Topic 23760 | Page 7
I'm posting his other threads here. He went eventually quit Roehl, and honestly just sounded like a whiney cry baby with no understanding of personal responsibility or trucking in general.

Thank you, RainyD, for compiling that.
Prof. X, I'm a little surprised that you left Roehl. I admit, it was nice having someone feeding me info from 6 months further into my career. Sorry to hear that Roehl wasn't your cup of tea. Perhaps Hunt will be more your style.
Best of luck out there, Prof!
Dm:
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.

OTR:
Over The Road
OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.

Hey Prof. X, Thanks for taking the time to write down your experiences with Roehl. I'm currently going through my pre-screening and cdl permit prep. I found your thread very useful, especially because it is so recent. Can I get an update? tell me more about your experiences during your ojt. I'm excited to start, but I want to make sure that Roehl lives up to their hype and recruiter promises.
