The Roehl break down.

By RGN do you mean regional?

Roehl is just another mega turd anyway. Just rinse and repeat to another.

 

Murder, amputation, rollovers, I get it, an OTR training company. In defense of the ones that did the murdering, I trained for 5 years at my last company, I completely understand how people snap.

 

From reading this, and follow posts, it is the outcome from a new generation of people in trucking today. Seems extremely micromanaged and company seems to accept no responsibility or accept any loss at all. There were no companies like this when I started driving that had structures as such. They paid per mile, no sliding scale, no escrow, always let drivers take trucks home, accepted the fact that minor damage will occur to equipment and did not charge drivers for it and allowed drivers to fuel wherever they wanted. This company clearly has no concern for drivers from reading the post. Seems to be the case with most all companies today in that drivers are just a number and only used to make them money.

All the unnecessary tracking and phone calls in most of these companies tells me-a new generation of people in the office who think they need information all the time instead of allowing the drivers to just drive. I believe most drivers would/will call them if a situation arouse or running late. Its also in brokering, shipping, receiving etc. Years ago a driver picked up the load and was given a deliver time and that was it-the load got there when it got there and not this 24 hour a day all day long tracking and ETA and phone calls to a driver. Micromanagement, tracking and phone calls were not needed back in the day and freight got picked up and delivered on time-so why is all this red-tape needed today. Roehl in my opinion is a company for new drivers out of driving school and not much else.

The problem with the trucking industry to day are the new generation of people in the offices with a computer/cell phone brain syndrome geared to micormanagement who cannot accept the fact that things do and will happen not to their liking.

..and what about drivers, who are solar powered, refusing to drive after 1700 hrs, or before 0600, refuse to go to certain states, or cities, want no more than 350 miles a day, shutting down in a rain, want every weekend off, new truck every 6 months, have to take a trailer to the shop to change a mudflap, etc.

There is room for improvement on both sides of that coin.
