Roehl Pay Scale
Topic 15925 | Page 1
I think van starts out at 34 or 36 cpm. Reefer is 2 cpm higher and flatbed is like 5 cpm higher than reefer if I remember right. I'm too lazy to dig out my book and they might have gone up in the past year. As for how long it takes to max out I'm not sure. Its all based on performance over longevity. Too performers will max out way quicker than average guys who just wait for longevity to catch up.
CPM:
Cents Per Mile
Drivers are often paid by the mile and it's given in cents per mile, or cpm.
Reefer:
A refrigerated trailer.
You can find the information you are looking for in our Roehl Transport, Inc. Company Review as well as on the Roehl website.

I have been looking at Roehl because of their focus on safety and excellent training that doesn't require team driving
(I can't help you with the information you ask for.)
Every company is focused on safety, for sure! But there are many companies that team you for training for a few months, then you are free to solo or team as you wish. If you read through the Trucking Truth material on Roehl: Roehl Transport Company-Sponsored CDL Training Program and the Roehl Transport, Inc. Company Review, as well as Roehl's own CDL Training & Truck Driving Schools, they do say it's not "team". But you will be on the road for up to two weeks with your Certified Trainer. That means you'll be both living in the truck the entire time.
For some people, this may be a more comfortable choice than the Team training.
CDL:
Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
- Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
- Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.
It's not up to 2 weeks. It's at least 2 weeks. If you aren't comfortable or you fail to test out they will send you out for another 2 weeks with another trainer. I was with my trainer for 18 days. He tried to get them to let me test out after 10 because he thought I was ready but they wouldn't let me so we took a few more loads before we could get routes back to a terminal.
Terminal:
A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.

@Jakebreak, on the road were you both "on duty", then slept at the same time, without the rotation of teams?

Technically that's how it would work. After the first 3 or 4 days when my trainer realized that I knew how to drive he would wait a couple hours before he logged on duty. There only has to be an overlap of 6 hrs on duty for both the trainer and trainee. But it was nothing like teaming. If I wasn't driving I was in the jumpseat and when I was driving he was in the jumpseat no matter what the logs said lol. Basically we did everything we could to keep the truck moving 14 hrs a day while conserving our 70. And we always took at least a 10 hr break.

I'm not looking to contact recruiters this early, as I can't start in this industry until next July (under contract in my current job until then). I have been looking at Roehl because of their focus on safety and excellent training that doesn't require team driving. Could someone tell me the CPM for dry van drivers right out of training? I would also like to know the max CPM for dry van and how long it takes to get their. I know they have a program based on performance, not just longevity.
Dry Van:
A trailer or truck that that requires no special attention, such as refrigeration, that hauls regular palletted, boxed, or floor-loaded freight. The most common type of trailer in trucking.CPM:
Cents Per Mile
Drivers are often paid by the mile and it's given in cents per mile, or cpm.
