I have a few questions for anyone still working for Roehl or Swift.
- Is the hometime legit? I see 3-4 days home, 10-14 out.
- any benefit between Reefer and Dryvan?
- is it worth doing the programs for one of these 2 companies, or paying out of pocket for my CDL?
- do either company offer local runs for rookies or is it all OTR? What about regional?
I’m turning 29 in 9 days. My grandfather was a trucker for 54 years and I’ve been around them all my life. Currently I work at home as an Apple iOS senior adviser but I need something different and starting with my CDL seems like an excellent way to do that. I have a fiancé and a 5 year old son. She’d prefer I get local or dedicated route as soon as possible and honestly so do I, but we’re aware for at least the first year that may not be in the cards.
Any advice, help or just friendly suggestions would be appreciated.
