Hi Kevin Welcome to CAD!!

Unless the school requires that you have a letter of pre-hire before enrolling than you wouldn't need one. The letters of pre-hire from the companies really don't mean anything in all honesty!!! You can get a letter of pre-hire and still not be hired by that company. All it is a piece of paper which does guarantee anything. So far the school seems like a good deal for $1050 for 216 hours.

PS. If you live in the Memphis area than you should look at U.S. Xpress and maybe you can get on local there. Good luck to you.

Thanks YoungZ.W. i'm looking in .usxpress.com website now

I just hope that i can go local with usxpress or with roehl 7 on 7 off


o'k I'm done

Go with Roehl if you can, you will not be disappointed. They have been great to deal with so far.

ya sometimes the "maverick and roehl"stories that I read about on this
forum makes things more positive

Roehl sucks!!! I drove there for 1 agonizing year. Almost lost my house, my marriage, my vehicles. Terrible company. I broke 3000 miles in a week once in a year.

They will make you live in the NE. You'll be lucky to get a load over 500 miles. They outright lied to me about hometime. The customers you deliver to sometimes aren't even setup for a 53' trailer. You never get to choose where you want to go. Their trucks are slower then JB Cunts, oh and don't let your truck roll downhill past 68mph, your quallcomm will squeal at you oh and forget about getting your bonus :roll: I hope you like having a mid-roof too. Because unless you're a trainer or team you aint getting a condo.

They had a guy running orientation in Marshfield named Troy, he was making fun of an overweight guy in class and hitting on the women who were married! I had a dispatcher based in Gary, IN that never answered his phone (he knew it was me calling).

These are the nazi-type scumbag people that run this piece o' sht company. You can do better.
