Nice seeing this video. I just got done with orientation and went home with my truck with the same account. Start Monday. Keep posting videos

[@ministryinthemaking1927]

I hope you keep bringing your son along. This is the first time we've seen you smile and laugh In all of your videos

[@MAW-g3r]

You are blessed with a beautiful family! Your son is great at capturing content.!

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

Thank you very much 🙏I am very blessed with them indeed and very thankful for them. They motivate me a lot. And Carter is great company to have a long. I miss him when he's not with me, haha.

[@chuckkee2770]

Carter makes a great cameraman. Nice to see you enjoying your new job. Take care, Drive safe and God bless you and your family Dillon.

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

Thank you very much 🙏 God bless you as well, Chuckkee, and it's good to hear from you! Carter is great to have along for sure. He has been going to work with me off and on since he was around 6. Be safe out there 👍

[@TheNorvikWay]

When I first started at UPS I did similar kind of unloading. We unloaded from drop frame trailers that had rollers in them. Then the shifter would jack the trailer all the way up so it would have an downhill incline to it. The rollers still didn't roll very well. Glad to see that everything seems to be going well. It's great to see Carter and you out together again. I bet he is really enjoying it as well as are you. Wishing you and the family all the best..... safe travel's 🙏 boyfriend.....👍🤙

[@booker.ehicks87]

Thank you for the video.

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

It's my pleasure 🙏 Thank you!

[@AZVIDS]

Good to see you enjoying the new job👍👍👍

[@mikeduncan5932]

If you are looking to maintain drive time to get back to the DC, we had a trick that you may know. I was taught to get to the unload location the night before and get as close to the setup spot as possible. In the morning you can finish setting up and then get unloaded without setting off your Elog. After unloaded, do your pretrip and head out. But, if it took you 2 or 3 hrs to get unloaded, you save that time. Some drivers go on duty when they start unloading

[@brettbrown9814]

Great to see your copilot with you!

[@grizzlyridgerunner]

Nice co-pilot you got there, driver .you seem happy and enjoying your new position. Safe travels driver and carter. Thanks for sharing 🙏 find some good rollers and get a rack .once you get your system down how you want it, things will be smother .Great job, gentlemen 💪🇺🇸🇺🇸✌️

[@Willy_On_Wheels]

Good to see you’re doing well out there man. It’s cool that you get to take your son with you and spend good time together. I started with my trainer today. The real world is definitely different than the gycdl world lol. Stay safe and take care.

[@RuckthaRuler]

I've been watching your videos for about 2 weeks now because I was interested in the Roehl training program. I have been trying to figure out what part of KY you are from and just heard you say Mount Sterling. I'm in Winchester and have been to that truck stop many times. Thanks for all the videos and especially for not taking the scriptures out. Keep on trucking boys. God Bless

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

God bless you as well and thank you very much for the kind words 🙏 I have been to winchester many times and have even lived there for a short period of time. Thank you again for the kind words. I appreciate that a lot!

[@edwinrios6945]

​@@bluegrassoutdoorsgood job

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

@@edwinrios6945 thank you 🙏

[@williamvangorden44]

Some times it all the way to the door Be careful.. One too many times things have falling out when opening at the door so just be careful.

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

You're right! The one I am getting tomorrow is to the door and stuff fell out when I opened it. I left it there til tomorrow.

[@collinhenning4732]

Gonna start here in a couple weeks..I was curious to the variety of the trucks they have for us to pick out??

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

@collinhenning4732 they don't let you pick, as far as I know. But I know they have freightliners and kenworths.

[@Donny-D843]

Waiting for more videos ❤❤❤

[@Crankshaft-cq1nd]

Hope you are liking the new gig. I remember you saying that you got paid at the end of the 3 week training program at roehl, how much was that? I want to do it but need to take money out for the time I am in training and want to know what to expect. Safe travels, man.

[@Willy_On_Wheels]

Your first payday is on the last Thursday that you’re there. After taxes it’s about $550.

[@wonderwonder6880]

Wait until you get back haul. Almost for nothing you'll 👀 what about return cardboard and plastic containers

[@ministryinthemaking1927]

Where have you been.

[@xbigman78x79]

Hey I’ve been offered a job with family dollar in Marianna Florida. How is the pay on the FD account?

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

Minimum $1700 a week as long as you are on time. It is very physical work.

[@naterice482]

Was Roehl and the family dollar account both good with getting you home on time every weekend?

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

Roehl was good about it. So far, the family dollar account with us xpress has been less home time and they say their schedule isn't consistent.

[@jonathang5753]

How many days do you work and how many days do rest ?

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

You get a 34 hour reset for the weekend. I've been going home Friday and leaving Sunday.

[@jonathang5753]

Thanks man for the information god bless you and your family , good luck out there

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

@jonathang5753 God bless you as well and you're very welcome 🙏

[@xbigman78x79]

How does the pay work?

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

@@xbigman78x79 minimum $1700 a week as long as you are on time.

[@xbigman78x79]

@@bluegrassoutdoorsthey are telling me no guaranteed pay or true up pay.

[@xbigman78x79]

Does Family Dollar set appointments to unload on Sunday?

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

Is it us xpress? We had true up the whole time I was there, and they had it for many years. It used to be $2000. It was $1700 when I was there. I'm not positive if they schedule them Sunday, but I believe so because they told me they expected us to be able to work 7 days of the week and still have our 34 reset. So they wanted us to be able to work any day of the week that our reset wasn't on. And that could change from week to week

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

I'm going to schneider and the account is similar to that one. But you get 48 hours off and 5 days on. Only walmarts and no touch freight, pay is $1200-1400 per week, starting out.

[@MarcTavX]

U have to do all that labor and move the stuff in and out.. no way.. too much.. I thought u just drive the trucks..

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

It's touch freight. A whole different ball game than no touch freight. I prefer it myself. It's minimum $1700 a week(before taxes) as long as you are on time.

[@MarcTavX]

@@bluegrassoutdoors how much is the minimum for no touch and how many days driving vs days off...

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

@MarcTavX it depends on where you are. Some places have no minimum. That's what I like about this company, the true-up pay. I was a regional driver for roehl transport and I worked 5 days and then off for 48 hours. I averaged around $900 a week, after taxes.

[@MarcTavX]

How much did roehl pay you over week during training? What is the most you made with roehl after training per week. And how many hours or days did u stay away from home during the driving with a trainer phase in the beginning and how much did that part pay ? Thank you

[@MarcTavX]

I thought truck drivers made at least 2000 or more per week minimum. I make 900 a week as a waiter... was hoping to hear about more money...

[@chelseanoah1909]

Can we get a pay day video

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

Sure 👍

[@chelseanoah1909]

Really appreciate the videos and honest feedback. How many stores are loaded in 1 trailer

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

It's my pleasure 👍 3-5 stores in the ones I have got so far but sometimes even less, with a greater amount of freight per store.

[@chelseanoah1909]

@@bluegrassoutdoors does orientation have a backing test

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

@chelseanoah1909 yes. 45 degree and 90 degree backing.

Love your content. YT and social media in general are strange for the 'rules'. Same goes for Muslims it seems too. I guess you have to be part of the lgbtqialmnop++--:;$@ club to be safe. Stay safe on the road and keep doing what you do.

[@AZVIDS]

And June month…

[@joeymcfarland1818]

I start at roehl on the 22nd of July. Hope to see yo around. Been watching all your videos to get a general outlook on a day at roehl

[@naterice482]

Lil man is just happy to be with his dad! Glad things are going well for you.

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

Thank you very much 🙏 I'm very happy to have him along. I miss him a lot when he's not with me for sure. Thanks again for the kind words and God bless!

[@stefangale5142]

awesome hard working!

[@jasonpapacek2479]

Dylan, I've been watching your Roehl videos, and from what I've gathered you appreciate what you got from them. Do you still recommend Roehl as a starter company to go with to get your CDL and experience? Also, what were your last paychecks with Roehl before you left?

[@lifeinthevillage747]

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻⛪️✝️

[@TheMattdavison]

Do you get paid by the number of stops or the days you are out?

[@bluegrassoutdoors]

The number of stops, trailer loads, and miles. They have something called true-up, where you make $1700 a week minimun(before taxes) as long as you are on time to your stops.
