    Hubby and I were coming thru Colorado on I-70 Monday and in a rest area was a Roehl truck and flatbed sitting there empty with a big red tag from DOT stating it was unattended for more than 48 hours and it was going to be towed. I called them and got a Corey in after hours and told him what I saw and he said he would call the driver. Good luck with that one. The truck number is 4526

    I'm thinking a driver got pissed and left the truck there. It was one of those rest stops that was off the highway and not visible from the road. I can't imagine the driver living out that way.

    Or as has been happening more and more lately, the driver was in the truck still and no longer with the living.
    Hopefully the officer that tagged the truck checked the sleeper.

    Man that sounds like a really funny idea. Next time I run across an orange sticker on a truck, oh sorry that would be the other way. I'll call the company to make them look stupid and then I will make myself look even better by giving out the drivers truck number as well. Has all I've heard about drivers working together as a band of brothers has completely disapeared or is it clearly an act by few, who for no other reason then for retailiation against certian companies for person gain. Either way it's funny right? I can't wait to get my chance to try it.

    I would guess that the driver abandoned the truck, as this happens often enough that Roehl has a group drivers that almost all they do is travel around the country picking up abandoned trucks. I suspect most larger Trucking company's are the same.

    You think you are so cute don't you? If I wanted retaliation I would have done nothing and let the truck be towed. I thought I was doing them a favor by giving them a heads up that one of their trucks was in danger of being towed thus incurring them more of an expense on top of having to retrieve the unit. And I gave them the truck number so they can verify the validity of my call. But you know all the answers right? Oh wait you are a wannabe. Talk to me when you actually become a driver. Until then :biggrin_25522:

    I don't get how calling in about a truck that seems out of place would show anything other than concern. Anyone who has been out here for very long knows that it is more likely that truck drivers will be the victims of foul play rather than the perpetrators. Drivers are getting older and from time to time they end up incapacitated and unable to call for help. Then you have the drivers who get fed up and abandon the truck in the middle of nowhere.

    As far as posting the truck number, since this is a Roehl forum, someone may know who the driver of that truck is or was. If someone called in that my truck had been sitting in a little farm town by a grain elevator for two days they would simply be told that the driver was on his hometime. If there was a notice that the truck was in danger of being towed I would like to know so that I could move it. If it was loaded I know Roehl would like to know, since they are responsible for the load.

    bcso809 If you haven't figured out this forum yet, let me help. Drivers like to gossip. We spend a lot of time alone in our trucks and whether by voice or writing we like to tell war stories, gossip, joke and most of all complain. As for giving a driver a hard time, I have a much better way than calling in about an out of place truck and all I need is a quarter.
