Roehl Drivers-Some questions

Brett, Thanks for the info and the site. I had been thinking of becoming a trucker for several years and had pictured doing it a bit further down the road but circumstances have decided "now" is the time. Like they say..."Man makes plans and God laughs". Found this site and it has been an invaluable tool for me. Tons of great info and the High Road Training Materials are awesome! Thanks again.

Roehl Drivers-Some questions

First post here for me. I start training with Roehl on 11/2 and then off to their Midwest region refrigerated fleet. Just looking for some general info on what I'll need after training for the road. Aside from being something of a gearhead I'm also kind of a tech nerd. I like paper maps so I'll have a Rand McNally with me. I know the trucks have a QualComm installed. Is navigation built into that? Is it any good or are you folks supplementing with a GPS or GPS software on a tablet? Any particular apps/software you find useful on the road? How is the equipment for Roehls? Trucks well maintained, etc? I did a fair bit of research before I committed to Roehl and I'm thinking I made a good choice. I expect to work hard for what I get and I'm happy to do it. Always have been. Thanks for any info.
