Well ladies and gentlemen step right up for I have some wonderful news to share. It will cause jubilation among the masses and may cause some of you to faint or cry. So without further ado:

After speaking with Kim at Roehl Transport today, I was informed that the $400 lodging fee that they used to charge the student will now be covered by the company. They will cover your lodging at school. That's right, you heard it here! Roehl now covers lodging while you go to school! On top of that you get a private room with microwave, refrigerator and TV.

And to make it even better, the $250 fee at the start has been reduced to $185!

So, guys and gals, give Kim at Roehl a call! Good luck and happy tucking!

Roehl is starting to get on the level as most companies since most companies provide lodging free of charge and transport to and from school. Though not sure I agree with the administration fee to process paperwork. Again most companies do that for free unless you are going through their school and that money helps cover the CDL fees that are involved.

Not saying Roehl is a bad company cause their not but I wonder at why they are so far behind what other companies do for nothing.

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.

Indeed they were charging for a few things that most programs were not charging for. But then again they have some perks that no other companies have like their home time options. I don't know of anyone that has anything like this:

7-On/7-Off Fleet

Exclusively from Roehl, our 7-On/7-Off Fleet drivers drive seven days and then they are home for seven days at a time. If you choose a 7-On/7-Off Fleet, you’ll have 26 weeks a year off. You must be fully rested prior to dispatch. Space in the 7-On/7-Off Fleets may be limited in some areas of the country.

7/4-7/3 Fleet

Getting more miles is a key feature of our 7/4-7/3 Fleets. When you join a 7/4-7/3 Fleet, you’ll drive seven days, then be home four days, then you’ll drive seven days followed by three days of home time. That’s an average of 120 days off and mileage goals between 95,000 and 105,000 per year. You must be fully rested prior to dispatch, and space in the 7/4–7/3 Fleets may be limited in some areas of the country.

14/7 Fleet

Roehl’s 14/7 Fleets are unique options that combine the mileage goals of a 7/4-7/3 Fleet (between 95,000 and 105,000 per year) with the extended home time of a 7/7 Fleet. You’ll drive fourteen days and then be home seven days. Space in our 14/7 Fleets is available in limited areas, and you must be fully rested prior to dispatch.

OOS:

When a violation by either a driver or company is confirmed, an out-of-service order removes either the driver or the vehicle from the roadway until the violation is corrected.

You also do not share a room. When I was told they would be paying the lodging, I asked. From the search I did on the internet, the room you get is really nice. They did drop the processing free from $250 to $185. The other really good thing about the school, they limit the class size. (I think it is 6 but I could be wrong.)
