Adventures of a Flatbedder at Roehl

Never agree on rulings like that, its like going to court. never agree, always fight it till you are out of options. Appeal it so they have to show you "why" .. Cause man that crap will haunt you later... I had a non non-preventable that they put on me when another truck bump into my side 2nd day into training and I have had to jump through hurdles to prove what it was, much less a preventable like hitting a bridge.

IMO

 

Wait, I thought you were delivering that bridge?

 

It is preventable, it's just stupid that they wait so long to make a ruling. Gather the facts, have an in person meeting and agree on the prevent-ability of the incident. Most of my drivers that were involved in any sort of accident quit before we decided their fate. It shouldn't be that way, a decision should be made quickly.

 

Yep you said it. it always will be unless you can prove someone else was directly involved in it.
When they listed my non preventable on my D.A.C it says non prevent but that's it, no info no detail just non preventable and the state. which makes other companies question cause for all they know i could have killed a school bus of kids. cause they list nothing and when i informed roehl over it and asked them to detail it ( like they are suppose to) then i was told, "not their problem" so now im having to fight it with hireright by appealing it.

 

Well got the okay today, looks like ill be back in Gary somtime around the first week of April. Is there any new flatbed trucks there or will I luck out with a Columbia.

 

Id say its a 50/50 chance, they have a lot of new silver/gray prostars.
but most of them are in marshfield !

 

No problem, new truck is fine but used is fine too. Not to fussy they all clean up pretty well with a little elbow grease.

 

I hear ya, new trks are nice but I would rather have a columbia with the tri-pac apu. nothing worse than sitting some where and the batterys on the new trk battery powered apu goes dead. The new truck battery powered apu's are having some issues, but they are working on getting those issues solved.
