CR England - The real story

Q: What kinda Big truck truck drivin' gig pays as well, or better,
when the wheels ain't turnin'?

A: A company that specializes in doin' trade shows, ---ESPECIALLY for I/C's.

While doin' trade shows, --- paid to sit, sometimes for as long as 14 days (San Francisco), but usually 9 days minimum. Salaried, in a motel/hotel --- once in the Governor's Suite with real gold fixtures at a 5-Star hotel (San Diego), all complete with a rent-a-car or other transportation provided to stroll around in.
Check in at the show in the morning 'round 10:am for an hour or so, and again in the evening after the doors close, for about an hour or so. The rest of the time is y'all's.
Yeah, it's a rough gig, especially when the Hawaiian Tropics Girls are doin' the same show --- But SOMEbody hasta do it.

Could be a boat show, motorcycle show, snowmobile show, a photo shoot, even a Super Bike race at Daytona or Willows or Infineon Raceway up thar in California wine country. Paid well to sit.

Run 4,000 miles a week?
Been there, done that, ---
then re-wrote the book.
Creative Logging 101 & 102, Advanced Logging, and Multiple Booking For Dummies, all a thing of the past, unless things slip behind schedule and without what's in y'all's trailer, the million dollar show won't go on.
That seldom happens, but if it does,........
Failure is not an option.
No pressure there.
Rise to the occasion and
Git-er-Done.
No whinin' 'bout it.
It's the challenge then, and past practices are put to use.

Best of all, .........
No more grocery warehouses to sit at, waiting ---- or lumping y'all's load.
NopE!

More like gold mines, military bases, high-dollar, pad wrapped loads, and other places Big truck truck drivers seldom see, --- inbetwixt the trade shows.

I'm sure glad there's folks who'll run 4,000 miles a week and think that's good. That leaves positions doin' the better gigs to slackers like me. I think runnin' fewer miles for higher pay is the better route to take.
To each their own, eah?

AfterShock Afterthought :
How many miles have y'all run in one sitting, --- never swinging the left door open from start to finish?
Is around 830 miles in the ballpark?
Legally?!
According to what the log book indicates, it is.
Color me gone.

 

Drive for Schwan...Ding Ding.

 

Somebody needs to WAKE UP, ALOT of inexperienced drivers talking trash. Sounds good typing it on these boards, take it out into reality.

 

hey bean town if you drive 4k a week does dot evr see both log books at the same or did you find a goo hidding spot until you need it

 

Hello. i am a student in a cdl school. i am being offered a job at Roehl but i hear mixed stories about the company. Does England hire green drivers. if not can you sheed some honest light on Roehl since you talk to drivers?
Thank you for your adivce

 

Now, those right thar are a couple of thought provoking questions jest beggin' fer answers.
I'd give it a shot, but I'd only be guessin' the answer.

What do you think, DDawg?
If the DOT pulled bean town over would bt hand 'em both books right off the bat, or see if the DOT can actually, really read a cooked comic book?
If the DOT examines the log book and doesn't ask any questions afterward, --- they can't read a log. Lookin' at'cher log book is just a con act to make y'all think that they can read logs, when they're really best at sawin' logs.

Now, ..................

If by chance they can read a log book, and discover an overheated coloring book --- and, ..... unless there's an explanation forthcoming, expensive citation$ will be.

'Splain' how y'all got from there, to there, 640 miles, ....... and now you're here, 530 miles, .......from there where y'all started looks like a total of 1,170 miles to my highly trained eyes.
Y'all's log entries indicate you've driven this Big truck over 1,000 miles today without taking a 10 hour break.

LooK! ------->
----->from there-----> to there, you're logged in the sleeper., while the Big truck drove itself, or y'all drove it from the sleeper, --- ----->530 miles from there -----> to here, where y'all are standin' now.

Tell me boy, can you levitate?
How doya 'splain this?
MaN-0-MaN, officer, sir, .......... I'm sure I don't know.
It's a mystery to me how I levitated from there to here. I always wanted to be able to do that, ..... but I never dreamed that I can.
Wait'll the chicks check that out.
I'm gonna go tell my co-driver.
Oh wait. He's asleep.
How 'bout I jest grab his log book?

By then he'd be so embarrassed it ain't likely he'd press the issue past that.
GawAN, ............ git, ....... before I, ...............

Moral of the story?
Never hide a log book in a goo spot 'till y'all need it.
Have that puppy sittin' up an' ready to go. Y'all never know when
y'all will be suspected of:smt082 levitating in a commercial vehicle at the K-Falls scales.:smt100

What were you sayin' DDawg?:smt102
I was typin' so loud I didn't hear your answer.:smt024
My bad,...........................................
Go ahead,........

So now, tell me, ........ have we learned anything today? glasses7:

 

I look around while I am still training and it's a pitiful sight. I hear nothing but complaints just from the newbies of which I am one. The difference is I have been in management and known what it takes to please the company. Do you job, be reliable, on time, be safe and courteous.

I had a roommate who was doing dedicated Dollar General runs and he was complaining about all the hard labor he had to do. Just think of it, he had to roll the cage into the store with the product in it. OH MY GOD!!!!!! So much work! Just so happens this porker weighed in about 400 pounds and the only thing he did in the hotel was stuff his face.

I'm sure he will be another one the company took advantage of before he quits. I asked for another room. I could not listen to his mindless dribble for another second. Werner was nice enough to oblige. Back on the road tonight.

 

Bob, you work for Werner, correct?

 

if you can proove that a person can run 4k a week at 62mph oh wait 57 mph which adds up to 528 miles per dat theres no way to do that which does not include pre trips fuel load and unload or even drop and hook the math bdoes not add up there after shock so ill ask you to prove how does a driver run 4k a week when they can onle legelly log 5 miles under there governed speed dere?

 

od if they did run 4k theyd have alot of log violations from england and probably be shut down taking a log class or be fired depending on the level they were on
