Today's the day, I'm leaving for Marshfield, WI to attend Roehl's student driver program. Wish me luck, gonna be a LONG time away from home but I'm ready.

Good luck! It's not easy, but def worth it. Piece of advice, take everything you hear from fellow students and drivers with a grain of salt. You basically on a long job interview, treat it as such. And enjoy the experience!

MonkeyBone, Nick just gave you some "top shelf" advice. That is exactly what you are stepping into. There are gonna be folks watching your every move up there, and they will even notice what types of people you hang with in the group, because that tells them a lot about you. Keep your nose clean, do what ever they say, all while keeping a positive attitude - all those attributes will pay off in a three or four week long interview process.

I was at one orientation where a few of the guys asked me if I wanted to go to a local night club with them after about our third day of orientation. I declined and got some good rest for the next grueling day's adventure. Guess what? Four or five of our former classmates were missing the next morning - turns out the company had a plant in the night club just to see which ones of us would go over there after they had told us to get plenty of rest that night because we were going to be putting in a long day tomorrow. Turns out their day was longer than ours, because they were all trying to figure out how to get themselves home after being thrown out of the hotel and the orientation.

Good luck MonkeyBone! I've been talking with Roehl and hope to be starting there in January. Please keep us posted on how it's going for you.

Good luck there MonkeyBone. If you get time, post how things are going for you. I was also looking at Roehl's student driver training program also but unfortunately they don't offer that program in my area.
