Our program is really designed for people who want to be paid while they are learning a valuable set of skills so they can test for a commercial driver's license and continue in their careers as safe/professional truck drivers. There are other ways to get a CDL, and almost all of them involve not getting paid while training and not being an employee. With Roehl, you’re hired on the first day and getting your CDL is part of the job.

Pros

Good equipment, brand new trucks, maintenance is efficient, management is competent, terminals are mostly in good shape, GYCDL program is relatively good. Builds really good habits regarding safety. CEO is a driver. High standards for safe driving. Free company-paid showers at Loves. Went to all 48 states in CONUS while OTR. This could be a 5 star company with the right pay/time off.

Cons

Basement level pay, very minimal time off, GYCDL program is steep. You get billed $7k USD if you quit before 120k miles, and that's realistically 2 years of driving for terrible pay. You have to get your strapping job approved by management before moving. I make 3x the pay doing the same job for almost half the hours at an adjacent company. It's very frustrating, the company is well-run otherwise. There is pressure to work a minimum of 50-60h a week, but I often ran my 70h clock out and still was told it isn't enough. That brought my rate to almost minimum wage per hours worked, sometimes lower. If the pay and home time situation weren't abusive, this company would be legitimately incredible to work for.

We appreciate your perspective and feedback – especially calling out all the really great things about Roehl (equipment, terminals, Rick Roehl’s leadership and certainly our cornerstone value of safety). With regards to pay and home time – there’s definitely a balance between the two. We know that our pay is competitive with things like address-to-address practical route mileage, dynamic pay based on the length of haul, full per diem and our profit-sharing program being important components. We also measure getting our driving teammates home in the same way we track on-time customer delivers – that’s all part of our commitment to Driver Success. While it sounds like you are a flatbed driver, this podcast might be of interest to you - https://share.transistor.fm/s/dbe23e10
