Which Is The Least Terrible Company Sponsored Truck Driver Training?

Roehl is a good company. BUT you need to have a Trans Union credit score of 500 or better in order to qualify for their financed training. Just FYI.

 

If your score is lower, they allow a co-signer on the note. One of my recruits for Roehl had to take this route.

You don't hear a lot about Roehl on here because they really do try to do what's best for their drivers. Are they always perfect, NO but they seem to be better than most. I think a lot of this has to do with the fact that for the most part its still a family owned and operated company. Son of the founder is running the company and it looks like his son may take over someday as well.

One great thing about Roehl is that they will never ask you to compromise safety for the load. They guard their high safety rating as the most important company value and its the cornerstone of the company.

Usually when you hear negatives about Roehl, its from a driver who was fired for violating safety policies.

 

If you live in Ohio, look into Millis Transfer as well. They have company training. Take $20 a week out of your check after you go solo. Only drawback is you agree to stay a year but other than that, plenty of happy drivers there.

 

Shoot for Millis, kid. They have a school in Trenton, which is where one of their yards is. You living in Dayton will put you in a good spot for home time. And after you've completed your 1 year, the door is open for you. Dick Lavy and Pohl both have their headquarters not to far from Dayton and both offer good home time. Like every weekend, and you living there, possibly once or twice during the week.

 

I've done months and months of research on training companies and Millis stands out far from the others. I will be going to Millis for their school June 11th in Trenton, OH
