Profile For Patrick D.

Just started orientation Monday, got on the road to train right now. So far everythings good. From what ive seen, Roehl has a pretty solid training program. I definitly suggest new cdl drivers to check them out!,

Have your tried any of the Company-Sponsored Training? If you havnt, try calling and see what they say, you wouldn't have to go through schooling again, should be able to just start out from orientation...

I have tried quite a few. H.O. Wolding, Roehl (who I, as of now at least, start orientation July 14th), Knight, and a few others who were not on the listing but seemed good enough. The one thing I don't want to do is drive flatbed. I have nothing against it, I just prefer Dry Van or Reefer units if Dry Van's not an option for a company.

What's your driving record like and do you have any criminal history? When I started working for Knight Transportation they did a very thorough job into my criminal past.

no criminal records. I did get one speeding ticket in the last 3 years, two total in the past 5. I just recently this year got hit with a headlight being out and no headlights working tickets. Paid all those off. I did have a suspended license back in 2006 but I got it back after a few weeks.

There was one time in 2005 where I had to be at court on a monday otherwise my license would have been suspended the tuesday after. I went to court, the clerk said I'm all good and can drive. That friday though I got pulled over for driving on a suspended license and taken to the station. Though they contacted the court that said I was ok to drive and I was released with an apology.

Where did you get your CDL? and, did they tell you why they decided not to hire you?

I got my CDL at Eagle Trucking school in Illinois. And they wouldn't tell me why. All I've been able to do is guess.

well not eagle trucking school but... http://www.eagletrainingservices.com/

I got my CDL at Eagle Trucking school in Illinois. And they wouldn't tell me why. All I've been able to do is guess.

I got my CDL two weeks ago and managed to get a hold of Knight Transportation and was going to go to their orientation yesterday. My parents and I made the drive up to Greenbay from Barringon (Bout a 3 hour drive) Just for the recruiter to text me saying they didn't want to go further with the employment.

Ever since then I have been somewhat struggling to get calls back from other Company's I have applied for. One I did get back though is for Roehl and I am going to be attending their July 14th orientation. However that is still two weeks away and I don't want to have to take a refresher course if they tell me last minute also I can't work there.(Hopefully it will work out).

My Question is Do any of you have any advice for getting a hold of a decent company?
