Roehl Transport Reviews

We really appreciate the feedback - thanks for sharing your thoughts and for being a part of our team!

Thank you for your 5-star review! We're proud to have you as part of TeamRoehl!

Thanks for sharing your feedback. Having drivers in leadership roles is an essential part of our business, which is why our CEO still drives to this day. Our pay plans are structured in a way that our best drivers earn the highest pay – and we’ve been recognized as a Top Pay Carrier and we’ve been nominated as a Best Fleets to Drive For. Finally, the self-driving trucks comment. We’ve developed programs and home time that appeals to experienced truck drivers and we’ve invested heavily in our paid CDL training program to bring new, safe driver into the transportation industry. Our Wall of Values features Driver Success, and I encourage you to work with your Fleet Manager to develop a plan for your success.... MoreLess

As a driver with at least five years with Roehl, (and it sounds like a trainer too), I can only imagine your frustration. Please share your concerns with your chain of management. You can also share feedback through the My Roehl app (suggestions) and on the survey you get when you finish your last set of trips. With regards to the new pay plan option - there is a video available in the News section of the My Roehl app that explains the changes and your fleet manager should be able to offer you guidance about the plan that will work best for you (we want our best performers to make the most and that's on the Premium Mileage Rate Plan). I truly hope you work with your teammates to help them understand what's going on so it can improve.... MoreLess

Hello. I can tell you are frustrated. I know that I would be too, if I felt like I wasn’t being seen or heard by our company, and I too might be tempted to vent that frustration in a public sphere rather than working with my manager. I hope you’ll take my suggestions in the spirit in which they are offered – using our values of Driver Success, Mutual Support and Teamwork and Integrity. Here are a couple of things to remember and consider, and after you’ve read them, I hope you’ll take the time to contact your Fleet Manager or Fleet Operations Manager and develop a plan for your success.

I’m glad you appreciate the paid CDL training, and congratulations on being accepted into our program. You might not know this: our acceptance rate is quite low. Second, we continue to work on our communications between individuals and departments to increase our efficiency. While I cannot speak for your specific situation, I can say that a core component of Driver Success is respecting your time.

With regards to your truck, two things stand out. Despite the fact that our trucks are all basically two years old or less and we have a robust preventative maintenance program, trucks do still have issues. But, when they do, we measure the time the truck is in the shop in minutes while most other companies measure that time in days. You also mentioned that trucks are waiting around for people who are not employees. We prep trucks for new experienced driving teammates during the week. Those teammates typically start on a Thursday. And keep in mind that, just like you, every driver in our Get Your CDL program is hired on the first day – they are all employees. When someone is ready, we get them the equipment they need to do their jobs.

I don’t have the insight you seem to have about office employee salaries. I do know that the top 50% of our driving teammates make more than $62,000 a year, and we have drivers making more than $80,000 a year. In addition to that, Roehl has raised driver wages numerous times in 2018, and we recently introduced a new pay plan that more closely resembles those that experienced drivers are familiar with. We offer performance-based pay plans because we believe performance is a choice and we believe that the best drivers should also be the highest paid.

Finally, our leader, Rick Roehl, is both our CEO and a driver. Rick maintains his CDL and still pulls loads to stay close to the work our driving teammates do and to what our customers expect. Suggesting he doesn’t know what is happening with our company reveals you have limited or no knowledge of how our company works or how he leads. And it is that leadership that has produced one of the nation’s safest, most successful trucking companies.

Again, I hope you will communicate with your managers and encourage you to develop a plan for your success as a part of TeamRoehl.... MoreLess

We have really added a lot of home nightly or home several nights a week runs. That's a direct result of our driving teammates sharing their feedback, and it's a credit to our operational teammates and customer service and sales teammates for making those runs work - it's great to see you are enjoying the opportunities!... MoreLess

I hope that you take the training you received and, if you are still driving, you are protecting others using the Roehl Way. Thank you for sharing your feedback.
