Florida State College at Jacksonville (FSCJ) (My Journey)

I really enjoyed it. Great instructors that make it a fun learning experience. Congratz on passing man what companies you looking at?

 

Not meaning to double post didn't see your question before my other post. As for Roehl, yes they do test you but not right when you get there. They know you just came out of scholl and they have to retrain you to their ways. They will test you in orientation but they don't tell you when they do it. They just say "hey you passed". As for roughing it out for AC / Heat. My old 9400i had no APU or anything on it. Be darn sure I idled that thing for comfort. So no they don't expect you to tough it out. Only idle when needed. As for these new battery packs.. I know the international prostars automatically start up and idle until the batterys recharge. The cascadias do not. I havent had mine die on me yet and when they do I will be calling maintenance to learn how to override the idle reduction. As for them keeping you moving, majority of the time your running balls to the wall. But there will be weeks where you might have slow days of waiting. Take it as it comes!

Being that your new you might be nervous about idling. Don't be. Your comfort is important and they don't want you fatigued.


P.S: when I get home I'm going to go through all my post and correct my spelling grammar and what nots. Because I shook my head when I just reread some of my older post.

 

I'm assuming your wanting to do home time and not national fleet. I'm on the national 14/3 which makes it so I don't have to slip seat. All depends on your preferences I guess. Though Roehl is starting to upgrade their fleet so it may be a good time to join them if you do decide to go with them. I turned in my old 9400i and got a brand new 2013 cascadia with 74 miles on it.

Just know working for Roehl expect to be one of the slowest (other then TMC) trucks out there.

 

Switched over to flatbed. Had to give up my 2013 for a 07 Columbia (flatbed truck). Sucks but oh well. Aswell got some more information on how it's been going on my blog http://www.youngtruck.com (If you want... click the ads! It's puts money into my pocket! haha)

 

I've been working on trying to figure out placements of things. I feel as though I am limited by the current blog software I'm using.

Appreciate the feedback though, you picked out the same opinion I've had when starting it.
