Roehl Driver Check In

Did you take the bus?

 

Last time i was in Marshfield i was in RDTC as well, though this time its to fix all the issues with the truck they assigned me. Told my FM today no way in hell iam freezeing my ### off at night in the truck anymore it needs to be fixed.

Though the bunk rooms are not very comfy so its a horse a piece.

 

In Gary headed to grab a bite then nice hot shower lol got both of my relays done today I pushed my luck getting to Gary but made it

No bus. I drove I live like an hour an 15 mInutes from Marshfield

 

Well they had me go and deliver yesterday traffic was a pain. Made it to a 5th wheel truck stop on the QEW, in NY now about 25 miles from shipper can't pickup until 10:00 tomorrow.

 

I pushed my luck with Chicago traffic Wednesday night and set my brakes in Gary with less than 2 minutes left on my DOT hours.

 

I am with you coop i also tire of the northeast. I asked again if i could go west ( we'll see where the frieght takes you) BS!!! I say they can route me westerly. CT to MA to PA back NJ to where you might ask Fing NY. Oh but wait back to CT and here we go i got to go west OH. . . . . Ummm whats it going to take to stop running the NE! Living on top I10 should make it easier right guess not. Is Roehl really a 48 state carrier lol! !

 

The place I delivered in ransom I got lost last time coming out for hours. I had no reception and no GPS a that time plus it was my 1st week solo. This time I had 4g most of the way and GPS routed me the way I came out last time. One way in weight limits so to say don't apply to drivers but route you a different way out. Got rid of it hit a truck stop not far from there. GPS didn't know about certain roads as usual to take so took a little detour outta there but eventually made it to 81 to hit up this petro. I non committed the Maryland load really a waste of time and 2 stops in DC area. Should've took it and said screw it but ill deal with the consequences. Weird thing is I haven't heard anything about non committing to it yet but also no pre plan not lined up which is fine. Idk when ill leave but where ever it's going most likely right back to the northeast. Pick up and drops in NY, NJ, MA, and 2 in PA in the last 2 weeks. I'd come here once a month or so a while back and hang out in the Midwest the majority mostly OH but things have changed. There's a company with 4 green letters that pays 7 cpm more on top of your cpm to run the NE, hires out of FL being home every week and pays the same I'm making now. So we'll see what happens. Hate to give up my truck, first company, and FM but oh well. Ok rant over

 

2 days ago I had a 7 way socket replaced on the trailer...

Today...
New plug on my pigtail, and new 7 way socket.


Today.. Of all days.. Had sucked the big one!!! Oh well, one thing is for sure I can always count on the phone support people to be cool. Also the weekend support people did a awesome job helping me today. So great job all around.

So I guess here I sit, on a 34, maybe. Trying to figure out if I can make it on Monday.

Starting at 1pm sat
Ending 11pm Sunday if I did that right.( long day)

Going to be pushing it. No overnight at customer either. Though......... I can use off duty driving to get to a truck stop
