Just Finished Roehl GYCDL
Topic 25170 | Page 1
Great job earning that CDL
As far as the advice I'd suggest creating a post in the general categories section because there's a lot more activity there. We have quite a few trainers (not for Roehl) that are more likely to see thread.
What division of Roehl are you going to be in?
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.
Thanks! I’ll make a post in the main section then. I will be in their Midwest Regional Van division.
Regional:
Regional Route
Usually refers to a driver hauling freight within one particular region of the country. You might be in the "Southeast Regional Division" or "Midwest Regional". Regional route drivers often get home on the weekends which is one of the main appeals for this type of route.
I just rolled into Marshfield for training. any tips?
Listen, focus on what the instructors teach. Fast paced is a good way of saying it basically. Be professional, ask questions, and don’t party in the hotel (or anywhere for that matter.)

Congratulations!
I just finished my first day at Conley. Survived all the big hurdles so it's just pretrips and driving from here on. 😎
Any updates KJ? I will be at Conley in two weeks.

Just finished 2nd week. End of next week we head to Chattanooga to test out with Sarge, who by all accounts is a good guy who isn't out to "get you". But there are some auto-fails, like jumping a curb, rolling back (not a problem I've ever encountered in Florida) or obviously running into anything.
Just started 3rd week, got my shiny new yellow vest along with my cdl for passing the Sarge test.😥
Was expecting Shun to reveal himself, but so far no go.
