    Job Overview

    We'll pay you while you train for your CDL in this truck driving training job.

    Time for a Job Change?
    Make more of yourself and for yourself. Roehl Transport will pay you to get your CDL & earn a great a living as a professional truck driver.

    If you are considering a job change and want a professional career, choose the transportation industry. No matter what you were doing, becoming a professional driver creates great opportunities.

    Trucking companies across America advertise for free truck driver training. Our program is better because Roehl will pay you and train you while you get your CDL Class A, the license you need to drive a commercial motor vehicle.

    Roehl drivers are on track to make $70,000+!
    Here are the basics of the program:

    • Training to obtain your CDL is part of the job.
    • You are hired and paid as an employee on day 1.
    • You’ll be paid while you get your CDL.
    • Your CDL training is three weeks and is available in multiple locations.
    • We provide lodging and most meals.
    • After you have your CDL, you'll continue your on-the-job training as a long haul truck driver.
    • If you were to go to a CDL school, you would not get paid while you are training AND you'd have to come up with the tuition for the school.
    • We're a stable company that provides full benefits - we invest in you.
    Where does CDL training take place?
    We have multiple locations available.....

    Roehl Transport Phoenix Terminal

    Phoenix, AZ 85043

    We're currently accepting applications for these opportunities. Roehl's been training truck drivers for 30 years, and we've been in business for 60 years. We have a two-year registered apprenticeship program that is approved by the Department of Labor and the Department of Veterans Affairs.

    Swift said they would have to put this down as a failed drug test if I didn’t go through with it and they would report it. They said I won’t be able to drive for 10 years. I don’t know if this is true, but this is what I was told.

    I believe I’m too old to join the military, what is the cut off age?

    Hair tests are not sent to the clearinghouse. Tell Swift where to stick it and go find another carrier! Get all your prescription history ready.

    Are there any other companies out of Phoenix that doesn’t hair test? I can also trim my hair which I believe would solve the problem. I believe I haven’t taken this drug since the beginning of October.

    I talked to Prime, but I believe they are out of Utah, which is where I should have went to instead of coming to Phoenix.

    I believe one reason for this, hair tests are not reliable or accurate. Do a search on this if you do not believe what I am saying; I have a very close relative that has been in the medical field for over 20 years and she "shocked" me one day when she made this assertion, so I did a little research and sure enough, she is right.

    Too many other options out there that will NOT make a person go through all this BS.

    Not sure, maybe 38 to 42. Each branch has their own cutoff age. I think the Marines is 36.

    Found this:
    Federal law has established the maximum military age limit to age 42, although each service branch has the flexibility to establish their own age limits within the federal age limit. The minimum age you can choose to enlist in the military is 17 with the written consent of a parent or 18 without parental consent.
    ~
    I will add this; lots of waivers being granted right now for people wanting to join the military, but not sure if age can be waivered or not.
    Best years of my life was in the Navy.
    ~
    Here's the Coast Guard:
    One must be between the age limits of 18 and 39 in order to join the US Coast Guard.
    Some people call them "shallow-water" sailors, but that's not even close to the truth. They travel all over the world. Saw one Coast Guard ship off the African coast one time.
    Those guys were fighting in Vietnam before the US Navy got there.
