    I havn't been there but I live in WI so I am kinda familiar with them. they seem okay. Actually I was talking to a recruter there because I am moving to TX and was interested in there 7 on 7 off program but where I'm moving is 4 hours from the terminal and they want you within 3 hours.

    I actually spoke to a recruiter from Roehl too, and have heard from a few former drivers that they're a pretty good company. As a greenhorn, the impression I get from the industry as a whole is if you sign on with a good company and work hard, it's a great way to make a living. Plus, as an instructor of mine used to say, we grown men get to play with trucks! Very best of luck!:thumbleft:

    oh, you will work hard. it sounds easy but sitting in that seat for 11 hours is not easy. ANd you have to learn to keep that door closed and keep on keeping on.
    it is a good job. actually I truly believe it's alifestyle as much as a job. it gets in your blood and you'r a goner!! some people that never happens to but most it does. If it doesn't happen then go find a different job because you won't tolerate the industry well
