Stay away from ROEHL!!

This driver is full of BS, I drive reefer so I stuck at DC's all the time that hold you up for hours while they take their time unloading and then go on break for 1/2 an hour with just 2 pallets left on the truck. I have never had a problem collecting detention pay. If you don't record detention properly you won't get paid and that is your own fault for not following procedure. All you have to do is mark you bills with your in/out times, log 15 minutes checking in/out and log the rest of your detention time in the sleeper. If you log it as off-duty they will deny it. The only other thing is send a detention pay request on the qualcomm with the above info and mark the times on the trip sheet when scanning the paperwork.

My FM is actually leaving a voicemail at least once week for all his drivers encouraging us to apply for detention pay and how to properly document it to get paid. They want us to claim detention because then they can charge the customer and make more money. I know they are definitly making more on the detention than the $10 an hour they are paying us, so it benefits them. They just need to document it to the customer, so if you don't document it they can't collect and you won't get paid.

 

Why can't you simply report your positive experience without pretending to know what he experienced with his FM in his fleet? Another 0-1 years know-it-all, you ready for that snow?

I understand Roehl will take the lion's share if they bill the customer for detention, and in that case it would make sense if they are encouraging you to claim it. Unlike you, I know I don't know ETCH858's experience, he says he went through their hoops.

If they are aren't going to pay me detention on the second load I pulled for the company because I logged it line one instead of line two, that is their choice and it is duly noted. If they aren't going to pay me detention because they didn't leave enough trailers at a drop and hook, again, that is duly noted- didn't mean I waited around any less, frequently checking back to see if they had started the trailer.

For me, it was just confirmation, Roehl never was for me.

 

dude whats your problem??? did your mommy tell you that you were special, and you found out that your not...man alive pull the stick out of your ###.....
admit it you don't want to admit that your wrong or that you ###### up somewhere and didn't get paid your detention time...well sorry bout your luck...you have already moved on...so keep on movin' and stop taking the time to troll the forums...lashing out at us who actually know how to request detention properly and have so far had a positive experience with Roehl...Geez go work for CRE and then troll aay how bad Roehl is...

 

0-1 years. I'm glad you are happy. Tell me, all the things you can be doing with your life, any website you might go to, any thread on any forum anywhere, why is it that you keep coming back to a thread called Stay away from ROEHL on the Bad Trucking Companies forum?

As I told the other fellow, you have no standing to tell anyone to stay here or go, why don't you go yourself?

It's not like you are someone I respect, or anything.

 

ahhh troll bait my favorite bait

FYI I have every reason to hate Iraqis, but I am not getting into that with you....

OHHH NOOO I only put 0-1 years of OTR...its not like I have driven trucks before has it??? ummmm yeah let me get back to you on that...

oh I go to multiple websites...I use Chrome as my browser so I can have many tabs up at a time and click between them...I just like coming here to chum the waters from time to time on this thread...(FYI i am on other threads too can you believe it??) I also have a few people I have met and would call friends...(they know who they are)...

keep trollin..cause I am bored and need something good to read (yeah I do that too)...

 

I reported about an actual conversation I had yesterday, but some of you guys seem to live here. Maybe it's a 0-1 thing, still working out your identities as drivers, or something. Well, soon you'll all have your first winters in and maybe you'll be self-assured enough that you don't have to defend the starter company put you behind the wheel. FTR- military driving means next to nothing, 45mph convoys in your Hemmets, or whatever.

 

I see a padlock in the near future.............

 

you forgot HETs and 915s, oh and MTVs...BTW we stopped doing 45 MPH convoys when the 442a2 duece's left the Army...Now its drive it like ya stole it (i've gotten an uparmored MTV tuggin a skateboard up to 75, and a HEMMIT wrecker tugging a HET with its loaded trailer up to 60 [google HET and you'll find out what it does)... but hey its not like I have ever driven in snow before...Ohh thats right I grew up in Minnesota...and we never have snow there...its 70 degrees year round...(or am I confusing that for florida again... guess I am too stupid to know better LOL)..

Ohh military driving is nothing...its not like the Road blows up on ya whenever..or your vehical is sooo #### top heavy that if you look at it funny it wants to roll...nahhh trucking is much harder than that...come on guy...its too bad we are out of Iraq....or I would invite ya there sometime to see how easy it is to drive the mean streets of the middle east...(it is alot of fun...we got to shoot at stuff...it wasn't like I got shot at or anything...they were just thowing us kisses and hugs..LOL)

OHHH lord we could only hope for a lock...cause then we wouldn't have to be subjected to so much hate...can't we all just get along...

 

here save ya the time here's an attached photo of a HET

 

The detention issue is different for company drivers and o/os. Etch was and is an o/o. When I was company I received detention only if there was an actual appointment and only after two hours of sitting for nothing. O/os only receive detention if Roehl can collect and even then they only receive a small portion of the collected detention.
