Questions about Roehl orienatation

Just means you go in for physical/drug test some classes driving test do paperwork pass it all get a truck on your own and you get the $450 after delivery of first load. At least that's what they did with me in September. I had to go to marshfield though. I don't know if they do it in other terminals.

 

Oh they will have you do homework. They do the plan a trip figure miles when and where you will stop etc... It's not bad. The classes are boring they lump you in with the phase trainees for The Roehl Way and some other stuff. Show some videos. Any more questions just ask. I'm trying to think what else. Hardest thing for me was Qualcomm/elog as I had never used them before.

 

Hey Indra, Roehl was my first choice when I got my CDL. Because I was living in Atlanta, GA, my oritentation was in Ellenwood, GA. This was in 2007... My memory is bad and can't remember how much they paid me... I did not stay with them. Just want to give you a heads up about a homossexual "female" trainer (sometimes she drives flatbeds). I am not the only female trainee who had an awful, terrible experience with her. If you have patience to search this forum, you will read about it. She was mean, unfriendly, verbally abusive, unhelpful, criticizing everything, stressed me out... seemed to be angry all the time... I thought she didn't like female trainees and wanted to give them hell and cause them to fail... If you go with Roehl, watch out for this person. Good luck.

 

you would go to Ellenwood Ga, its just below atl on I 675 x 5, everyone there is nice, i run 14/7 out of there so im in and out alot. i would imagine that if that trainer is that bad then she is no longer a trainer, because roehl calls you and ask you how your trainer was and all that.

 

I've enjoyed my time at Roehl. When I decide to go back otr then I may come back. Not as a company driver though, it'll be with my own truck

 

you would have to park at a terminal or drop yard for hometime, slip seatng isnt bad at all, ive been doing it for over 10 months now. we have something in darlington sc but roehl doesnt own it, we just use the back end of another companies lot, but you could ask the recruiter about it. how far are you from atl, it would be up to you, but they may have you run from ellenwood
