Profile For Hignz

Congrats on your new career decision. I'm just a few weeks ahead of you. I finished my Phase 1 at Roehl (also in Marshfield) this past Saturday. I was originally scheduled to start May 9th, but they had an opening and I was able to start on April 25th. Really good training program. The instructors are great. Nice hotel, the breakfast is pretty good there too. Then the box lunches aren't terrible, obviously any free food is better than nothing. I tested last Wed and passed my CDL, just went to my local BMV this morning and got it sent in to Roehl. Talked to my FTM (fleet training manager) today for the first time. Should be going out for Phase 2 within the next week or so once a Trainer Driver is set up for me. I'm nervous about being in such close quarters for so long, but I realize it's gotta happen. Hoping to get along well with him. I obviously can't answer any questions about your concerns yet since I haven't experienced it yet. But I do know that showers and stuff like that will be done at truck stops, and they have male and female facilities, so that shouldn't be an issue with your trainer. But if you want to know anything about Phase 1, I may be able to help.

Way to go, Sir! I'm a long way off from looking into a situation like yours. I just finished my 3 weeks of training at Roehl in Wisconsin and got my CDL. Gotta go out with a driver trainer soon for a few weeks. Seems you were doing your Wally World stuff while I was doing my Roehl training. I've always heard Walmart was a great company to work for, and even moreso driving for them. Nice to know they may be a good choice later on when I have some experience under my belt. Happy trails!
