My experience with Roehl and Millis. I attended Roehl's (RDTC) driver training back in 06 over in Marshfield, WI. I was with them just over 2 yrs before going to a local position and my opinion was that the training was real good. Class sizes range from 5 to 7 students per class, you will get alot of one-on-one drive time with the instructors and the same goes for the classroom. The evolution 1 & 2 with the trainers was a great was all the behind the wheel time I could handle, and my trainers remained in the 2nd seat matching logbooks with me, not this team driving so many others talk about. As for your location, Roehl has yards in Dayton, Mogadore, and Cinci. Now as for Millis, my experience may have been unique. When I contacted their recruiters, I couldn't get them to answer any of my questions without first providing them with an application, earning statements (W-2's) and MVR. I don't know if this was standard procedure, but it turned me off right away as I wasn't ready to apply at the time. |

I'm 5'5"/270 - DON'T have sleep apnea, and ain't hurtin' no one but myself. Lot's of folks (the FMCSA medical advisory board for example) think overweight folks PLANNED IT, or we somehow LIKE BEING overweight. My "optimum weight" is like 155. I haven't seen THAT, since I stopped smoking crack over 20 years ago. I'm happy to break 200, when I can get down that low - lately I'm happy to get below 250. And I'm not some gluttonous pig either. It's called METABOLICALLY CHALLENGED. No biggie. If the FMCSA gets their way, everyone with a BMI over 35 gets to walk home. http://www.med.uvm.edu/AHEC/download...sedBMI3-07.pdf Where do YOU fall in? Rick |
Back when I first went into the Navy, they were on an "over-weight kick" too. Eat and sleep in the hospital, and spend the day exercising. (I got to spend the whole day swimming in the pool) On their program, I went from 195 to 190, to 195, to 200, and they took me off the program. Then, for me, their "sink and swim survival" was either swim or walk on the bottom. This year, I've finally been able to hold a deep breath, and stay near the surface of the water... After 45 years of being right at 200 pounds. They had said I shouldn't weigh more than 185.
Oh, yeah... I'm an even 6 foot. |
That BMI deal is gonna put alot of drivers out of work. :(
At least 80 percent of the drivers where I work will be out....and thats not an exaggeration |

As far as I know Conway does not offer traing to get your CDL. They have a school you'll have to go through if your a recent graduate from a CDL school. You'll have to already have your license through an approved school before they with hire you... at least thats the way it was when I drove for them (it was CFI then though, so things may have changed). |
