Roehl Transportation: Pro's Vs. Cons
Topic 9423 | Page 1
Hey Bill, I start CDL training with Roehl on July 20 in Marshfield, I'm really looking forward to it! I've been very pleased with the professionalism of the company, but that is my experiance.
What is your training date? I'm going flatbed national. Good luck on your quest.
I posted a previous forum Roehl July 20 you might be interested in with links to important documentation resources. Others found it helpful .
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.

Gary I don't have a start date yet but, I expect sometime early in August. I will be in the van division as a regional driver. Good luck. I like what I have heard and the people I have spoken to so far as well.
Regional:
Regional Route
Usually refers to a driver hauling freight within one particular region of the country. You might be in the "Southeast Regional Division" or "Midwest Regional". Regional route drivers often get home on the weekends which is one of the main appeals for this type of route.
Im in roehl's training right now. I came in with my cdl so its gonna be a little different, but i do know they prefer people come in and get thier cdl through them. My first class was today and it was just like being back in cdl school paperwork and physicals and drug tests and all that happy fun stuff. I talked to a few guys here to get thier cdls and they all said its a really good program. All the staff ive met have been professional and nice.
