Interested in starting with Roehl

I pretty much ran a triangle Minneapolis, St. Louis and Cincinnati. Could never get 2500 mi.

 

If you need to go to a cdl school, go to a local vocational college. Much cheaper and you wont be under any contract. There will be employers coming to your school begging you to come work for them. Find the best one, stick it out a year there, then go wherever you want.

 

I would pick Millis over Roehl every day of the week and twice on Sunday. You won’t make any money over there and they’ll micro manage you to death.

 

Funny you should bring up death, Frank........

 

Hate to see a perfectly good neck spoil!

 

A coworker went to Roehl 4 mos ago. I called him last week to ask how it was going and he told me it was fine. According to this soon-to-retire old timer, If you want to run hard, you can top $80k; if not so hard, you can still get over 1200/week and have every weekend off.
His plan is the same for which I am considering Roehl: work full time for one year to get the 10,000 sign on bonus, then dial back to part time. Roehl is one of the few companies that will let you work part time.

 

I’d be wary of them getting you to like 100k then short hopping the heck out of you. But that’s just me, and I’m a glass 1/2 empty kind of guy.

That’s a good point. In St. Louis they used to advertise a lot of 7/on 7/off I think.

 

No I never have. I’m just leery of what some these companies promote. Especially after reading some of the horror stories on here and going through a crap show of my own recently switching companies. It’s almost another language you hafta decipher with all the reading between the lines and clauses. But on that same token, it might be the best place and you’d wish you’d done it years ago! Just ask lots of questions. And if it seems a bit too good to be true, it probably is.

 

From what I understand, both Roehl and Millis have a camera shoved in your face. I went to a local community college and got my CDL for $2500. This is a much better route if you can do it. If not from what I hear Millis is the better choice.
