I'll be in Appleton on 9/16 for my orientation. I already have my CDL A. It'll be like a refresher course for me. You recited the same as my recruiter about Roehl training. Except for the pay.

Hello. Don’t know what avenue you chose. I did the same research you did as well, and Roehl was a top choice but if I remember correctly, they weren’t hiring out of Florida at that time (around 2020). I did end up going with Prime. Started my training on the reefer side and ended up going tanker. Good company. Great equipment. Top notch facilities.

You can take as many as you wish as a lease operator. Biggest things to overcome are boredom and loneliness. Get a headset and talk with friends and family. That helps the days go by quicker.

@williammora2003 i feel boredom and loneliness now and I'm not even a trucker yet maybe it haves alot to do with my mom passing a few months ago ,I think being on the road would be good for me being that already adapted to boredom and loneliness ..just wanna get my paper 💰 up

It’s $112 per full day while you’re out with your trainer. A full day is a day in which you were on duty for at least 6 hours. Most trainees have 6 days a week in which they work the 6 or more hours.

Hey great video! Im looking to go with prime or Roehl as well and so thankful for this video. I’m leaning more towards Roehl. How’s their trucks? Are you enjoying your experience? I like with Roehl that they give you your own truck in phrase 3 whereas prime I don’t think they just give you a truck when you’re done.

Looking to go Prime but just as an employee to get my experience and have them pay for my cdl, then work for a year with Prime get my experience. OR OR, save my money for a few more months and pay for my own CDL training, work for Chichester company will hire. I HATE contracts where they take advantage of my inexperience and dependency on them the trucking company.

Prime pays 900 per week during training.. but double check that to see if anything has changed. I’m. It sure about the hotel rooms and the stove situation.

@michaelzambrano8418 You get a 200 dollar advance every week until your tnt phase after aquiring your cdl that you pay back at 25 a week. It only takes 2-3 weeks to obtain your cdl then you'll switch to 900 a week gross during your tnt phase of 50k miles.

@juniortrucker3389 10 ай бұрын

Prime Inc you start your time working for a $200/wk loan, you have to pay it back once you get your CDL and get your purple badge. Then after that you have to do TNT with a trainer for 50k miles. And after you’re done with that, you’re not guaranteed a truck. Some trainees end up staying on the trainers truck for an additional 10k miles when another truck becomes available. Your chances of getting good training during that time is 50/50. Some of these trainers don’t let you back because they’re too nervous to let new drivers back up the truck. Especially lease operators. You end up feeling more like a team truck rather than learning all the ins and outs of the business. My advice would be to get your CDL with a company who trains you during the day and for a shorter period of time. Roehl is a great option.

I made the mistake of going with Roehl over Prime. Your recruiter is lying. I had 19 days between Phase 2 and 3 waiting for a crappy trainer then waiting for my truck. All unpaid. They made me do 2-34 hour resets in one week due to no freight. I wish you the best, but serve your time and get out. Roehl is a garbage company.
