Profile For Paul E.

I have to agree with the replies on here why would you decide to do a drug you know that isn't allowed. This is no like athletes that get banned for a energy drink! You would of had to do something very bad. On top of all that you're a new driver just driving straight a new driver is a risk out there I know because I am new I couldn't imagine being high and driving. There are plenty of jobs out there for you that you can party and do these things but trucking isn't one of them. Go find something that fits your lifestyle!

What we did last week is I did all the tossing of the straps told him what I would do than he would help so we weren't so slow I been doing all the pulling in and out of the pickups and deliveries as well as parking at night.

Today starts my 4th week of training I start my solos Monday need to do 5 of them to get my own truck. Than it get's really tough I am out their on my own no expert flat bed person with me. I am nation wide so I hope that I get loads going a long ways because securing this stuff alone will be slow.

I am working for Roehl you can do it you will more than likely start out doing flat bed

My trainer has taken the training wheels off of me already. I am doing all the pulling into our pick ups and drop offs. I have to call in and explain to them how I tie down every load than my trainer helps me but I have to tell him how it is done. I just started my 2nd week on my 4th week I do 5 solos where I do everything preplan paperwork everything than I get mt own truck

I am a new driver I work for Roehl and plan to stay here for at least 2.5 years I think the biggest mistake a new driver can do it be picky where they start with and leaving shortly after starting out with a company. Remember this for new drivers you are not hired until you are actually in a truck assigned to you.

Yea they give us the regulation manual and number of straps or chains needed for sizes and weight. I been out now 3 days got over 700 miles driving so far. Like I said before my trainer has lots of years under his belt. This is a very long trainer program 4 weeks than they keep you close to terminal for another 6 weeks.

I am out on the road was able to drive a trailer that was loaded up with roofing shingles. I have a trainer that has been at it since 1994 so that is good. It is a whole different world driving with weight back there. I do this for a few days than he said I will do solo loads where he is here but I do everything trip planning all the driving and cargo securement. I have to complete 5 of these without any issues. He seems to think I should be ready in 2 to 3 weeks than I get a new FM and get my own truck.

2021 is not that long ago most places want at least 5 years to of passed. Keeping steady employment doing something is really important.

Their training and culture is amazing the instructors are excellent. I am very happy with them so far. My FM is very helpful they have newer equipment. I am nationwide which is what I wanted so I can be all over the place. Now I go out with somebody until I am comfortable on my own so the next phase starts now. Cargo securement is a lot to learn on a flat bed lots of details and math to it all.
