Roehl Longevity Bonus?

Ah I see. I have always said if I ever had a bird I want it to be a raven. Thats why I was curious.

I've thought about falconry before. You have to apprentice under a licensed hawker/falconer for two years before you can have your own bird I believe. I've thought going hunting with a bird would be awesome ever since I read Jean Craighead George's "My Side of the Mountain" when I was in 4th grade. I was so jealous of Sam Gribley and his pet peregrine falcon!

So I pulled the trigger. Decided to sign the contract. Mostly because of all the positive stuff I saw about Roehl. From posters here and other sources. Not all the information I found was positive but most was. And most of the bad stuff was a little old.

I report 4 JAN in Phoenix. And so far so good. As a matter of fact I already have one good thing too report. Once the paperwork was finally signed and we were getting set up for what I need to be there. They asked "So what is your preferred method of travel?" what? Every other company I talked too (which was a lot) just sends you a greyhound ticket. If you want to get there another way then thats on you. They told me I could fly, bus or rental car. So I said I would prefer to rent a car (yeah I dont like to fly, I have control issues. Not pretty I know. But it is what it is). So they then told me that they would set up a rental with their preferred rental company and they would send me the reservation. Even asked if I would like to pick it up the day before I travel. Too easy!

Only thing I worry about is getting home when they say they will get me home. Only cause I never see Roehl trucks coming through my part of Southern Nevada. I dont go into Vegas much anymore so maybe they run on the 15 mostly. But I never see them run through Boulder City. Which as some of you may know gets a lot of interstate traffic funneled through it. I asked about this so I will have to trust them.

Cool! Congratulations and best of luck!

Nice, let us know how it goes. :)

What if you tell them you don't want the bonus at all (now...or later)? You can't owe money that was/never will be given to you!

It is a mandatory contract, whether you wanbt it, or not. It is mostly designed to make sure they don't waste their time and money on a driver who up and quits, during, or shortly after training.

Yeah I found out that the money that you payback is actually not the bonus. Seems to say that in the contract. In legal speak. Its kinda confusing. So if you refuse the bonus it has no effect.

You don't have to take the bonus but not sure why you would refuse free money?

The money you pay back if you quit is the training cost of your 8 day orientation and time on the road with trainer. You also will pay back aby bonus money received to the point you quit if you don't fulfill your 75,000 miles.

Buy honestly if your on the hook for $3100 is that extra $1500 (if you received it all) gonna really matter?

I just finished my orientation/phase 1 training with Roehl. I started last Monday at the Conley Ga terminal. They flew me from Texas to Atlanta, I'll be running TX regional out of Grand Prairie after I finish my 2 weeks with a driver trainer. I have been pleased with the training and treatment I've received so far. I should be out with my trainer by Wednesday.

You have to see it from roehls point of view also. They are investing a lot of time and money into a someone who has very little to no experience driving a truck. Not to mention they give you a $150,000+ truck to drive and very good training. 75k miles will go by real quick. I'm only 2 weeks solo with Roehl and have driven 5,000 miles already and making very good money for having 0 experience in the industry. You will not be disappointed with Roehl, they will treat you with respect and help you anytime you need it. Best of luck to you man!
