    If Roehl will take you, go for it. Hell if K&B will take you, I'd take it too. 14 months is not a whole lot of experience. 3 companies is something serious. Try real hard to stick with Roehl. At that rate of company jumping, you'll have to question if this is the right line of work

    Oh it is. I'm not the problem. 20.000 gross 11 months...you'd look for a different carrier. It should speak volumes that i stayed with them 12.5 months. The second carrier was disgustingly unorganized and unsafe with zero communication. I knew during my first week that i needed to run from this company. I had a bit of a rough start. With 2 weeks going from never before touching a semi to "here's your first assignment", I'm very fortunate that i ONLY had minor incidents. I am a loyal, hard working individual with work ethics you don't normally see in today's world. I love driving. It makes me happy. Everyone has to start somewhere. I can't stand the ignorance of some people who believe you're born knowing how to drive semi. Guess what: you were new once too. I've become outstanding at my job. I'm Very serious about my career and it shows. Please stop trying to discourage newer drivers. Do you give up every time you learn something new and it takes you a little time to perfect it?? No one is job hopping here. I will always protect my CDL and life first. If that makes me look unstable, there's a problem- and it's not me. I'm looking for and WILL find a good company. A company I will drive for until i can't physically drive anymore. That Company is out there; I'll find it. Without jumping around

    Why is everyone afraid of night driving?

    I'm not sure but night driving is part of the game in this kind of work. You gotta be ready 24/7. I love the night driving personally

    ROEHL is advertising all over the place. Craigslist is full of advertising, recruiting drivers galore.

    I've never heard of Roehl ever shutting those cameras off...I know of a driver there for 20 years who still had his turned on...They use them to "coach you"

    I drove for Great Plains and told them I'm not a night driver. I think I drove at night about 5 times while I was there 18 months. Yes, there are some places you can get by without having to drive at night.

    If I could do night driving, I would. I love driving at night when no one is around. Unfortunately my body says it's time to sleep, and it won't listen to compromises.
