Starting with Roehl in February

Its pretty much split up at this point, ive been getting miles but being flatbed our loads aren't going that far, I can only speak for my experience but i drove about 300 the other day and 100-200 every other day. I saw your other post about your trip details, what terminal do they want to send you to? As far as transportation goes i thought they would be covering the trip out just not the trip back if your going by bus.

 

Who are you driving for? Millis has a much better school

 

It's funny when a seen to be attractive female ask for help not only has Chinatown not been paged but soon to be drivers and other new drivers who aren't qualified yet lol.

Also I'm good see profile picture

 

Oh well, atleast you are working with a good company. Got any other questions let me know, ill do the best with the limited knowledge and experience i have so far.

 

I read the comment posted and IMHO find it arrogant. Unless I am missing the intent, it appears to imply that people getting ready to start this profession are 'not worthy of commenting'. While I only have limited experience driving a commercial vehicle (1990-1991 working for a drywall supply company) I do have 20 years working in max prisons. Those 20 years have taught a lot of lessons in life. Arrogance and condescension are things I left on the curb a long time ago. They tend to get heavy carrying around and inevitably bite you where the sun doesn't shine. The world is full of people who are full of themselves, I truly wish them the best of luck, I've found they'll often need it.

 

As training companies go, Roehl is a good choice. A lot of the better companies won't take you until you have some time on the road, under your wheels. A lot of us start trucking later in life, for the same reason you did; it's one of the few professions that does not discriminate against people for having a few miles of wear on them.

I think that we may be misleading you with our kindness, however. You really should be prepared for the first year or two to be an exercise in learning to deal with being treated as a cheap commodity by people who have no concept what the challenges are, that you will face, on the road, and who could not do your job if they wanted to, which they don't. Turnover is high in trucking for good reasons, and not everyone is as nice as we are...

Be prepared. Know when to stand your ground, and when to bend. There is a time for both, and you will likely have to stand ground against people who think that they are your boss, more often than it sounds as though you are used to.

 

Nah nothing personal there is the ultimate job finder here and his name is Chinatown. We just don't know each other outside of here. I am the same age and if that is your picture you are an attractive lady. Sometimes just don't read too far into my posts lol
