Any Questions about Roehl??

Do they run 48 or do they stick you on the east coast ???

 

I live in Denver and run "Van National" and I have hit pretty much all of the lower 48. Evenly balanced. Sometimes I to alot of east/west runs, then sometimes I'll bounce around on the east coast for a week at a time. If you are in the "National" fleet, you will run pretty much everywhere. But, like I said, it seems that Roehl does have alot of business in the east.

 

I think all companies have a lot of business in the east, I don't dislike it there
I just like going all over, I get bored in one area too long....

My last job I was in NJ, WV, OH, PN, for nearly 6 weeks, I thought I was going to lose my mind ....LOL

 

I would say the majority of their freight is east of the mississippi, but i did make it to Texas and California. Not often, but i made it there once. Lol. Seems like you get into a cycle some here with roehl. Heading east and west on 80 or running in and out of the east coast. Then i had been running the midwest a bit... i have heard guys making it all over. If you got a good FM and planner they will get you out of a back and forth run if they like ya...

 

My last job was pretty much all NYC or Chicago LTL loads. I called Roehl on the way back to Denver from the E. Coast and told them that as soon as they wanted me back, I was ready to get rehired! Roehl is a comfort zone for me.

 

So I've seen a bunch of Roehl trucks cruising down the highways lately, and they're all CLEAN...pretty pretty pretty...is there some regular routine the drivers are supposed to have to get to a terminal for wash, or is it a run through a Streakin' Beacon every week?
I can't imagine that all these guys live in warm climates and have access to power washers, etc.

 

Been raining a lot.

 

T Lady, I like your signature line... It should be a staple in this industry...

Act like a professional, the company will treat you like one ...

 

Marshfield, Gary, and Ellenwood terminals have truck washes that move the dirt from one area of your truck to another. I have only been to the one at Gary this time around, but they used to have a pressure washer to clean your truck, now they seem to have automated truck washes. Like I said, the one in Gary did a great job of moving the dirt around, but that's about it.

 

You can still use the old style up in Iron Mountain if you ever get up that way.
