    All I can say is HaHaHa! Wasn't me, but if I would have been on the road with you, would have passed to. I don't care who you are, trainer or not. If you re going slower than me, I will pass you. IMO, if you don't like getting passed by another Roehl driver, speed up or get off the road. Ive been passed before and it doesn't bother me. That driver was just in a bigger hurry than I was.

    When I worked there we had a driver that would shut it down any time the snow started flying. Guy lived in Benton Harbor, MI and would shut down for flurries. Hard to tell the customers why we aren't delivering on time when there are no road closures. Point is everyone has a different comfort level in the snow, I can't believe some dude/dudette had the nerve to call you in because you are more comfortable than he/she was.

    speaking of snow storms....i was thinking after your last few posts that "MELTOM" would be a great name for next years "M" winter storm. Maybe I should write the weather channel and make the suggestion. I will personally never forget my first trip to Marshfield...surviving Luna.

    weather channel...i've always like that stephanie.....meteorologist...sorta cute in some way.

    Well second attempt at picking up a load wasn't successful. They made me pick up at kraft in Jacksonville and it was 44k. Can't haul that much in a dry box. So now that have me picking up coffee tomorrow in Jacksonville. They say it's 40.5k but I'm having a hard time believing its going to be that light. Hope I am proved wrong! So will pick up in the morning, get on the road and scale out about 40 miles away. Going to outskirts of ATL so once I drop ima rush over to ellenwood and pick up a flat. Screw this dry box stuff! Flatbed is where it is at!!!!

    How much equipment do u have on your truck? I've scaled 47k before. Coffee shouldn't be too bad that place sucks balls though. The people are real nice ech... As long as your under 76k you can have 40k on your tandems in GA. Just make sure your drives are good. Or u can scale whichever. That was me on 295 in between Pritchard and Commonwealth. You going to ATL marketplace in Lithuania springs by chance lol. Trying to think of what grocery wrehse your going too

    I can't haul anything over 41k coopnp. Should I be concerned it will be over that? I can't get ahold of the shipper and I can't use their scale on site the security guard said.

    I regret my decision but they busted their ### getting me home on time so it's ok. Roehl has always did everything they can to meet and exceed my expectations so I know bumps like these aren't common issues!

    My guess it'll be 38k highly doubt it'll be over 40k. What did the load assignment say? Sometimes they're accurate.

    At palatka GP this place has gone down hill since laser spot took over.
