Welcome aboard Glen!
We get a lot of great feedback from people who go with Roehl so I'm confident you can do well there. They have some really great features, that's for sure!
And we'd love for you to document your time with them. That would be awesome!
That sounds great! I am originally from the Jonesboro/Rex area and I have looked into Roehl also. Good Luck! I look forward to hearing all about Roehl
Glen congrats sir!!!!! I haven't regretted for one second coming to Roehl. I know I'm still new but been with them through school and hired on since Nov 4 and met lots of folks already. The instructors in Ellenwood are great folks. I'm sure you will enjoy working with them. The hotel they put you in is extremely nice as well. Not sure why you would want to leave Ga for Ny, but ok. We have tons of NE freight in van and flatbed I know, not sure on refer. I can give you a contact if you want that was a refer division FM. She can give you the ins/outs of that fleet if your interested. I'm doing an eastern dedicated now and am loving it. Feel free to PM me if I can help with anything.

Beginning Company Sponsored Training with Roehl

Company Sponsored Training:
A Company-Sponsored Training Program is a school that is owned and operated by a trucking company.
The schooling often requires little or no money up front. Instead of paying up-front tuition you will sign an agreement to work for the company for a specified amount of time after graduation, usually around a year, at a slightly lower rate of pay in order to pay for the training.
If you choose to quit working for the company before your year is up, they will normally require you to pay back a prorated amount of money for the schooling. The amount you pay back will be comparable to what you would have paid if you went to an independently owned school.
Company-sponsored training can be an excellent way to get your career underway if you can't afford the tuition up front for private schooling.
Hey, we may be classmates! I am going for my physical for Roehl this week. I think I will be starting the 2nd week of March. Hope to see you there!
Opppps.... I am going to be school in WI! Well, maybe I will see ya on the roads. Good Luck!

On relocating from GA to NY. It's not really my desire to relocate to NY but I recently got married and my wife is from that area. She has two children from a previous marriage that I now consider my own. She was born and raised in NY and it's her desire to return there and raise the children in that area. So, since marriage, in my opinion, is a lot of give and take that you try to keep equal I have agreed that for the next 9 years or so until the children graduate high school that we will live where she wish's to live. Once the youngest graduates high school then at that point I can choose where we live. I'm currently thinking of the Eden NC area, a nice home in the mountains perhaps and that would put us both approximately half way to our respective home areas. This will also happen right around the time I am reaching retirement (if I do) age.
Thank you for all the kind words and advice. I would appreciate that contact info for the refer division FM. It never hurts to know what to expect in advance.

Finished all the preliminary background checks and was offered a job with Rhoel Transport. I'm looking forward to orientation in Ellenwood as soon as I finish my CDL School in late February or early March. I'm opting for the refrigerated fleet but may switch to flatbed after 6 months or so. My home will be in Delhi NY after I start. I would be very interested in hearing from other Rhoel drivers and learning all I can from them.
If time permits I will write a day by day of my orientation as well as my training. I'm confident I have picked a great starter company that has the potential for being the only company I will have to work for. Going to give it my all and I enter this with no expectations other than being given the opportunity to work and prove myself.
