Roehl Driver Check In

I have the

Coleman PowerChill Thermoelectric Cooler. ​

It doesn't fit in the space. So,you will see many drivers who either leave them on the floor or in the passenger seat. Mine is buckled into the passenger seat.

It's a good cooler, but the plugs burn up. I have replaced 3 of them so far.

 

At the J in Tulsa. So I find out the place I am going to doesn't open until 0800. Hmmmmm so why did they tell to be there at 0600? No matter Dispatch in Gary updated my ETA to 0800. So while enroute this morning I get a pre plan. Pick up a trailer tomorrow at GP in Muskogee after and head to Rome, NY for a Weds delivery. I send a message stating I can get it it get it started but I don't have the hours left to make it there by Weds and I don't get any back until Friday. I suggest to set up a relay in Mogadore if they want it there by Weds. I get a response saying I need to get with my FM in the morning about it because there in no Driver available to help me right now. So I call Dispatch in Gary after I get shut down and try to find what the planner was thinking when they put that load on me. I was told the planner knows I don't have the hours to make it there by Weds but I am the only available Driver in the area that can pick it up. I tell them I can get it there on Thurs if I do reset enroute. I gave them some options now it is up to them to decide what they want to do.

 

For our regional guys that don't take riders we remove the passenger seat and put a large fridge in.

 

Been there done that. Weekend/nights is just about worthless for any decisions.

 

Eds truck stop i35 waco, dive no 2..parked and my truck is nicr.

 

Finally, gorgeous day in twin cities. Sunny, warm, don't need a jacket, can actually wear shorts comfortably.

 

Day 2 at home. I spoke with my FM today. They understand the issues I am having at home and was out much longer then I was supposed to be with no complaints so they are allowing me a few more days at home to handle my family situation. Kinda miss being on the road already..

 

I think I am going to get the same cooler and go with the seat belt into the passenger seat. I've heard the cords are to short and heat up. I was told the best remedy is to buy an extension and it spreads the heat better and will last.
