My fleet manager decided to schedule me to take the final test for Phase 3 and the Roehl GYCDL training program. He will route me to a Roehl terminal next week for the test. If I test out successfully, I will exit the training and enter the Roehl national van fleet.

I'll be pullin' (well, cheering!) for ya, David K. ~

Awesome news! Rest up, don't 'rust up!'

Best wishes;

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.

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.

Fleet Manager:

Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager

The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.

September 22, 2021. I passed the close quarters evaluation and have been transferred out of Phase 3 training and into the national van fleet. Thanks for all the support, here
