Roehl paid CDL training... what are your honest thoughts?

I'm considering going with Roehl and I actually filled out their application already. I don't have my CLP yet but I'm studying the material on their site.

Everything I've read seems great as far as paid training, decent home time, etc. but I would love to hear from new Roehl students as well as anyone who has experience working for them. I'm a 29 year old female who has zero experience in this field aside from driving a Uhaul a few times but people on this site have put my mind to ease a bit about females in the industry.

I would just love to know what others think so I can see if my decision to go with Roehl is a good one. Also, is it possible to request to drive solo (after my training is completed) or will I be forced to drive as part of a team?

Thanks!

 

Thanks. On their site it says I have to drive for them for 15 months. I did apply for the CDL program at Alabama's Affordable Truck Driver Training which seems to be a good place and I could get financing and earn my CDL in 8 weekends. Maybe that's the best route? They help with job placement as well

 

However, I'm also concerned that I earn too much to qualify for financial help. I net about $21,500 annually. But I don't have $3,000-$7,000 to pay for CDL school either. I may have to go with paid training and just go with the best rated company possible.

How do you like Ozark? Are they paid training, decent home time, etc?

 

Well from what I've read and the advice everyone's been giving me, I'd much rather go through school and then have my pick of who to drive for. I do owe $1,140 to a community college I had to drop out of a few years ago and didn't know that I did until a few months ago when I went to apply to go back there and I don't know if applying for financial aid for my CDL would flag that or not. If so, it would take me about 3-4 months to save enough to pay that off before I could get financial help for CDL school.

I'm wondering now if I sshould spend the 3-4 months saving to pay that off and then apply for CDL school? That would mean I couldn't start CDL school until December or the first of the year which definitely sucks

 

I actually looked at them but saw that they don't have any locations in Alabama
