Roehl Reefer Fleet

I do like the airride on the reefers as well as the airslide tandems.....also the trailers lower when you hit the park brake so it takes a little getting used too...(the trailers also have a floating feeling from time to time)......
the T/k reefers are actually not too loud...they only jolted me awake once earlier in the week..now I am used to it..and I really like the noise to lull me to sleep LOL....

Had a short haul today..and I am glad I left gary this morning when I did otherwise I would not have made the shipper on time...294 and 290 were both parking lots because of construction....the shipper loaded me quickly and I bebopped on down to Romeoville to deliver (I did say short hop)....the cons took FOREVER to unload 6 (yes 6) pallets of frozen off of me.....got to bs with a couple other Reefer fleet drivers and they said my FM will run me hard its just he was heading out for a long weekend (I am guessing we only have 3 or 4 reefer FMs)...they tried to tack on another short hop and I raised a small stink about it so they took it off of me and gave me a Hot Load(of frozen) to PA that needs to be there by tomorrow the earlier the better......

 

I have noticed too I think we have more reefer freight than we have reefer drivers...cause there are a lot of Flatbedders grabbing empty and loaded reefers in Gary and heading out the gate (noticed it too in Marshfield)...so thats cool..i don't mind getting a relayed load from a flatbedder cause I know I will make weight on my non flatbed truck...LOL

 

yeah I reaaaalll;ly wanna work for hirshbach....maybe a few years ago when they were still in S. Sioux City....but from whats posted...Ha not a chance well unless you can talk me into it lol...
