considering going with Roehl

Thank your for the PM it is greatly appreciated. I tried to PM you too, but I don't have enough status points or whatever it's called to send a PM. Cheers.

 

I just read your entire list about reefers and that was very helpful. I kept thinking I would prefer reefer over dry van but it does sound like there's a lot of coordination and headaches that accompany it that need to be factored it.

I also find myself in very much the same situation as bitshifter... just left 20 years in IT, decided this is a good time in my life to try something I've always wanted to do.

 

There are some pluses to pulling reefers, like a little more mileage pay, but it just wasn't worth it to me right now.

I will say this though, if dry freight gets slow I'll definitely take reefer over sitting.

 

I just submitted my app to roehl. I have a good record and such, but won't jump ship till after my Thanksgiving home time. They will have everything done except drug test and physical when I do decide to head that way, saves a ton of the bs stuff other companies have .

 

I got my start date for RDTC, January 6th. Looking forward to starting a new chapter in my life.

 

Enjoy the January weather in Marshfield. Myself, goblue, and The OSU were in one of last January's classes...hard to believe it's been almost a year.

 

I'm from about four hours north of Marshfield on the shores of superior, the weather doesn't bother me. reading the thread following you guys through training was a big reason why I chose Roehl.

 

Kim is a great recruiter.

 

I will see you there on Jan. 6th.

 

I'm waiting to hear back from Roehl myself. Been working with Debbie and should have an answer by Monday or Tuesday as to weather I am on or not. Trying to get into the flatbed fleet myself, and don't know if I'll have to go thru the whole school or not. Either way I am good with it seeing as how I've pulled equipment and tankers but not much skateboard. Is January the first class or is there on in December also? I am hoping to get back in the cab ASAP, and after checking the scores of the companies I have put in for Roehl is definitely my first choice especially 11 western regional.
