Pay, Benefits & More in the Get Your CDL Truck Driving Job

The support to go far.

Pay and benefits that make a difference in your life.

CDL Training Program & Benefits

Earning Potential.

We pay you while you are training to get your CDL and when you continue out on the road with a Certified Driver Trainer. Once you’re in your own truck, you’ll be paid solo mileage, and that depends on which fleet you’re in. As you gain experience and become better at your job, you’ll be more efficient and you’ll earn more.

Inexperienced drivers can make $70,000+. And you can earn more than that because we have one of the most innovative pay packages in the trucking industry.

While most trucking companies still use an old flat cents per mile (CPM) rate, we created the Your Choice Pay Plans™ to reward you for your performance, efficient driving and safety.

The Your Choice Pay Plans puts you in control of increasing your rate or getting a quarterly performance bonus. That means you don’t have to wait on annual bonuses and annual pay increases, like at other trucking companies. Roehl is a certified Top Pay Carrier, and your mileage rate in our pay plans is just part of your income.

Exclusive Extras.
In addition to the pay plan CCJ Magazine dubbed “Innovative” and “A Better Way To Pay,” Roehl also covers a ton of extras that most trucking companies can’t touch. You’ll get paid for:

Intermediate Stops
Tarping and Untarping (flatbed)
Hand Load or Unload (95% of our van loads are no-touch)
Detention Time
Short Haul Pay (loads under 100 miles)
Layover Day
New York City and Long Island (less than 1% of our freight goes there)
Canada Pay (if you’re on a fleet that goes into Canada)
Placard Load Premium
Refrigerated Modular Unload
Secondary Load

Roehl offers some of the best home time in the industry, with HOMEtime PLUS fleets that give you up to 26 weeks off a year.

Get Your CDL Training Program & Truck Driver Job Review by Dale S.

★★★★★

"When I first decided to pursue a driving career, I contacted <company name removed> because they were doing a lot of advertising for drivers in this area. They made me an offer but some of what the recruiter was saying just didn't sound right to me so I declined the offer.

Prior to going with Roehl, I was delivering campers from Goshen, IN to dealerships throughout the northern Midwest and I saw a lot of Roehl trucks. They were all clean and appeared to be new and well maintained so I started to research Roehl on line. Our website (guess I can say that now :) ) is very good and I learned a lot about Roehl there. The attitude on safety and driver welfare impressed me, so I applied. I was contacted quickly by recruiting and developed a great relationship with Dakota <Get Your CDL Driver Employment Specialist>. He was excellent! He answered my questions & concerns directly and honestly. If he didn't know the answer, he said so and got back to me when he found out. Everything he told me then has turned out to be true and accurate. I also have to say after my first 4 weeks with Roehl, I feel very confident I made the right decision. The trainers were excellent! The impression I got from the website has been proven true by my experiences so far.

This has probably been much longer than you wanted and I apologize for that but that's my story. :) Thank you for your interest and support Amanda!! It means a great deal to me knowing I have you for support and assistance!!

Happy Monday & Take Care,
Dale S. "
