ROEHL
Topic 1284 | Page 1
That would have to be your decision alone. I have heard though that Roehl is a very good company to work for.
Also got a call from Western Express. I don't know much about this company from Nashville Tenn.
Time to do some research then. Call the companies find out all you can from the recruiter, just remember not everything they say is correct. Go to truck stops and find drivers who work for those companies and chat with them. Before you know it you'll know which company suits you better.
HOS:
Hours Of Service
HOS refers to the logbook hours of service regulations.
I just finished my first 8 days with Roehl. 1st time driver fresh out of CDL school. Really good equipment. Safety is their main concern. Seems like a good company so far.

What division are you driving. Refer, dry van , flatbed. Roehl is number one on my list if I can pull it off. Working on funding for school right now. Recruiter said I would be driving flatbed which is exactly what I want to do. They also have western regional which is a HUGE plus for me.
Good luck and keep us posted. I'm very interested to hear what you have to say about your experiences with them.
