Needed: Commercial Truck Drivers

Do you feel the lure of the open road and yearn for a job that pays well and offers the opportunity to perform an important service? Have you thought about getting your commercial driver’s license, but have been put off by the cost of CDL school? Do you need to start earning money now?

If you're interested in a career track that has the potential for long-term employment and a salary that can easily exceed $70,000+, long distance, over-the-road freight hauling might be the career you're seeking.
 

Here's How it Works

Upon completion of an application and acceptance into the Roehl program, each student attends a three-week course at one of four U.S. training centers. There's classroom learning as well as actual skills training on big rigs, preparing students to take -- and pass -- the commercial licensing exam. Training is intensive and thorough, and a high percentage of students pass on their first attempt.

The second phase of training puts each candidate on the road to shadow a dedicated fleet training manager. You'll ride together, normally for approximately three weeks. On actual routes, you'll learn freight-handling and customer service techniques, all about trip planning, fuel efficiency, rig maintenance and safety, on-board electronics and company policies. Consider it a paid internship with a supportive mentor.

Phase three is when you'll be assigned a truck and assume primary responsibility for planning a route. You'll be on your own, on the road, earning full mileage pay. You'll still have 24-7 support from an individual fleet manager, and you'll enjoy full company benefits.
 

A Career on the Road

In return for the training, we require a commitment of 120,000 solo miles of driving, which translates to about 15 months of employment, at a rate that can easily net drivers between $900 and $1,250 weekly. You'll have no debt, and you'll gain experience with a highly respected company. 

Roehl needs good drivers, and we're looking to the future. That's it. We hope you can join us.
