Roehl, from a driver there for 2 years

When i was on the company end, I got sent MT 120 miles to meet a driver to relay his load for him, he was suppose to be there at like 1800 come 1930 called in and was told he was delayed, kewl, no biggie, 2300 called in said still waiting, so i went to bed, 0700 i called in and was told that he went ahead and took the load to the cons, they never imformed me. they were like "oops my bad" lol... bad thing was i never got paid for them 120 miles i ran to the TS to meet him at. lol. Still aint been paid that come to think of it! lol

Thanks for all the info drivers. I start Roehl on the 23rd after leaving USA Truck where I was treated like crap.

I'm looking forward to working for a company that seems to have its ducks in a row.

 

Good luck at Roehl. It seems like most of the Roehl drivers are happy for the most part.

 

Hi Polvann. I have been reading these Roehl threads for months learning as much as I can. I have started the student process with them.

The recruiter told me yesterday they do not have a drop yard in Richmond, VA. I know they used to because I saw it on their website map. So the recruiter tells me it is my 'homework' to find a place to park my trailer/rig for hometime.

To my delight, I see you live in Richmond. Please, please tell me what you do when you have hometime?

THANK YOU!!!

I'm not in Richmond but I don't take my truck to the house where I live. I park at a TA truck stop. As long as they know my contact info and know I will come take care of issues if they need me to. Been doing it for a year now. I know some guys get permission from local biz to park on their property. Check with local warehouses basically anywhere you think would fit you beast and be relatively convenient to you. Good luck.

no yards in VA

 

Hey hindsy. I looked up the nearest TA to me. It's in Ashland, maybe 20 miles from my home, up 95N. Do you keep your car there while on the road?......... and do they charge you?

 

This run out I started parking my pickup there at the TA. They took info from me and I will get someone to move it if they call and need it to get moved or anything. I was at that Ashland TA. Seems like plenty of room. Just call em or go in to see the manager.

 

Thanks for the idea. I will check it out. I don't have anyone to move my vehicle if needed but I would make sure and tell him that.
