Avantages
The GYCDL program is very thorough. Trucks are well maintained. Terminals are fairly nice.
Inconvénients
They put you up in a hotel during the program but you will share a room with a stranger. After that I moved on to Phase 2. I had to wait at home for 3 weeks before I was assigned to a trainer, and then I was living in a truck sleeping on the upper bunk which is cramped. I had to keep all my belongings up there. I worked constantly during phase 2, only getting a break when I was sleeping or if my trainer got home time. In my case that meant I was put in a hotel room for 3 days. Complete that and I was assigned a truck and started Phase 3, where I was on my own supervised by a fleet manager. I didn't get many miles once I was on my own. The pay is too low for all the responsibility of driving a semi truck. If I could do it all over I would not come to Roehl.
