Topic 746 | Page 1
Congrats on the start to a new career. Keep us posted on your progress. I am relatively new to trucking and I am heading to Iowa at the end of June to go to TMC's orientation, so I enjoy reading updates from people that are in the same boat as me and just starting their careers out.
Nice job. Good choice going with Roehl. I am sure you will be happy. Keep us updated on how their training is structured. It'll be a lot harder than CDL school I can tell you that! lol.

Great job KwessanC. Best of luck with Roehl.

Congratulations! Roehl is a really great place to get your start. We've seen several people go through Roehl's training and get their careers started there. We've always heard good things from those folks.

Hey congrats!!!
You don't have much time, but you should start working feverishly on learning all you can before school starts with our High Road Training Program. I see you're about 6% of the way now. It will benefit you in a big way to get through as much as you can.
