Life After Roehl

I can even go 70 down hill without a qualcomm yelling at me...LOL....yeah 68 is nice but I want my FULL bonus for keeping idle below 30 percent and overspeed below 5 percent...which we get every 2 weeks...if we meet those goals we get a 4 cent a mile bonus...it goes down the further over those numbers you go though...

 

My fleet manager doesn't hold my hand and I follow the route for the most part. Making your own route trip planning is for adults is a stupid comment. But yet the equipment looks good nice kw's congrats to u both. The shop is empty because their fleet looks for the most part new. Speed doesn't bother me but can be frustrating at time. The equipment and pay plus the negligence of office personnel will be the reason I leave before or at my 1 year. Looking at a reefer company as well.

 

I really wanted to be a part of this thread, so I put in my two-weeks notice yesterday afternoon. Now, I too, will have post-Roehl adventures!

 

I have to agree with you on this. I could do it if I had to because trip planning is not ******* rocket science. Of course if you don't have any common sense or don't know how to open up your atlas....well it could be a challenge then.

 

Just a quick comment about Van Wyk newer equipment. They service every truck every 12,500 miles whether it needs it or not.

 

Hope you guys keep posting as I think it will be interesting to see avg miles per week and avg home time you will be getting at van wyk
Speedy trks are nice, but could also invite unwanted problems if not respected

 

Miles aren't as important when you're paid a percentage off the top.

 

Ok then weekly income & hometime on a avg just to get a Idea.
Are you planning on staying out more? I know mic put down home time I can't remember if you did or not.

 

I'm flexible on home time but they would like you to do a reset at home every 5-6 days so they can run hard when needed without worrying about hours. I've delivered two loads so far in three days and grossed roughly $400.
