I'm here

I've made it up here and I'm ready to get going.

Today's the day, I'm leaving for Marshfield, WI to attend Roehl's student driver program. Wish me luck, gonna be a LONG time away from home but I'm ready.

I am here now Chris. Just completed my first week. Great people here at Roehl and the people that are in classes now are great too.

How is it?

11-14 home 3-4

I'm leaving in 2 days for Marshfield,Wisconsin to participate in the training there. Pretty excites but super nervous. Any pointers for a newbie like myself. Any Roehl drivers/personnel that attended or work for Roehl. Tia and wish me luck

Jon, I'm a flat-bed driver at Western Express, and as far as I know they don't have a lease/purchase program anymore. Maybe I'm missing something, I can't seem to keep up with everything that goes on around here. I do really well, and they keep my wheels turning. With your experience are they insisting that you go out with a trainer for a short period, or are they willing to put you in a truck and let you roll?

Are y I have still with them Old School

Being a company driver, how do the scale tickets get paid. Driver responsibility or company reimbursement

Any Prime drivers that lease who could PM me, I've got a few questions

We all know you guys can make a knot with it, right? That's how you hold it in for so long....lol

Kidding asides, when you have to go and you're stuck in traffic, there's no escape. Now I figure that the guys can just grab an empty container and...you know. Us ladies...we can't do that. Specially if we're alone in the vehicle/truck and behind the wheel. I know there's a device sold in some natural health stores (Wholefoods) where you can slip it underneath you and pee "standing like a man"...lol but still, probably not that easy when you're behind the wheel and you need to lower your pants.

Also, I wake up a few times at night to go. It keeps me from sleeping if I don't. I don't see myself getting dressed, exiting the truck in the dark of night, walk to the bathroom at the truck stop, come back....you lose a good amount of sleep that way. Is there just enough room in the truck to keep a small portable/compact potty?

5 gallon bucket, small garbage bags and a pool noodle for cushion.
