    The problem for most new drivers really isnot the companies like they state, its them adjusting to the romantic life of a otr driver. mentally more difficult for some then other, but as humans we seldom bame ourselves. tough out a couple of months,

    Well said Powder Joints.

    Roehl is a wonderful company that provides excellent training and new driver support. Hard to find a company better for new drivers JMHO.

    I now run line haul for Old Dominion Freight. Some of our line haul drivers make upwards of 90K a year. Home every day. The trick is getting the experience. Ya gotta pay your dues.

    I started with Roehl and am very happy with their training and the way I was treated in general. At the year mark I was broaching 60K and having fun.....wife said "...get your fuzzy butt home...." so I had to come off the road.

    Seems that in trucking you don't really start making coin until about 6 to 9 months. Those that say otherwise are the exception not the rule. JMHO

    To get started, that's the deal. That's close to my current jobs pay and it's only the beginning.
