    WELL I WAS STUCK IN THE WEST COAST ON THE DEC.23RD NOT LOOKING LIKE I WAS GONNA MAKE IT HOME FOR CHRISTMAS. ROEHL PROMISED ME A WEEK PRIOR THAT I WOULD BE HOME WITH MY FAMILY. THEY KEPT THEIR WORD... THEY HAD ME DRIVE FROM OREGON TO UTAH AND FROM THERE PARKED MY TRUCK AT A CUSTOMER. THEY GOT ME A TAXI TO THE AIRPORT AND FLEW ME HOME. ITS WAS A ROUGH FLIGHT BUT I'M HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS, LIKE THEY PROMISED I WOULD. THANKS KICIA AND JIM FOR EVERYTHING. BECAUSE OF YOU I WAS ABLE TO BE WITH MY WIFE AND KIDS. MERRY CHRISTMAS!:biggrin_25514:AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

    Thats awesome! Now days you don't see many companies willing to do that for drivers. When I first stated driving 10 years ago I drove for ATS (Anderson trucking service) and back then if you wanted to be home for Christmas they would do the same thing, but they don't do that anymore. So hats off to Roehl for holding up there end of the bargain.

    Wow, that's great to hear! Roehl's one of the companies I'm looking into so that's a big plus they'd do that for their drivers. If you don't mind me asking, how long have you been working for Roehl and did you have to go though many DM's to find one that was good?

    Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to you and your family!

    That's unheard of anymore. Glad to hear that some people still care about their drivers!

    Wow! Way to step up, Roehl! You don't hear much good come from a "big" carrier.
    Hopefully they are coming around from when I was there. It sounds good.
