Can someone tell me if Roehl has an Albany, NY terminal? I thought I had heard that, but perhaps it's another major company.

Roehl doesn't have a terminal there, but it's possible there is a drop yard there.

If you search for Roehl's terminal locations, it'll show you nearly all of them on a map.

I am new to this and trying to find the right company to go with. What exactly is a drop yard?
Could you drop off the tractor there for the other driver (on their 7/7 program) They told me on the phone you had to drop it at a terminal.
As I may have meantioned we have a house in Brooksville, FL, they said I could work out of Jacksonville, but up north, the nearest was Phili to far away.
Thanks
Dan

Hey Dan, a drop yard is just that; a yard with parking for tractors and trailers but no facilities. I work out of the Jax yard and there are several driver running 7/7 out of there last I knew. You can run 7/7 or 7/3/7/4 out of a drop yard, but there has to be other drivers in the area doing the same.

Do not work for roehl!!!
I just started with Roehl 2 weeks ago. They put me in a truck that would not pull a load safely. It goes 15 mph up a small hill. In two weeks my truck has been in the shop 6 times. They do not pay you if their truck breaks down. I can not feed my family. All my bills are past due and they do not care. They refuse to take responsibility for their equipment failure. I am so pissed off!!! DO NOT GO TO WORK FOR THIS COMPANY!!!!! YOU WILL REGRET IT!!!

Interesting. My truck had to go in the shop twice (two different shops for same problem) and they insisted I drive a loaner truck. The second time I refused, and they weren't too happy about that. I finally agreed to take a load about 80 miles, then bring another load straight back the 80 miles.

There are to many reports like yours. SEE Central Refrigerated, read wolfdens posts. Drivers are being taken advantage of, ripped off........

Write your rep's and anyone else you can, EEOC, the congressional committee on transportation. And keep writing them. Get everyone you know to write.
Go read Central Refrigerated, read wolfden.

Same thing here......anytime we had to take the truck in for an extended period, we got a loaner.

Did you check your DRG? I thought they did offer breakdown pay......
