Profile For Bud L.

Hey All, Thank you for your comments.

I haven't been on here except to use the practice test and other sites with practice test.

Today I did my physical hair follicle test, and received my DOT medical card, so things are moving along.

The one thing I have left is my CPL and I have a saved appt for the 30th, 2 hours away. That was the first opportunity. However, I read that showing up before DPS opens, one may be able to pick up a slot. Starting Monday that's my plan!

I would be nice to get er done!!!

Good Morning everyone from HOT and DRY N. Texas, (60 miles N of Dallas)!

I have been lurking for years here reading the advice and listening to the chatter! I am semi-retired and started out just working for some extra's and toys, (ie. Harley)! Those part time jobs turned full time with me going into management. Yup!! But.. it Kept me busy and out of trouble. It did give me the opportunity to pay off the bills, the kids are adults with family, and I have been adjusting to the single life for the past 5 years.

Long story short, life is peaceful and pretty good. But its missing excitement and I want to get out and about!

My interest in trucking has never wandered far away. So, I filled out the forms and now making the decision. Which brings me to the reason for this post.

I received interest and replies from all the normal guys, Stevens, CFI, Prime, Swift, plus a couple others. Roehl offered me a Granite City dedicated with my 34 being taken as home time. After research it seems Roehl is pretty legit, safety minded, and has a top notch training program.

So, my question to you guys is, what has been your experience with Roehl, pros and cons? What do you know about Roehl? Do you agree or disagree with Roehl and why?

It looks like my training class will be either 9/6 or 9/12.

Be safe and thanks in advance!!!!

Thank you for the info. Seriously considering but want as much info as can get. Thinking of using the service provided by TT with the one application and see what turns up. Once again Thank you for your comments.

Hey Guys, hope this finds all safe and doing well.

I am semi retired, 4 years. Since then I have been working fill in jobs to make some extra to go with Social security. In good shape and health. No hits on TDL, no arrests, just a boring guy getting older. No major debt.. LOL!!

Question 1. Would the "semi retired" for 4 years qualify as the three year documented employment.

Question 2. Is 67 too old to start a CDL career.

Question 3. Live 60 miles N of Dallas, suggestions on schools.

Thanks BL
