Just something to think about. Trainers are here to train you. If you come in not willing to listen, we aren't going to deal with you for very long. 2 years total driving experience with a couple carriers, sorry if it pisses you off that I take pride in my work and expect that from you as well. I'm not sugar coating anything for anyone. Best of luck.
I've been driving for about 4 months I have seen a lot of truck drivers with bad habits with examples you spoke of. I also have my shortcomings but I try to identity those and build those around safety. Safety is key with everything to do with a truck.
You seem to be like a good trainer just based on initial impressions from this video. If I ever decided to get into trucking I wouldn’t mind learning from you
I understand that the trainer needs to know what’s going on around that vehicle but if the mirrors are strategically placed and adjusted for you in the passenger seat, it would seem they’re most definitely not adjusted properly for the person in the driver seat. Which would mean the driver probably didn’t pre trip correctly. “I have 6 mirrors. They are all properly mounted, not damaged, clean and properly adjusted.”
@@Daytimetruckn No problem man. I’ve been subscribed for probably around 6 months now. I just finished my gycdl in Marshfield on Saturday. Gonna handle the dmv stuff for my CDL tomorrow. Then it’s just a waiting game until I can get a trainer. Be safe out there.
How is Roehl’s training for someone that has their CDL but still needs a training. Got my CDL end of 18 drove for a company for about a month. I’d like to start from scratch basically as far as training. Thanks
They'll have you go thru the GYCDL program as a refresher, I believe the contract agreement will be different than the standard amount. I haven't driven since 2016 (16 to 23) but still had a cdl. Really smooth program, you'll be put back out with a trainer afterwards too.
@@Daytimetruckn awesome thank you for the response. I’m over here in Tampa as well. Based on my research, basically UA-cam videos. Roehl’s training is really good. Was looking at Roehl, Schneider, Cypress TL, as well as Steven’s TP. Knew the other 3 provided a refresher, but now that you confirmed Roehl as an option, I feel pretty confident on what I want to do. Thank you again
@Linknelson no problem, I can't speak for the other companies but I know for a fact that you should stay away from Schneider. They are super shady. Just looking out for ya!
Thanks for the video man, I’m fixing to get into Trucking myself and never really look into your Company……I’ve been looking at CFI and Schneider for my starter Company……You seem like a cool dude 👍…..I’m single no kids no bills except for my cellphone and plan to live in my Truck and stack my money and I really think I will enjoy it and do my first year and see how it goes….would like your opinion on my situation and does your Company offer CDL training school?
I'm not going to convince you to come to roehl if you don't want to but it's much better than Schneider. Schneider is mega shady and they have a bunch of lawsuits against them. Roehl has a GYCDL program, it's pretty smooth and that's good idea to do it like that. I'd do that if I could.
@@Daytimetruckn During training out on the road with Roehl is the Truck stopped and both Trainer and Trainee are sleeping at the same time? I don’t like these Companies that run it like a Team as in Prime for example
Hate to say it, but any young person that would choose a career in trucking now im seriously doubtful of their decision making ability. Right now trucking is about the worse trade you could choose for a career .
To eaches own, I started initially in 2015 when they still had manual trucks. This job is pretty much for single dudes, non people people and immigrants (some with non valid cdl's)
@Daytimetruckn I started at TMC back in 1997, and it has steadily gotten worse ever since. I'm local LTL now it's not too bad, I have friends that do HVAC and we used to make around the same money in the early 2000s, now they all make well above 6 figures..and I dont.
@@Daytimetrucknhere is my situation.. I was really going to go off with doing this truck driver stuff...but the training things you have to worry about any mechanical issues it's on you and on your time.. have a schedule non stop.. and have to be smart on your end.. not sure about it all yet. But after so many hrs you have to reset or something like that.. and keep going that.. but honestly feel like I want to towards it anymore... Rather let someone do it for me... Right now I feel like my decision is to learn how to be a concrete driver instead... Here in Florida. And I always see concrete being poured everyday.. even the days I don't go to work because there isn't for everyone... Guess what.. concrete drivers are there making it happen... I've been at the end of the stick.... Am happy to earn a well but not so stable income.. make 600-700 or some times I do make those 1000 bucks a week. But it's not always certain... Why I am going to the DMV today and get the book that is needed to learn about the test about it.. and in the meantime try to learn it all as best of my knowledge... Am 23 turning 24 in weeks... July 13th... And time is passing... And I haven't made a single time barly to go out and eat a bit and come back... If I lived on my own I wouldn't make it.. barely able to make those high end payment bills and insurance.. feel like am living off pay check to paycheck. I know both Spanish and English.. I did graduate highschool.. but to be suffering is my own fault.. why I took 7 yrs off my life.. and no results.. didn't think at the time.m but I've seen comments say about truck driving and trailimg heavy loads of equipment but just way more responsibility for that job... Respect to those who do it..
So what’s a good decision? Go into tech? Have you seen the tech layoffs? Over 100,000 fired in the last 24 months - and not everyone can become a doctor lawyer engineer. Trades may be the only way to go if you really believe trucking is terrible
I understand everything you said and it makes perfect sense. However, people don't like to be talked to just any ol' way and it seems to me like you might need to work on your delivery. Sounds like you throw orders around & you're talking to them in a manner that's not respectful. Maybe I'm taking what you're saying wrong, but that's what it sounds like to me.
@gregorysmitherman3739 I fully understand where you're coming from but I don't bs with people, this job is not forgiving and if the manner in how I talk doesn't sit well with some folks, then sorry. The business is how it is. I don't work for roehl anymore but you guys n gals need to know what you're getting into.

Absolutely
You seem to be like a good trainer just based on initial impressions from this video. If I ever decided to get into trucking I wouldn’t mind learning from you
@Michael-jo9jz if I was still with them I wouldn't mind more students, I am not with roehl anymore
I understand that the trainer needs to know what’s going on around that vehicle but if the mirrors are strategically placed and adjusted for you in the passenger seat, it would seem they’re most definitely not adjusted properly for the person in the driver seat. Which would mean the driver probably didn’t pre trip correctly. “I have 6 mirrors. They are all properly mounted, not damaged, clean and properly adjusted.”
Fair point and theory, buy the mirrors are placed where both driver and passenger can utilize them properly
@@Daytimetruckn Yeah mostly but not totally. I’m partially trollin you lol. Just wanted to throw some Roehl pre trip verbiage out there.
@@Willy_On_Wheels lol thanks for dropping in

@@Willy_On_Wheels thanks, you too!
I have just applied to roehl so hopefully u end up being my trainer
Ima about to be a roehl i hope i get you as a trainer. I want to be a good driver because im in it for life and im not trying to kill anyone

I hear people say minimum of 3 months you have to stay. How long do you have to stay at Roehl for the company not to take your CDL back?
@MVMPRODUCTIONS21 they can't take your cdl back once you got it lol
Contract whether you have experience or not is 120k miles.

@@Daytimetruckn I’m in Southwest Arkansas, if I chose Roehl where would I go for my CDL training?
@cwc8979 either Marshfield, Appleton or Gary terminal are likely bets, I believe they cover travel expenses
@@Daytimetruckn During training out on the road with Roehl is the Truck stopped and both Trainer and Trainee are sleeping at the same time? I don’t like these Companies that run it like a Team as in Prime for example
@cwc8979 they do not run team style, when the trainer is up you're up, when your clock runs out that's it for the day.

Quick question . When training with driver is those 19 or so days concurrent
Those are days logged as on duty working, resets do not count so your looking at about a month total
You sound like a good trainer, can I train with you I’m a recent grad
I just picked up a student this week, I'm unavailable for a month

do you know who hires someone who has a sap all endorsements and a twic card with no experience
As long as you can commit to the job, roehl does
@Daytimetruckn thank you I tried then they told me no
