What about roehl?

Been with Roehl almost a year,I personally like the company they are a fair companyto drive for.The problems you will find are pretty much the same at all the bigger companys.I hear some storys about training with most other companys and thank god I went with Roehl.I have bad days and good but the good out number the bad..Thats good..lol

 

I did four years in dispatch. I'm at a different company now that I wish was half as good as Roehl

 

How are you making out for miles sense you have been with them? I understand each company is different, and are a lot of people too.

Thank you

 

He(we) have been here almost 8 years. We are still here because... Well that's a good question. Only once has he ever said I'm putting in my 2 weeks notice, and within a day everything that had been going wrong was fixed. Yes there have been screw-ups..missed hometime and the like but our DSRs have been great about making it up. Miles are steady, paycheck doesn't bounce and usually home when we want, or as the case is now loads going where we want to go

 

I'm averaging 2600-2900 a week but you have to take the good with the bad. I've been told that Roehl actually has more freight than they can handle right now. Actually a couple weeks ago, the Gary Terminal had 32 loads sitting in the yard with no drivers. However, you're going to have slow weeks, its the nature of the business.

Deliver on time and you'll never have any problems at Roehl. They won't push you to fudge your logs or drive past your HOS. They will not let you drive unsafe or drive unsafe equipment.

 

I was told (by Roehl) that they are going to e-logs so no fudging on logs at all.

 

They've been GPS tracking logs for the longest time. You can still hide things a bit but odds are you will get caught. Switching to eLogs might make it easier for a creatice driver to falsify.

 

I'm still on paper logs although the software is on my truck pc. I'm finding that I end up with more hours on the e-log than the paper log. The e-log shows actual time instead of 15 minute increments. If you make a pit stop of ten minutes, that is what is logged. Paper log you have to show fifteen minutes of break or straight line drive time with a flag at the break.

 

I found that I saved time on my driving hours but lost time on my 70. You can edit that but it is kind of a pain.
