Today completed phase 1 of training with Roehl. Phase 2 will begin sometime next week with driver trainer over the road. Phase 2 will last 19-25 days. Hopefully will be with Reefer driver since I'll be driving reefer once I'm solo. Will keep everyone posted here on the daily updates of life on the road!
Exciting stuff, ain't it ?!?
Still following; wishing you well ~!!!
OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.

Best of luck, BadgerLand! I hope you get a great trainer.
Stay safe & have fun!
They usually try to put you with a similar trainer. However swinging a door is swinging a door from a driving point of view. There is a rare chance you may end up with a curtainside trainer like me but that is only if there aren't any van or reefer. If you end up with a curtainside trainer if you can back a spread axle your reefer will be a cake walk. Lol. Good luck!

We'll help you make the right choices and prepare for a great start to your trucking career.
