    Hey all

    been a long time since i posted on here. had a good run with Roehl as a solo driver. i quit because they owed me 1400ish dollars, and wouldn't pay me because the copy of the BOL i transflowed didn't have a signature, and my fleet manager never got me home. i'd let them know when i wanted to be home two months ahead of time, and they'd get me there a month after i had asked to be home. also she all but held a gun to my head saying i had to be back at my truck after 3 days, even after being gone 75+ days.


    so now i have a friend thats going to cdl school, and he wants to team with me. I'd love to keep flatbedding, but as i was to understand as i was driving there's not too much out there for team flatbed. maybe curtain side? i'm not sure. i honestly don't care what i pull i just want to get OTR again.

    so who....who out there in the wild wild blue of trucking companies has the best set up for team driving?

    please, and thank you!

    Your story about Roehl is as far from my reality as you can get. On van they have always got me home within a day or two of when I asked and so far I've never had an issue with pay and I check it weekly. Have had several BOLs without signature/stamp and never had a problem. Sounds like you needed a better FM.

    yeah she was pretty terrible to work with. it also was strange because they based me out of phoenix, and i live in alabama. the whole time i worked there i never even went to atlanta to the terminal near there.... she always told me what a good job i did, almost everyday, but if someone took too long loading me or unloading me, i got screamed at...because we all know its the drivers fault that the shipper is taking their sweet ### time.

    I know a team at Interstate Distributor that's getting good miles (I run solo there on the reefer side). I think they have a sign on bonus for teams right now, but don't quote me.
