Thinking about joining Roehl

I've been reading the posts and there seems to be a positive opinion of Roehl. I need CDL training and would like to attend the school in Marshfield, but wonder if it's worth the journey. I'm looking for some opinions first hand on RDTC and Roehl. Thanks in advance!!

 

I've been doing the same as you regarding research and comparison to all the freight companies. In my opinion, Roehl is pretty rock solid. There will always be those who are not content, but I've noticed that in a lot of cases negative comments are triggered by an incident and the author is simply venting. There will be good and bad comments made about all companies. If we spend the time gathering information, hopefully, we'll choose a company that has more positive than negative attribtutes.

Too much philosophy......

I've been on the "Roehlbound thread" gathering as much information as possible. I want to attend RDTC. I'll need to drive up there and I am putting together a budget. I haven't been working in a few months (just relocated to GA) so money isn't in great supply. Everyone's been great providing me with advice and what to watch out for. I'm selling off some pieces of equipment that I don't need anymore (cabinet shop stuff) in order to raise money for this career change. I only have 3 pieces left and once they're gone, I'll send in my paperwork.

I hate waiting around, but I don't have much choice. At least while I'm waiting I'm getting the CDL permit out of the way, and continuing with my exercise routine (mostly walking and diet change).

Assuming that you're still on track for a July 19th start date, I'd like to read your posts about your time there. The more information the better. If I'm lucky, I could end up in a class a week or two behind you.

Good luck at Roehl and keep posting.
