Inexperienced Truck Driving Jobs
Are you just starting out in trucking?
First, congratulations on choosing the transportation industry!
Whether you have just graduated or are starting
truck driving school, Roehl Transport is your first choice for the best on-the-job training and trucking driving career.
We've created resources to help people without experience just like you be successful, including
commercial drivers license practice tests if you're getting ready to get your
commercial learners permit.
Perhaps the most important thing you need to know, as a new driver, student driver or inexperienced driver, is that you’ve made a good choice and that the company you’ve selected for training is rock-solid.
Our reputation as a safe, honest and professional company is just one of the reasons so many new drivers with zero experience start their career with Roehl.
You can count on our
more than 60 years of success – over half of that time training new truck drivers – we’re growing and investing you.
Why Choose Roehl as your first job out of truck driving school?
A
truck driving school prepares you to get your CDL.
We prepare you to be among the best professional truck drivers in the trucking industry through our
Safety and Job Skills Training Program.
We take your career and our training seriously.
As a result, Roehl is one of the
safest trucking companies in the nation.
That’s why we’ll enter into an agreement with you. We'll provide you the best training and support, monthly tuition reimbursement payments, and a longevity bonus all while you’re also earning one of the highest student driver pay rates.
For your part, you'll agree to be a professional driver with Roehl for about five or six months.
We’ll pay you well, get you home on time and train you to be among the best drivers in the industry.
How much will I make?
Roehl drivers with at least one year of experience are making $1400+ a week. Be on your way to $70,000+!
We pay you a top starting mileage rate that's dynamic - based on the miles on the load you haul.
What about miles?
First, you should know that Roehl is one of the only trucking companies to pay
address-to-address practical route mileage - 5-8% more than other companies AND those calculations better reflect the miles you'll drive on each load!
Your miles and pay are part of a regular discussion you will have with your fleet manager.
We are committed to work with you to set and meet your earnings goals.
Of course, we will assign you the work that gives you steady miles.
Gaining experience!
As you go from zero experience, to a drive with time behind the wheel, you’ll gain stamina, efficiency and control.
Stamina – when you first start out, you likely will not be able to drive as many miles in a day as an experienced pro.
Over time, you’ll gain stamina and that will mean more miles.
Efficiency – making the most of your available drive time each day means becoming an expert at navigation, getting in and out of a customer’s location and truck stops, completing paperwork (we make it easy with the MyRoehl smartphone app).
As you learn, you’ll develop ways to get more out of each day.
Choices – truck driving is both a career and a lifestyle.
You decide when to start and end your day, when you are available to drive, how long you drive each day.
Those choices impact how many miles you drive and how much you will make.
When will I get home?
You can expect consistent, dependable schedules.
With Roehl, you'll find options that meet your needs.
More than half of Roehl truck drivers are home every week, and even our national fleet drivers have flexible home time!
National Fleets. 11-14 days out and 3 days home. Stay out longer and go home for up to 7 days at a time.
Regional/Dedicated Fleets. Regional fleets offer 48 hours of weekly home time. We also have some dedicated fleets that feature weekly home time.
Home Daily & Local Driving Jobs. Our home daily & local drivers are home every day. Many of our local truck driving jobs are based out of our terminals.
We've also added hundreds of home daily driving jobs that may be available as you gain experience.
Talk to your recruiter to learn more about the available fleets in your area and for your experience level.
They will help you find a fleet that meets your needs!
