Papa bear...keep in mind that Roehl has a couple of recruiters who deal only with the GYCDL program. The one I dealt with was Kim Calhoun. She was very professional and everything she said was correct. Maybe Brad passed you on to someone else.

Good luck. I start back with Roehl on 1/22 and am looking forward to seeing how things turnout.

CDL:

Commercial Driver's License (CDL)

A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:

  • Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
  • Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
  • Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
  • Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.

I still hope that my Recruiter maybe just took some vacation over Christmas, but still needing info and can’t get it is hard.

Guys...not trying to talk Papa "into" or "out of" either company. However he said he made a decision, asking for info on Swift.

Why are you vacillating Papa Bear? What is it about Roehl that makes it your number one choice?

sorry about the quick post but back to the family...my mom hated that i was doing this. we argued after i was already on the road. "you can't just pick up and move across the country." well...yeah i can and did. She's coming around now and tells the neighbors of all the places i go to.

I liked my time at Central Refrigerated (Swift) I have no complaints. You have a good oppurtunity with a good company. You will get good miles and you will have a descent paycheck.

Try to save a couple dollars to make up for the check following your home time.

Your DM is a good person believe in them. They really do want good things for you. Don't be picky and a complainer.

Good Luck and congratulations on getting rid of the habit.

Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager

The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.
