    Apparently not, but scott, this is literally every weekend that I'm sitting either Friday night or Saturday morning until monday morning. Every weekend. Every single one. once They even took me off a load that was delivering close to home to have me take one To BE WV for the weekend. luckily the 11th is my last day and don't have to deal with that any more

    I'd be having a long chat with my FM, but moot since you're leaving. Shouldn't have to sit that much.

    I told her I hate sitting on the weekends (or anytime) and that any time I'm sitting I'm spending that time finding a new job, but it never changed. So I found a new job.
     
    Dark Squall and Heysunshine Thank this.

    I can't completely badmouth roehl. They schooled me and learnt me well. Before starting wdtc I've never even seen the inside of a big truck. They got me to confident that I can handle securing and pulling ANY load. Even oversize. My fm, while letting me sit on weekend and not getting me many miles, got me a ton of loads and always got me home when I wanted.that ton of loads (that and living in the right place) got me a job that normally only hires from within and takes 3 years of service to get there.

    Roehl flatbed, at least for now, looks #### good on a resume.
     
    Dark Squall Thanks this.

    Idk what's going on inside the company, bit even in my short exp, I can tell its dramatically different than it was even since last fall.
    My FM is an exceptional one. He would be great anywhere.
    When he was on vac, it was hell on me. Got a really crappy load out of Henkel tonight. Reworked twice before legal.

    I like that Speedway. Its good for a night....sorry its for the weekend, GS.
    Wouldn't like that either.

    As long as there is a bar within a short walk (there is) it's not as bad. Talked to a couple drivers there. Helped a refer guy slide his tandems and he showed me the broker boards for my area.

    Well, in that case. Cheers.
    That area is my neck of the woods. Can't wait to get back.
    Got a bedroom that needs me to rebuild.
    Also got to get to Marshfield, so I can pick up 5214... Its been ready since Mon.
