Topic 15142 | Page 1
Hello everyone I'm starting school with Roehl on July 11 2016. I think I did lots of research on what company was best for me. But I am still a little nervous and really excited. Just wanted to stop by and introduce myself as I will be on here lots. You all seem very nice and helpful to newer drivers.
Welcome to the site, If you keep up with the training on here I don't think you'll have a problem in school. Brett and his team on this site have done some awesome things and I can't thank them enough. Waiting on getting medically cleared and the I'm heading to get my permit and DOT card and I'll be off to school. This site is a god send to all the people that wanna start into the trucking business. I hope everything works out for you.

Yea I have had my permit for about a month and already have about 1-2 thousand miles under my belt in a Frieghtliner Cascadia buddy of mine is an otr driver and takes me with him. Did my new medical card and updated my info with the dmv on Tuesday. My only thing is prepping myself mentally to be away from my two month old son and my fiancé as a otr driver. Super excited though for my new carrier.
