Dennis.. you dont say but how did you like the training you got with Roehl?
Im currently trying to get to Schneider (out of Green Bay) for training but my BF would love for me to go with Roehl due to the fact that his best friend and best friends GF drove for them and the school is only 30 miles from his house. Roehl oks pretty good but I would have to come up with the money for school myself and i dont remember if they guarantee a job once i finish school with them.

Hi kahlana, I'm new here and I hope you don't mind me answering your post to Dennis. I am a grad from RDTC. I graduated July 19th and I was signed on July 20th. As long as you pass your background check and DOT physical, which is done prior to you starting school you will be hired as long as you pass your cdl test. I didn't have the money to put out so I did the loan agreement with them. I don't have to pay anything back as long as I complete 120,000 miles. I drive team with my hiusband. Once you finish school you are assigned a Evo 1 then a Evo 2 trainer. Each training session is approx 10-13 days. After that you take a road test and an open book written test. Then you go into Evo 3 which is you being assigned your own truck and given a DSR that deals with newly graduated students. All Evo 3 is you getting use to doing things on your own with a DSR that understands you are new and will give help. Once you prove you can handle it and are familiar with the procedures you are placed on a regular DSR's board. I didn't have to do the Evo 3 thing because my husband was already a driver for Roehl and a past trainer. Hope this answers your question.

Brings back memories. I did my orientation in Marshfield. It was great little town. Does Troy still do the orientations?

I do have to say I did see a hot chick up there. I guess she was Rick Roehls Grandaughter. She was 20 or 21. Knockout. anyways. Cool place, I liked it. Have you met Tim Mcleod or Bob Gross yet? Just curious.

Yes Troy does do orientation for experienced drivers.

Oh great info Whisper... thank you so much... got a call back from Schneider and its a no go since i dont live in their hiring area... but my bf lives really close to Marshfield so i can stay with him if Roehl will hire me on ... wooohooo... will be taking Dennis's advice and getting on with them if i can.

Good Luck Kahlana. If you go with Roehl I think you will be happy with their training. They give you plenty of practice and let students practice on the range on Saturdays as long as they like. Roehl also has motel/apartments for students out of the area. I stayed at the Old Dutch Lodge.

I stayed at Old Dutch #2 for 3 weeks. Not a bad place. So I was an official WI resident!
