Roehl Flatbed

Prostar or Cascadia. Could be brand new, or a couple years old. Not sure what they're starting new drivers at; any recruiter should be able to tell you.

 

I have been in touch with a recruiter and am in the planning stages of heading to Roehl for the training. They offered me the .41 saying it was more based on me living in a premium area near busy lanes and the Canadian border even though im not close to a terminal.

 

yep if you are in a premium cargo zone it is .41 otherwise .39

 

I just started with Roehl flabed outta Vegas. I have about 2 1/2 years experience OTR & OTHER. I started with them at .44 cpm (new to flatbed tho). I like the company a lot. They really show concern & care for us as drivers. They have great shower facilities, (towels included) {wow}, they fix things quickly, they have plenty of spare items as needed. Let me know if you have any further questions, will help if I can.
I only have about 10,000 miles the first month, but this is flatbread... SLOW TO LEARN, TARPING TAKES TIME, CHAINS, SECUREMENT... ALL TAKES TIME TO LEARN & DO, especially in the beginning. Remember we do get compensation for the tarping.
Oh yes, and they did issue me & one other in my orientation a newer Freightliner Cascadia truck 47k miles. Clean/Sweet

 

I started my CDL career with Roehl flatbed back in middle of 2012. Drove with them for 14 months, before moving to a smaller flatbed company that gave me more miles at almost the same pay. Now I drive dedicated intermodal so I'm home almost every day, but am considering going OTR again.
Is Roehl using any Conestoga / roll-top trailers, yet? And do you know what percent of their flatbed truck fleet is automatic? TIA

 

I have been here at Gary for about 3 weeks for flatbed.... have yet to see one roll-top or even one auto trans.

 

MM- you still with Roehl?

 

Yes, still there currently, but thinly, cause of personal problems (moving & fam)...
