Pluspunten

Driver orientation is the only legitimate point regarding this company. But it comes with an unjustified and potentially damaging cost.

Minpunten

Fleet managers having managerial discretion when they are not actual managers. They are dispatchers and are not part of the hiring process and should not be a liaison to Human Resources, acting as an alternative to such, or any other departments within the company. Since everyone in dispatch are classified as managers, there are no supervisors or HR reps at any of the terminal locations. PLEASE NOTE: This Company participates in predatory practices in the form of their debt contractual agreements used in the hiring process of new employees and apply this practice to their orientation class. DO NOT SIGN THESE CONTRACTS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!! Once you sign you are automatically in debt to Roehl, and they can terminate you without cause, especially if they deem you an unfavorable employee. They WILL draft your final paycheck immediately following termination. From recruiters to dispatchers, the employees at this company will lie to you about everything, and are not forthcoming and transparent. They will also interfere with your pay, delay detention pay, dishonor home time requests, and subject you to unprovoked hostility, intentionally poor communication interactions and hostile work environment because they know they have you on the hook with a contract. This is in part how they make their money. They will sell the so-called debt contract to a collections agency. They will also alter your HOS, force loads regardless of safety concerns, AND WILL USE HIRERIGHT AS A REVENGE TACTIC FOR ALL TERMINATED EMPLOYEES. This company also engages in coercion, which is a federal violation of FMCSA.

Gee, if this is true, we wouldn’t work here either. Fortunately what you list as facts are far from the truth. But don’t take our word for it. Ask our 2,000 + driving teammates who recently nominated Roehl as one of the best fleets to drive for. Ask the hundreds of one, two, three, four and even 5 million mile safe drivers employed at Roehl. Ask the dozens of our teammates who will be honored soon at our annual Awards Banquet where we celebrate Driver Success. And we back up everything we offer in writing to our prospective drivers in their offer letters. Roehl has grown from a one truck operation in 1962 to one of the safest and largest trucking companies in 2019. Our success is built on the values of Safety, Honesty and Driver Success. For over 15 years, Roehl has been named a Top Pay Carrier by the National Transportation Institute. We were recently named one of the best mid-sized employers to work for. We are company built by a driver and led by a driver. Everything we do centers on our drivers. If half of what you say in your review is true, we’d have never experienced the success we have. We stand on that success.

Pluspunten

Good equipment, brand new trucks, maintenance is efficient, management is competent, terminals are mostly in good shape, GYCDL program is relatively good. Builds really good habits regarding safety. CEO is a driver. High standards for safe driving. Free company-paid showers at Loves. Went to all 48 states in CONUS while OTR. This could be a 5 star company with the right pay/time off.

Minpunten

Basement level pay, very minimal time off, GYCDL program is steep. You get billed $7k USD if you quit before 120k miles, and that's realistically 2 years of driving for terrible pay. You have to get your strapping job approved by management before moving. I make 3x the pay doing the same job for almost half the hours at an adjacent company. It's very frustrating, the company is well-run otherwise. There is pressure to work a minimum of 50-60h a week, but I often ran my 70h clock out and still was told it isn't enough. That brought my rate to almost minimum wage per hours worked, sometimes lower. If the pay and home time situation weren't abusive, this company would be legitimately incredible to work for.

We appreciate your perspective and feedback – especially calling out all the really great things about Roehl (equipment, terminals, Rick Roehl’s leadership and certainly our cornerstone value of safety). With regards to pay and home time – there’s definitely a balance between the two. We know that our pay is competitive with things like address-to-address practical route mileage, dynamic pay based on the length of haul, full per diem and our profit-sharing program being important components. We also measure getting our driving teammates home in the same way we track on-time customer delivers – that’s all part of our commitment to Driver Success.
