I got a definite start date for Roehl's company sponsored training of Nov. 9th. I could have started next month but wife and I have already paid for a vacation to Mexico with in-laws (brothers and parents). I am sooo ready to start. I wish I could've got in earlier but, the Oct. date would've been 3wks in to training. Roehl has been great to work with throughout it all. I am fortunate that I got a call so fast (2 hours) from them after I applied online. They were the only company I applied to. I have read great things about them and look forward to starting a career with a company as great as Roehl.

I too am an Illinois resident that is going to Roehl too. I asked Stephanie from Roehl the same thing. She has told me they have everything ironed out and if I was to have problems at local DMV to give her a call, they have a contact within Jesse Whites office.

I have experience in beverages sales. Are you talking about bulk delivery? Or are you looking at route deliveries? In route deliveries it all depends on your sales person or the preferred drink in your area. You are paid in the quantity that is delivered. I would always take care of my driver and or their backstock to help them out on slow weeks

I have not started driving yet. I am scheduled to start my company driving school in November. I have been a car salesman for 6 yrs. I have drove local back when I was 18 yrs old and off and on through the yrs. I had to give up my CDL when I moved to Illinois because I did not have access to a tractor at the time. The reason for the decision to go OTR is that I am tired of having to deal with the public in a retail setting. The newer people working with me think I have a sign saying "Tell me your problems" on my office door. I just want to be out on the road and not having to talk or listen to anyones problem.

Congratulations Gary. I have got a start date for school through Roehl. It will be nice having a neighbor driving for the same company

I applied to a company that has is offering CDL Training. Everything is a go. I got a date to start training BUT the job I applied for they didnt offer me. I applied for a dedicated route that puts me 2 hrs from home and 30 mins from my son. That gets me home 34-48hrs. Also my decision for that is I am new at OTR and feel this would be the best way to adjust to my new career. They offered me a regional that puts me home 24-48 hrs 80%. They said I will have to talk to the fleet manager after I start. Should I be more persistent to get the dedicated route?
