I mean it might come In handy someday when the zombies come who knows that was a joke by the way, lol so for me and my situation, I think that is my only choice left to me is an employer willing to train. Sorry that was a whole lot of dictation resulting in anything, but answering your question I just was, I don’t know validated in the sense, just reading your inquiry, that my perception and ideals in this regard, it’s not just an off-the-cuff Written off as “chick” stuff…GRRRR I might be a 5 foot doll of a devil, but it wasn’t Until trying to learn to drive a truck that I realized I was even short -The only prove that my ba…I mean beliefs are bigger than most. Wink….Personally my intention was after the college course I was going to do another 6WKS with the teamsters in a more trade oriented way… I got every endorsement except school, bus, passenger and hazard. I don’t want to just learn how to drive truck. I want to do a very good job at it so take everything is available to you. It will only add to your skill, set résumé and abilities. I mean the job will come. That’s why we’re doing it right to take a vantage what is so Widely applicable as well as available and make a decent living Something you’re proud of and I think about halfway back somewhere, I mentioned about rambling on and getting to the point etc. so I’m gonna leave it at that blush smirk I if you or anybody who is selling it to read all that happens and know any companies that do train please please I love to gain any insight Spokane, Washington I 90 corridor smirk
