Not really a question, but a thank you. I didn't realize the importance of staying with your starter company for at least a year until I almost fell for the "we can give you more cents per mile" script from a competitor. I researched this topic within this great group, and bam! There was a forum with an individual last year bashing Roehl to justify his reasoning to leave and jump to JB Hunt after barely doing three months with Roehl after the GYCDL program.
Roehl has been good to me in my four months solo, and six months with them total, but I have noticed company's will promise you the world to jump ship, but leave you holding the 7 000 bag. You guys and women, have great information and knowledge within this group. I guess you can say I was scared straight..lol.
Thanks again and Happy Thanksgiving.
