Roehl CDL Training Program
Topic 11150 | Page 1
When I got into driving truck I wen to roehls cdl school in Marshfield Wisconsin and I enjoyed it. The instruction while intense and fast paced was very thorough. I have talked to many people who attended a private school and it seems the education I received was equal or better to almost everyone I spoke to. As far as roehl as a company they are a great place to start because they are a family based company so if you have an emergency at home they are very understanding. They also understand the growing pains you experience in the beginning and work with you through all of it. Had I not been a position where I need to be home on a more constant basis I would still be there. They have a surprising amount of drivers that have 10 plus years.

Thanks for the info. That's exactly what I need to hear.
I'm heading there very soon pending results of my drug test
I am weighing options whether to go to a private school or try applying to the Roehl CDL training program where you are hired right after your CDL program. Anyone done this and have any advice on how the training was and what Roehl is like as an employer?

Keep me posted when you get there how it is. I read a blog on here from someone who did it and it sounds very encouraging.
For my current situation and for a company that covers EVERYTHING accept transportation to the facility plus a job when done. Can't beat it.

I went through there this time 2 years ago in Marshfield. Very good school. I left to be an o/o otherwise would still be there.
