Company Overview

Roehl Transport is a family-owned carrier based in Marshfield, Wisconsin, known for its GYCDL (Get Your CDL) training program and practical mileage pay system.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roehl Transport

Roehl pays drivers based on the shortest practical route mileage (like what your GPS shows) instead of the shorter HHG (Household Goods) mileage that most carriers use. This typically means 5-10% more paid miles per load.

GYCDL (Get Your CDL) is Roehl's company-paid CDL training program. The program covers tuition, lodging, and meals during training. Graduates commit to driving for Roehl for a specified period.

Curtainside (or conestoga) trailers have retractable tarps on a rail system, allowing side-loading like a flatbed but with weather protection like a van. Roehl is one of the few carriers offering a dedicated curtainside division.
