My journey with Roehl...

Hey ya'll. I'm lookin into startin my truckin career and have done some research. Looks like Roehl is the way to go. What all am I gonna need to bring? I ain't got my cdls yet. Also was wonderin when the best time to go would be. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

January.. Nothing like a frozen, wind blown, ice covered training course to break you in right..

 

I just received my bus ticket. I start Monday. I am not worried about the physical. Besides I was already given a DOT physical by Roehl and passed.

It seems they have 10 speed trans. and that is what I was taught with when I got my CDL.

I will not have a laptop for a few weeks. I will leave it for my wife to use at home. I plan on buying one latter on.

I am excited, but I don't want to be. I don't want my feelings of excitement to affect what happens on my first day.

 

#### girl what'd you do to make your heart rate go that fast??

 

I am sorry you didn't pass. Go see your doctor. There are blood pressure medicines that help keep your heart rate down. These work wonders. I guess we will see you in 6 months.

 

Sorry. Keep your head up. I am glad you gave it a try.

 

Does anyone know how many trainees actually get through all 3 evo's and stay with Roehl? Every week approx 6 students make it to EVO1= 312 a year hired if all goes well. So how many actually DO stay? For all the ongoing classes for training every week wouldn 't you think they would eventually reach saturation?

 

This is a 1,300 truck company. It's still an interesting question I'd love to know the answer to. I can tell you that I did it. I'm still here. The company irritates me every now and then, but I feel I've learned to play the game well.
