Roehl Orientation questions

They need less drivers so they are getting more strict on the testing, which is fine with me it makes my job training easier if they have a clue when they get in the truck. I'm sorry that it didn't work out for you, hope that you get picked by someone else. Good luck.

 

hell i agree with needing less but every time im at a termainal i see 6 to 10 fresh meat... i mean new drivers hehe. hats off to you for being a trainer though. i dont know how u do it and stay sane lol

 

well dont give up thats for sure... theres a 100 other companies out there hiring students for u to get exp. in

best of luck. keep us posted

 

onthefence ... sorry to hear about what happened with your road test ! Now I'm a little worried ... I'm a recent CDL school grad heading to Ellenwood on 12/6. My only experience in trucks is what I got in the 3 week class I took ... bare bones at best ! It'll be over a month since I've been behind the wheel by the time I get up there, I'm hoping I'll still remember what to do lol ! I had an offer to go with Stevens but decided to hold out for Roehl. I'm curious as to what tripped you up on your road test ... downshifting was my biggest hurdle in school, though it finally started to fall into place on my last day. Any heads up you could provide would be appreciated.

Good luck with your job search, hope you land something soon !

 

remember.. clutch. out of gear. clutch. into next gear. its all timing... and watch them rpms... if too high or too low ur timing can be perfect and it will wont go into gear lol

 

Good luck, someone will pick you up. As for being a trainer, with enough Prozac anything is possible. It just takes lots of patients, most are pretty good guys just trying to feed their families, probably the hardest part is sharing the truck, there is never enough room.
