    Love them. Good company. I'm one of their trainers. It's gonna cost you in the ball park of 400-600. Don't bank on that because I don't know the exact number. The recruiter can tell you. Any questions just let me know

    So what's the training like on the road is it 24 hours of driving constantly and one person sleeps?

    Who do we look like, england? Lol. No bud. You drive 6 hours minimum unless your not comfortable. Look up roehl and find the thread about a lawsuit some dummy tried to file. I laid down the law of our company on th there. U drive and the trainers in the jump seat and vice versa. We can't force u to do anything. If we do we lose out Job. Not as a trainer but as a driver for roehl.

    Haha well roehl has got some pretty good reviews so I know it's gunna be the right choice. I have driven ggooseneck trailers and stuff in the past and can back a trailer good but i know it's nothing like it. I'm just worried not gunna pass due to shifting and getting the driving stuff down. Is there a lot of people that come to roehl not knowing anything bout truck driving.

    Duramax, I just graduated Friday from a California trucking school, Western Pacific Truck School in Sacramento, CA.
    My training was classroom, yard, and on the road/highways. It was very comprehensive. My CDL test is at the end of the month, so I'll know more then!
    I like what Plenz3 had to say! I want to find some OJT like that!
