ROEHL BOUND... June 14th... Relief and excitement!

Roehl is one of the better ones, good luck and enjoy the new life style.

 

Hindsy ~ They were supposed to deliver at 7am but the permit didn't come in so who knows when they will deliver. He may get bounced to Ellenwood to pick up a trailer because his load is logging equipment on it's own trailer. I'll let him know you may be there if he heads that way.

 

They unloaded around 2:30 but they are bobtailing to Ohio to pick up new trailers and take them to Gary.

 

How do you know when to say No? Like with your truck. Do THEY, dispatch, have the power to fire you? I wouldn't want to leave my truck either. I feel like I would never see it again OR they would take their sweet time cuz I was back on the road in a loaner. I just wonder what can you get away with in protecting yourself and not make the dispatches hate you or get fired? Just curious. So much to learn.......

 

if they say loaner, you take it and go, the other one is assigned, have had one just gotten rid of and got another after the loaner... its not your truck its Roehl's. And yes dispatch(fleet manager) is your direct line supervisor

 

the new maint boss in ellenwood is bringing it up to standard
Jason moved there from the Marshfield trailer shop

 

Wow, really Jason moved there. Good for Ellenwood.

 

yeah his wife and mine are good friends, Jason was offered a great opportunity
