Profile For Aaron S

So I just recently got visitation to see my daughter every other week, I'd like to become a truck driver. Any chances a company would work with me to where I get two days off every other weekend?

No. trucking needs a human touch.

If it had been a few months, cut your hair short.

No way! I don't have a feminine enough face to pull off a pixie haircut LOL

honestly didn't look at the name, otherwise I wouldnt have suggested that lol!

Whats the furthest you've gone so far if you dont mind me asking, and congrats man! Glad you are doing what you've been wanting to do for a long time.

Oh wow!! Might just have to give CFI a call and check that out

if you do let us know, I cant drive manual. And I was thinking about CFI aswell.

Oh ok. What all are you looking for in a company?

Miles, good pet policy, and decent pay. annnnd automatics haha

Just wondering. Are you going to roehl for flatbed? If so, check out maverick. My year here is almost complete. I live near Anderson off 85. We got lots of stuff out in SC so they may be a good fit for you.

id like to do dry van but whatever they are hiring for!

1,200 miles to my terminal.

Proximity to a terminal is irrelevant if you are an over the road driver. What is important is that you live in their "hiring area." That just means they deliver freight in your state - that is how they route you home for some time off. They will assign you a load that gets you near your home, then you drive the truck home.

Thank you for the information, appreciate it.

Hello, Young and aspiring trucker, the question is in the title. Is 430ish miles to far from a terminal? I am currently residing in SC, and the closest terminal to Roehl is in GA Conley. what is the distance between y'alls terminals? Thanks for taking the time to read this!

Hello, so I want to become a trucker and I am a pet lover and want to also be with me pet 24/7 - so win win. And here are Trucking companies that allow dogs , but is there a waiting period for getting the dog in your rig ? I understand there are deposits and so on, and is there anything that can disqualify you from having a pet with you?

This is unrelated, but I am from Chesapeake, VA myself. Deep Creek area. thats funny, haha

I live in Culpepper Landing.......

Use to live on old mill, behind the blue 711, I am currently residing in SC, but thanks for the offer on the other post.

Really love the pod cast! thanks for them and keep 'em coming, at your convenience !

Hello me and my friend were thinking about becoming team truckers, but is it really worth it? I mean, will we get paid as much as we would soloing, etc. Thats my only concern is that we would not get the money we would if we soloed

Hello, I am not sure if I have diabetes but if I do, would I be able to truck drive if on meds? Same with Cholesterol, blood pressure etc

Hello people of Truckingthurth.com, Just making this post for fun. What kind of dogs do/have you had ride with you? And how long did they ride with you ? Post a picture, and the funniest story if you have any of some goofy things they've done!

Salutations people of the internet! I have only one thing in this world, and that is my dog, Boscoe. I've done a bit of research and Roehl has a pet policy in place where you much apply and be accepted before being able to bring your pet. Just wondering if any Roehl drivers have had any conflicts with this application or if it has been smooth sailing.

Salutations people of Truckingtruth.com! I am very interested in become a driver for Roehl, the only issue is I live 215miles away from the closest terminal located in GA. However, I do live near a drop yard just a few 40 miles away from my house. Does anyone know if that will effect the decision of them hiring me or not?

Also, will companies keep me in the same truck instead of switching off every few weeks etc. and would I have to install the stuff id need/want like a mini mini fridge.
