My Roehl Experience

Yes I understand that. An update, day 4 is over and we have lost 2 guys with one going home today for poor shifting. The trainers did all they could to help the guy but he just couldn't shift well enough to get off the yard; I wish him and his family well. Not to brag but I shifted really well today. My trainer showed me how to double down and triple down and I was hitting this pretty well with very little grinding to no grinding. We got a lot of driving time today and drove in a lot of traffic. These guys really know how to teach! I am really impressed and happy I went to Roehl as of right now everyone seems to be friendly and they like to cut up and take the edge off all of the pressure you are under.

 

Sorry I have been busy debating (friendly) the presence of god with fellow classmates. I have a quick update. I passed my road test and had my picture taken for my employee badge, BUT I was told I haven't made it yet. We worked on backing pretty much all day; our trainers (Cory & Joe) made us back all the way around the terminals training track while placing cones in different locations. We had a good day and we are still sitting at 6/8 people still in the class.

 

Quick update- I passed the road test and all other test required. I will be an official Roehl employee come Monday. National Flatbed. I plan on keeping the thread alive through out my Roehl career so people can see the highs and lows of the company. So far, the only low is the hotel it's not bad but could be a lot better. Training was fast paced go go go and the instructors were really good and loved to cut up and always keep you thinking. So far I am proud I have made it this far.

 

I had to take a kinda of weird survey on my app, but it was just general questions. I believe one asked if you planned on being at your next job for a while. Don't let that stuff keep you away from a great company. Do the survey answer the questions honestly and enjoy your new career.
