I honestly don't know who you could talk to to speed it up. That sounds like something safety would have to review and decide on but I haven't been here long enough to know any of the office people. The best thing I would suggest is to try contacting your recruiter on tue or Wed to see if they will speed it up. In the meantime I would still go ahead and get your permit just to get that all taken care of.

Roehl is my first choice for CDL school. I put in my application and I am good except in 2015 due to the stupid traction control system braking in a turn on ice I put my car into a ditch. The problem was the NYS Trooper have desecration if there is less than a $1,000 damage to NOT write a police report at all. it was not a big deal after I got my wheels back on the road I drove away (no other cars involved). Trooper was really nice and professional they always are in my experience. No ticket, nothing.
So as a candidate I am squared away, meaning I have No DUI , DWI , Arrests, Drugs etc. not an alcoholic, no issues what so ever of that type. My recruiter is Jessica (very nice girl). I filled out the app and Jessica said that all she needed was the police report of the accident. I told her about the accident as I don't think that there is any record of it but I wanted to be 100% transparent.
I thought maybe the Troopers would have an internal report or something, I called them they have nothing and said it is normal for them not to produce one. I called my insurance company who said it was no big deal and wrote me an email which I forwarded to Jessica:
"To whom it may concern, This letter serves as a summary of the accident our Liberty Mutual policyholder, Jeff was involved on 1-12-15. This loss was a single vehicle accident as result of hydroplaning and driving into ditch. The police came to the scene but did not find it necessary to file police report. "
Jessica said she sent it somewhere to see if it was sufficient or not and that they would let her know in about a week and she would be in touch afterwards.
I am going to get my permit Monday morning I was hopeful that I could travel to the school next week and start on nextMonday. The challenge for me is that I cannot really wait another 2-3 weeks to get going with the process. (Why can't I just wait? Long story but I just need to get working ASAP) Does anyone know the name of a person at Roehl I can call to fast track their decision on this minor accident documentation?
Any help is greatly appreciated. If I can't get them to pull the trigger I can go elsewhere but I would much rather be at Roehl.
Thanks in advance for any help.
