The Good, The Bad, The Honest Truth of a New Roehl Lease Operator

Sorry about the wife, I know it is hard being away when things go sideways at home... I am afraid I might be in the the same kind of situation, my wifes health has been going downhill since I have returned to work. I think I was doing more at home than I realized, and now that she is left with everything it is not going well. You should clean the truck out at home and take it back to Marshfield. Did you check out flying home? Sometimes you can find cheap airline seats too... Renting a car one way is big bucks...

 

Eric... At least the final bill will be before the year end cut off for tax's if you look at it that way it might be better to let Roehl bill you than put out all the money for tickets you could claim all the expenses from Roehl but take forever to pay them if there greater then your last settlement and escrows and we all know it will be.

I'm not a tax expert at all but it makes sense to me. if you add the loss to this years tax's you could come up at a loss maybe get a refund, or put out a 1000$ right before christmas you'll never see again. Maybe some of the other guys on here could confirm if it would work.

If I remember you said Roehl would allow you to turn it in at Ellenwood with having a abandenment put on the record, just have to pay for them to recover so let them foot the bill, not sure how they are on collections but 5$ a week seems rite I mean make them work for it just like they made you work for low miles

 

The bad thing is they will probably just keep it in ellenwood and assign a new driver to it and take your $1000.00 anyway.

 

I'm still angry over the ripoff over the new fuel program and I would love to get my truck financing away from the company I'm pulling freight for. All that said we could be with CR England. There is one particular thread in the Bad Trucking area that is discussing their business practices. Basically they think if an o/o clears $700 on 3000 miles they're doing good. I clear that on 1800 to 2300 miles depending on fuel mileage.

 

Good luck Eric, my thoughts and prayers are with your family. I hope for only the best for your wife.
