Roehl Transport Employee Reviews about "communication"

If you are still a current employee, I encourage you to work with your Fleet Manager and your Fleet Operations Manager to develop a plan for your success. We literally put Driver Success on our Wall of Values, and, like Safety, they resonate throughout the organization.

Thanks so much for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We encourage you to reach out to your leadership with any specific concerns so that we can help develop a plan for your success. We appreciate your comments!

I encourage you to share your concerns with your fleet manager or fleet operations manager. I know for a fact that we care about our teammates and the motoring public – that’s why Safety is our Cornerstone value.

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.

If you have not already done so, please work with your fleet manager or fleet operations manager to develop a plan for your success. Roehl is built on values like Do the Right Thing & Driver Driven – we want you to be a successful member of our team!
