Up in North Ga looking for a job with Roehl, are you still with them?
Agree
Any update u been quiet my friend
anyone know what endorsements and restrictions are on the cdl they provide?
Hey man, just wondering if you’re still at Roehle.. I’m thinking about starting but the nearest terminal is 5 hours from me. So if there’s big negatives you’ve found I would love to know them! Thanks
I went to Riehl It was a pretty interesting endeavor to save at least but I guess it is true Having the. Right? Trainer does make. A difference?. I was out of Gary Indiana terminal.. What's supposed to go to wisconsin. Which I would have preferred had the opportunity presented itself? Biochenes are things within the way. I was driving my own vehicle up by thought I had enough money for the fuel to get there. Can you make it a whole thing? What's just a mess hotness?. But I went through the 3 weeks. Don't go During. holidays if you can avoid it. It was mentioned before now I see why.. And I also was a day behind that didn't help.. Ends I didn't have the best trainer. Honestly he wasn't hands-on as much as others were with other students that were out there from from what I was seeing briefly before going back to Studying on my Pre trip When is c people that weren't really backing up? Well. Start backing up like a pro I knew something that was wrong. When we weren't out there on the range?. Part of it was my fault for not being there on time the other trying that to get this Coronavirus her apparently was running rampant. I just think I showed at the wrong time that's just me.. But for those that are there study study study if you have a problem with your online Tests that you have to take make sure you let them know that there's a problem when it isn't working at a certain time a night.. Because? Then. During the day? If. You? Got. A try to keep up? They're gonna probably have you go into one of their computer rooms and finish it there? There's a bunch of combinations that were all wrong when I went there. I should have just said I don't see this working right now I should have picked up on that sooner. I'm pretty good with stuff like this but I thought I could Do it anyways.. After all next school. Got? My CDL. Andy instructors were a little bit different little bit more hands-on kind of distracting But affective.. And that's how I got my CDL. But I did want to work for roehl. And circumstances did arise my living situation was a problem apparently.. That I really didn't have any control Uber his things would have been different if that had happened that way but it didn't and now I got to spend Prove of my innocence. In this situation.. I was working out pretty well names were too easy and I. Said? This too. My trainer before I got a phone call. Am I heart literally sank to my feet. I said to my trainer This seemed to me to be way too easy everything with firing on all cylinders but backing was getting better. We were going in that a shipper is dropping the paperwork. Getting locations the drop off and pick up trailers. Everything was good till that phone call.. Here's a parently I must be sleepwalking or living in alternate life. Because all I have to say I know 400% Certainty that identifies in any way but because in my living situation and the parties involved that are still at my house because on my roommate. Put me in a project a minute I don't think anyone. Should have to go through?. And it's sick for people that absolutely know about people like this and do nothing about it. Especially the cops are sworn to protect but apparently are useless as a Tit on a bull 4 different times help scratch that 5 different times. Yet nothing is still done. They know who they are and this is why I'm here talking about it because of them.. Here waking up and taking a shower again ready to go out takes on a whole new meaning I guess.. And they say why did any you leave? It's good if I had the money to do so or if I had another place to go sure no problem. But not having money not having a location to go to. And on top of that I didn't think I was there that long enough for it to be relevant. But apparently Gordon coo online and there's a lot of things that you land minds that I didn't know could have Turning the test into a Positive That. I could have prevented it if I had known more about being around pupils. That actually are the problem and minimizing the risk. I didn't find his own until after the fact. When the things I could have done and I was figuring it out in my head because I had no idea and now I have to spend money to prove. My innocence ridiculous.. And avoid hard. Surfaces or clean heart services don't use bleach don't use AC if these people are already around. Washington did this hand sanitizers? And keep it Them away from your bedroom.. I wish this was an excuse I wish this was a fictional story. But the cops in your area should be able to remove these people. If somebody says no they can stay when they had obviously have a an addiction they need to take care of they should be automatically removed from the Property.. Because they are a risk and a danger to everyone around them and let's just say my roommate passed away last month.. He had a bad heart and what they were using wasn't helping.. Just think that people should have a heads up when addiction should be not tolerated but should be dealt with so nobody has to deal with these people in. This manner again by going to rehab or jail. Because that's where they need to be not on the streets. That the government should be a thorn in their side and they're not and now. I have to pay for my innocence because I lived in this house for 5 years they didn't. And now I like to have another opportunity but because the problem was positive still don't know how even though I did look at up and it did kind of make sense and how the sequences are of events they'd happen. And little that I know because I was not even I felt you have to be taking it in order to have it but apparently that is really truly not the. Case in they're not going to tell you that.. Because I could have somebody arrested for poisoning in this case. None of this c*** was ever in this house until this person showed up.. And are crony friends?. And where to go with no money? What to do with no money? This is where I am at.. What have been grade if I had the opportunity to prove myself without going through this c***? But because you're around people they think that you are assuming you are using. Which is further from the truth? 48 years old why would I start now? Why? Why why?.. And it aggravates me to know and that people actually believe you're using. When you're Not. Because of somebody else.. Because my Main goal what's to be on the wall in the whole way with the rest of the Million miles drivers.. That's all I wanted.
Did you do any parallel backing during your training or is it only offset ally and straight back?
when do you get your first pay check
They definitely did not pay for our flights. Hotel yes.
Hey I was wondering how many hair follicle test did you have to take I don’t want to keep getting my hair cut out😂
Bro, just stop doing drugs. Your on EVERY video reviewing ROEHL asking the same question.. just clean up your act and have peace of mind going into it
They cut the hair from your taint.
What time do you have to be there because I get off at 6:30 am and I work like 15 minutes away from my Conley terminal trying to see would I have to change my schedule a little
Hey man . Any update ?
Update? How’s the pay?
Protip hopefully you catch on fast …. Stop fuking banging you hands the drum sounds is stupid loud so loud that its like a drummer right in the room….. protip 2 stop waving you hands all over the place like a pissed off wife youre sitting 3 ft from the camera if that
Hey how are you being.
I feel you on tge end brother. Im 30 married with a 1 year old daughter and it’s definitely a tear jerker for me it sucks
I'm going to Appleton, WI week after next. Super nervous but also super excited!
Are the trucks automatics? Or 10 speed? Thanks.
Auto
Hey bro where is this schools locations at?
I would love to rack your brain for a minute I’m in public safety and am looking for a change enough is enough doing this time for new scenery and new views and all
Do they pay for transportation to training? If you had to flight out..
What hotspot do you use for your internet?
What's the training pay while training with a mentor?
What’s good y’all, I’ll be on my way out there Monday. What should I expect?
Thanks for the awesome videos. Is the pay good? Do they equip the trucks with inward facing cameras?
Hiw mamy miles do you run a week? Good pay? Isn there a camera facing you mounted on the truck?
Yes there is a camera but it is only triggered in shock events like hard braking.
They way the rules are written on 30 min break you can’t do anything work related like checking load I know it’s stupid lolol not saying that’s how I run just what the FMCSA says
Hey man. Just found your video. Nice work. I almost went with roehl a year ago when I started. If you don’t mind me asking. Where are you from? If you live in the Pennsylvania Ohio area I can get you something a whole lot better as long as you keep that license clean
So you test week 3
i can break down anything u want to kno about roehl, who my fm's were all that. all i cud make it from cdl program to gettn my own trucc was 6 months!! they really be getting over man.

@@dakingataleedo i mean. i ran flatbed bro, buuut they really control everything. its been years since i been there but i was at what 47.5cpm than with tha per diem is was like 52cpm plus 30 dollars to throw a steel tarp and 50 to throw a lumber....i mean it was decent. idk what type money ur used to in lyfe buuut i think my biggest checc after taxes was like 1400/1500 but than in turn ya next week will be 700...and u got to stay on their ass cuz they sure do "forget" to pay u for shit....get your experience and run bro thats all ima say. i trained in gary and shit was top notch...but to they aint jus gon hand u a cdl bro. they will send a muh fucca home quicc fast
9:40 They pay half of the $112
You forgot to talk about the ELDT JJ Keller videos you need to watch and complete by the end of week 2.
Great video I start roehl transport on January 30 I’m excited 👍
Good information. I just finished Phase 1 last week, starting Phase 2 next week.
Where is this terminal at I ask the recruiter if there is a bus to take u to the terminal and he said no to the on in Indiana
Thanks for the vids man I’m leaving to Indiana site in April
You're welcome. I hope you enjoy it and good luck!
@@rcandba thank you, you’re the only one I’ve seen on YT that actually made recent vids about it, I appreciate it bro
I'm not poking fun, but that pay is awful low. That's gotta be less than 2k miles per week, right? At .56 cpm? I was making more at Crete, just running dry van in 2016. Can you confirm what kind of miles your averaging?
Between 2-2.5k miles a week. Ive only had one week with less that 2k miles. My last two checks have been around the $1200 area and that is after taxes and benefits have been taken out. I get the most taken out of taxes and have alot coming out for benefits as well. Sorry if it isn't high for you, but I am happy with it!
@@rcandba thanks for the video u saying in the comments $1200 but u said in the video something different which one
@@CakedadyCakedaddy it's both, I was stating that my last couple of checks were around 1200, but the average is around what I said in the video.
Those numbers are take home or gross?
Those were take home numbers that I mentioned.
I was waiting for this video . Thnx
You're welcome!
Thank you for explaining, thinking about joining in January. How did you decide to go on their flatbed team? Do i have to tell them I want to do flatbed?
I talked to my recruiter about it, and told her that I was interested in flatbed!
@@rcandba thank you, last question, when on training can you train as many hours as you can on the truck? I struggle on the backing so I hope they let me train until I get it.
@@AlexMedina567 if you are talking about the 3 week cdl course, you either back or drive everyday. If you ask them to have some more backing time, im sure they wouldn't mind. While you're with your driver trainer, yall can back as much as yall like as long as yall got time for it!
@@rcandba yes correct! Thx for the info! Sending my DOT and CLP now. Hopefully starting in couple weeks! HNY!
Do they have cameras in the truck looking at you and what happens to your car when you start driving with them are you allowed to leave your car at the terminal for a while?
I’ve read they have driver facing cameras. But not sure if they record on loop or if it sends back to office
You can leave your personal vehicle at the terminal while you are on the road. The cameras do face both ways, but only goes off and records when it is activated by an event. I will go over that in my next video.
So I just have my drug test to finish and then ill be done with all of the pre employment stuff. I do have some questions I may have missed from my recruiter or from other videos but how does pay work through the 3 week course? Do you get paid throughout or do you have to wait?
Congrats! And yes you do get paid during the 3 week training, it's approximately $615ish a week before taxes. They do not start paying you until week 3 though. So your week 1 pay won't hit your bank account until week 3, and then you will get paid weekly from then on.
@@rcandba I don't get to start with them anymore...
@@loganconkright2701 if you don’t mind me asking, what happened?
@@e.nichols5380 yea so illinois if you have 2 infractions under 21 they suspend your license well mine got suspended and it hasn't been 3 years since. I'm not in the process for hirschbach I won't lie theirs isn't as impressive but the time to you have to stay with them is alot shorter than roehl
@@loganconkright2701 gotcha, thanks for responding. Was curious as I’m about start the process. Stick with it, don’t let a minor setback get you off track.
Glad to see you back
Thanks man!
Great video man. Plan on starting with rohel in the next month or so. Your videos have been the best I’ve found on the company. Looking forward to the next video. I know you talked about how the home time works wondering if its still the same. Let’s us know about pay after phase 3 if you can. Also are you allowed to make stops where you want? If I want to stop at a gym at night is that allowed? Also drop a referral code to the company if you have one. Thanks man!
@@danielhembree6453 any idea when you start and where you'll be?
@@loganconkright2701 no not yet. Talked to a recruiter yesterday. Talking my cdl permit test next week. Already passed it earlier this year before to new rules came out and didn’t have my birth certificate. Recruiter said they’ll set up a phone interview. If all goes well I hope to start end of January start of February
@@danielhembree6453 oh cool! Just got my call I start the 9th
You mentioned that you gave your former employee the standard 2 week notice. Can go through this program while employed? Or was just when your were getting your Commercial Learners Permit? Thanks!
Just when you were taking the test to get your learners permit. Once you start the program you are hired as an employee with them on day 1.
@@rcandba gotcha. That makes sense. Thank you and happy holidays.
Hey man just watched a few of your videos. Looking forward to the update!
