    The wreck we saw tonight appears to have been a rollOver while getting on the on ramp. It's a pretty tight curve too coming north on Indianapolis blvd to the east bound on ramp. The other guys saw it a bit before us and said it had been on it's side.

    Orientation is over. They sent the guys who drove their own car home for the weekend. Which is great because it's father's day this weekend. I'll be meeting up with my trainer Monday at some point. I felt bad for one of the experienced guys. He got one of the blue Roehl trucks they bought from that refer outfit. It was dirty as hell, they were a pair of underwear from the previous driver in there. I'm sure he spent most of his day yesterday just cleaning it.

    AmateurTrucker's previous post pretty much nailed it. Just don't get the pulled pork at Round the Clock.

    From what I hear the Illinios crash was due to speed. Too fast on the ramp. Those posted ramp speeds are for cars, not trucks. I'm sure there will be a mandatory safety meeting about this subject very soon.

    Yea got a voicemail today about all this. 4 rollovers in 40 days and 2 dui's in a short time too. Guess that explains my alcho. Test with the random drug screen the other week lol.. very sad to see someone lost their life out here and a fellow roehl driver. Condolinces to the family for sure.

    I will say this about Marshfield, you get a nice clean truck when you get it there. My truck was spotless inside and the floors looked washed down.
