I'm in western NC, both my trainers were from Roehl's major freight lanes up north, 1st from Wisconsin, 2nd was based from Gary. They picked me up down here in NC going through with the comment: "I don't get down here much".

We ended up having to get a ride with one of the mechanics (in his personal car) to get our stuff because the car had been out for a few hours and they didn't know when it was coming back.

I asked about the car in Marshfield once....I was told that when the drivers that used it, started taking care of it when it was in their possesion, they would get more/nicer cars.
I'm surprised they haven't taken the cars away yet. They are disgusting. Once upon a time the company car was Everitt's old Caddy when he bought a new one. Then drivers tore it up and now we are stuck with junk. Oh well, once upon a time they had a keg a beer every friday night in Marshfield too.

MO-
I'm dumber than a re-run of Brittany and K-feds wedding, hope you can explain whats up with the per diem? I'm 6 days out from Roehl, and don't want to make the rookie mistake of "they said it was the best"

3) Our Trailers are outback but if you are lucky you may see a tractor on the other side of the guard shack.

4) No name posted anywhere.

5) Turn right (East) on OHIO st. Turn right (South) on MADDISON. Drop lot is on the left. Guard shack sets back appx 200' from the road.

6) I have forgotten the height of the bridge, but it is low enough to get your attention.


DRG says to call Kelly for a parking permit. Gives her extension number. Might have been another way to find the drop lot.

So is it to much to ask Roehl to put my line 5 in the directions? Is it to hard? Are they that busy? Do there fingers hurt that much?

How did I find that low RR bridge? simple enough I was looking for GATEWAY TRUCK STOP not a PILOT and by the time I realized that it was the Pilot it was way to late.

Rum you are lucky if you missed the turn for Gateway. Not only is there a low clearance on 203, it is also a light road (73280). Since I'm from Illinois and used to drive dump buckets I had to learn about weight limits on Illinois roads, we usually were loaded to a minimum of 78000. I remember when Pilot bought out the Gateway Truck Plaza. It only happened a couple of years ago. Evidently only the truck stop is Pilot because the repair shop and general offices are still named Gateway. Anyone who runs any state routes in Illinois I would advise to stop into any of the "coops" and pickup the truck route map. It shows the low clearances and weight restricted routes. It can save you a few thousand dollars in fines, especially in Chicago.

As for drop yards there are some real nightmares. If going to the West Memphis yard heading east on I-40 you have to get off at the exit for Pilot. Go right up to the frontage road before I-55. Then you go left on the frontage road. Madison has terrible directions our area is hidden off the road and behind a blue building. You have to turn into the only entrance to CET then look over to your 3:00 position and you will see our drop yard hidden back there. Dayton is bad in the day and impossible at night (there are no lights except what you have on your truck.) Roehl has some very poor directions both in their driver's guide and on the quallcom.
