Life After Roehl

Well I finished my first week at the new job. Went pretty well, 1400 miles in 3 days of work and home 2/3 nights. One I could have been home but I slept in truck I was too tired. We run a lot of the same places, our main haul is pretty light. Back haul is whatever they can set up or a dead head. Finished about 1730 yesterday. Home until Monday morning. Start my day, anytime I want. Probably roll out by 0600. No Quallcomm, no elog. so far so good. Oh and the thing that's really weird? Passing other trucks on the highway. lol All day long.

 

I'll be looking for you... if you see a White and Blue anything with a new penn or an LEL trlr holla! Where you run mostly PA? I'm all over western PA and eastern Ohio with Buffalo NY tossed in there!

 

I'm on my way to Maryland and Jersey for a 3 stopper....shouldn't be too bad......my only concern is how long C&S is going to hold me up.....cause if I can get in and out and on my way to my 2nd stop I should have enough time left to make it to my last to camp out for the night.....

I am currently sitting in Indiana.....

 

If you cannot find work save up the money you make from roehl and put it towards a semi truck. Thats what I did and I havent thought twice about it. Home every night and haul 100 air miles from the twin cities. Also being a o/o you take off when you want and refuse any loads you want. We have a extremely huge amount of intermodal here so thats what I got into. Ive been doing it for 15 months and ill probably will do it till the day I retire. Best decision ive ever made and roehl helped me get here.

 

Dude you're in an excellent place for that. My buddy left Roehl and stays heavy busy over there.

 

I also live a hour north of the cites, it wasnt worth the hour drive in for me to operate a company truck. I make a bit more and i even bobtail about 80 miles a day on my pocket. you mean cory?

 

Yeah. You hear from him lately? Kinda lost touch.
