    Oh the frustration continues.... Apparently the only person you can talk to as a prospective new hire is the one recruiter. Thats it. Almost all of the numbers will be answered in WI, with very limited info and will direct you to the one recruiter. The issue here is that as a prospective new hire, this is not just a job too me. It's a lifestyle and career change and I do not treat that lightly. I need a little more specific info and some details. I do not need to "sold" on Roehl, it was already my first choice, I need details. Roehl's website is full of info that seems to differ depending on what link you use to get there or what path through the site you take. Seems to me they are very protective of info that should be important to a prospective new hire and are protective of who you speak to. This raises some red flags for me, for some it doesn't but for me it does. Im hoping these issues can be cleared up, Im hoping this is not a glimpse of what its like to be a part of team Roehl.

    Do you work for Roehl?
    I'm having a hard time getting real info about them from any employees, seems they would rather you not talk to anyone but the recruiter at all costs. Seems very strange to me. They where my first choice but things are just wonkie and feel uneasy about them now.

    Ever think of getting your CDL through a community college?

    Yes, but I'm over 2 hours away from the closest one that offers it. The costs are a little prohibitive as well. It would be something I would have to travel to daily or motel it. Timing is an issue as well. In my situation a company sponsored CDL seems to be the best option.

    Hey Bakerman that your truck in the pic? Looks cool. Could you recommend some good starter companies? I am fixing to go with Werner but just curious if you knew any others? Thanks
