Roehl Company-Sponsored Program - Day To Day

Didn't get a chance to post last night, but Saturdays are only half days. And are spent in the classroom. Yesterday we spent the time going over trip planning, maps. Left at lunch and had the rest of the day and Sunday to relax or do whatever

After a day and a half off, we all made some mistakes today. Started the morning off doing our pre trip. Then each of did offset and alley back. Then we hit the road until lunch. After lunch I drove the road (didn't get to before lunch) then it was back to the yard and worked more on our offset and alley back til time to go back to the hotel

Thomas:

Did the welcome time off mess everyone up? I've read that on other posts when people have been off. They recover, tho. You have done so much in a week, you will too.

Are there still 4 of you? I guess no one has heard about Razor.

How is the pre trip going? Is it getting easier?

My recruiter texted me this morning & asked if I'm getting excited. Yes, I'm counting down!!! She said she will call me Wed.

I got my background clearance for Hazmat today. I have every possible item I can get on my own at this time.

Take care & stay strong

Ok so I missed yesterday. We started out most of the morning in the classroom going over the "roehl way" of driving. Then spent about 30-45 minutes working on the pre trip before lunch. After lunch we worked on the pre trip again and then spent the rest of the day out driving around town, some back County roads, and highways.

Today, we started out doing our pre trips. It started snowing and wind gust up to 40+ mph so the instructors had us pull in the shed to finish them. Then we went out and spent the morning driving around town. After lunch we went over the in cab of the pre trip again. Then we hit the backing range working on our offset and alley backs. Then it was back out to the roads. Instructor had us take the highway for a few minutes so that we could feel what it was like to drive in high speed crosswinds. Then we went back to driving around town. After that it was time to go back to the hotel

Really Great Detailed Informative Thread...

I also signed up for Roehl and I'm also in ATL (Cobb County) hoping to train for reefer or dry van here in GA.

I took my Hazmat & passed it today. Trying to get my duckies in a row for my first day of trucking school Mon.

So this morning we met in the classroom. Then spent the morning in the simulator doing hazard driving (weather, construction). Then took lunch. After lunch we went out to the trucks. Did our pre trip. Then for the afternoon our instructors did a surprise pre test on our driving and backing (for testing out early next) everything went well. The 4 of us should be testing next wednesday. Just have a couple things to work on before test day. Got done with that, did our post trip, and it was time to go back to the hotel
