(Newbie) I have chosen Roehl for my CDL School. Please chime in on my rationale

Jeff I'm going to Joplin for orientation. Where are they sending you? I start waiting for a trainer Friday the 20th. Might still be waiting Monday the 22!

Has anybody ever heard of a company called Paul Transportation?

A flatbed company out of Tulsa. I had a recruiter visit our class. Sounded like a good company. I wasn't interested in flatbed. A student in the class before mine at graduation was headed to Milton. Instead he went with Paul. A couple students in my class went to orientation, I don't know if they are there.

Am I hired?

Not on the pay roll yet! But got several requirements out of the way. I believe I've picked the best company for me to start with. I would've liked better pay, but I didn't want to be out three to four weeks. Also didn't want to pull reefer or flatbed. Limited info for XPO and the 3 months experience is incorrect. They sponsor and hire new cdl holders right out of an approved school.

Jeff i just got my cdl. Failed first three times. I was contacted by XPO and was offered sponsorship. I had already committed to a start time. I'm starting orientation on Monday the 15th.

Back to the drawing board... XPO vs. CRST ... What are your thoughts?

I choose XPO. I based my choice on what the school instructors had to say.

Am I hired?

Monday the 15 I start orientation for XPO Logistics. I'm a bit nervous mostly about being with a trainer. Four days in orientation then wait until an available trainer gets to Joplin. Pay isn't great, but I'm getting home time. I haven't found much info about XPO but the instructors agreed one of the better big companies. Since I don't have a contract that makes me feel a bit more comfortable. I do plan on staying at least one year. They reimburse tuition on a monthly payment. I'll try to post updates, and hope I'm getting all I'm promised.

Failed CDL Skills Test For 3rd Time - What Now?

Monday you get to start practicing again. Don't spend aii your time on the 90. Odds are you won't get it. You'll pass the skills so get ready for the road.
