Sent Home From Roehl
Topic 33013 | Page 1
Do you have your Learners Permit or an actual license now?
Because, because, because. How is a new company or private school going to be different this time? If you weren't ready, it was your job to speak up. It was on you to ask for more help. You may wind up getting into a stand alone driving school for lots of $$$$, but that doesn't promise a job afterwards. Good luck to you.
I went thru roehl cdl school they sent me home because I didn’t pass the pre cdl test I didn’t do all 3 backing maneuvers in 20 minutes I kept timing out on the alley dock which I only practiced 3 times because the class before me all failed their pre cdl and then took extra time backing and also it took me an extra day to learn the offset. Roehl is on my DAC report I’m rehireable but I have to get my cdl elsewhere. I’m having a hard time getting into a school because roehl is on there what company would training me?
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.
DAC:
Drive-A-Check Report
A truck drivers DAC report will contain detailed information about their job history of the last 10 years as a CDL driver (as required by the DOT).
It may also contain your criminal history, drug test results, DOT infractions and accident history. The program is strictly voluntary from a company standpoint, but most of the medium-to-large carriers will participate.
Most trucking companies use DAC reports as part of their hiring and background check process. It is extremely important that drivers verify that the information contained in it is correct, and have it fixed if it's not.
Just pay for it out of pocket and go to a private driving school.

Went to their Marshfield location back in March of 2021. Literally the last class of using manual trucks. Was to much for me, I couldn't even do an offset. Passed my pre-trip and driving on Friday, I did 6 pullups on my straight line back and was so ****ed I just went to try the off set and the instructor starts yelling at me, and I said I'm done. It was 1 trainer for the 2 of us. My buddy was struggling with shifting/driving and I was struggling with backing. So the middle of the second week they gave each of us 1 trainer for 2 days. I still made no progress with backing.
I saulked for a month and still had a desire to get my cdl. I paid $5,395 out of pocket for Interstate trucking school in Minnesota. They use/test on pups. They also have an outdoor backing range. You schedule 1 hour sessions. I did 13 1 hour sessions in 3 weeks. This program was a Godsend for me. Not sure I would have picked up backing if I went to another regular company/school.

Do you have your Learners Permit or an actual license now?
I have an learners permit
I’m a little confused. You were in week 2 and having issues, but people from week three were getting extra training therefore cutting into your training time. So they sent you home instead of the ones that actually failed???
Maybe I’m cynical and a little biased, but I get the feeling there is more to the story. Seems a bit odd.
All you can do is apply to other schools and see who will take you at this point.
I was trained and got my CDL with Roehl, and my experience was just the opposite. Roehl takes training very seriously and gives you literally everything you need to learn and pass the test. Unless there are some paperwork or personal attitude issues it is very difficult to be sent home by this company. Are you telling the whole story? Which location were you trained at?

the entire week 3 class failed the pre cdl three was give more time to practice and took it again 3 of us failed our pre cdl twice and was sent home without getting to practice backing my only guess is they wanted to get back on track.
