Nice training truck, looks pretty nice. I like it. Once a person is out and on their own in their own truck, I'm assuming the driver can have their own personal fridge, Microwave, and small TV from the looks of it... What is a good size for a flat panel TV that will be ok in these trucks? The Microwave cubby, will a 1.2 ft³ 1000 watt unit fit in the cubby? 17.5 deep 11.78 tall 21 wide Or does it need to be smaller? I already have a 3.1 ft³ double door mini fridge in my basement in the family room that should work just fine in the fridge area... The bed, I'm reading that the mattress measurements are 40" by 80" Sounds like a Twin xl. Definitly sounds pretty roomy. Any insight on these questions would be appreciated and I'm looking forward to coming to Roehl Transport for this career change. I'm committed and will do what ever it takes to succeed.

19 to 26 days with a trainer then you're on your own!

@@BullseyeBob Over the coarse of 23 days with two different trainers due to trainer number one going on home time after a week and a half they put me on my own in an International LT. I do like the big windows in the back. I have been at it now for a month on my own now. I ended up on a dedicated home weekly run which I am doing well at. And since it is regional some of the time I don't bother looking at the co-pilot as I already know where to go as it is roads I somewhat know already. In Marshfield and passed the test first time even after mucking up a practice 90 back that morning. But the instructor there wasn't teaching us to put it in perfectly he was teaching us how to correct it if we did mess up which is a good thing to know.

Jd, I'm not at Roehl anymore.....I drive for a carrier based 7 miles from my house now. No worries about a trainer, just communicate your preferences and Roehl will find a trainer for you. If one doesn't work out, you can switch to a new trainer. My trainer, Dave in truck 6832, has the best personality of them all.....might be worth asking for him!!
