    I wash mine once a week with pride, my company washes it every weekend and I wash it once through the week.

    My truck is nothing special, short hood 379 with a 48" stand up sleeper and a 260" wb, it doesnt have a ton of chrome or lights but it stays clean ya know...

    Are you sure about that? I called Roehl and the recruiter told me that they no longer participate in the VA Apprenticeship program. An extra $1100 a month tax free while working at TMC would sure make a difference for me. And, there's no doubt you'll learn how to tarp, and wash yer truck, and stay off the grass...

    The Recruiter is correct, we used to, now our ex-military program, I believe is, "Here's a sticker for your truck."

    The difference is that TMC pays for thier trucks to get washed once a month at the truckwash, Roehl makes the driver wash it. It's not too hard to keep a truck clean when all you have to do is pull into a bay and tell them to clean it up......

    Roehl has automated wash bays at all the terminals. You don't have to hand wash it, but after you're done you usually wish you had. lol
     
    SHC, CAXPT and Cheryl Thank this.
