Roehl Driver Check In

well shoot

just skip minooka and drop by channahon instead.

easy in, easy out

 

They are in Jeffersonville OH. They should be home about 11am tomorrow..Princess#3 is coming home because she starts cross country practice on Monday..she's not really happy about it but with us getting home a week late there is nothing we could do. Princess #4 is already packing because she is leaving on Sunday with Dad...

 

in Butte MT a nice silver prostar just parked next to me I see...7481...any of yall??.....

 

Picking up in Davenport in the morning to deliver at the Kroger warehouse in Indianapolis in the evening. Hoping that Kroger doesn't take all night to unload me. The directions say NO OVERNIGHT PARKING. They want what we are delivering, but we can't park there after they get their stuff. I hate places like that. I know that sometime along the way a truck driver probably dumped a piss bottle on their lot or left a bunch of trash behind, but seriously. What a bunch of dicks!

 

No the no overnight parking is prevelent at all food warehouses....something about Homeland security....and USDA regs....its kinda retarded really...

 

Sitting at the Pilot in Oak Creek. 34 hr reset here I come! At least this week has been ok, except for stopping in Gary for 6 hours to give a ride to a driver to Philly. He was gonna ride with me to make my first two stops and then I was gonna drop him at Bensalem. They set it up as a team????? So, I do them a favor and they screw me out of money.
Luckily, when he drove he decided to take the direct route to Bensalem, I-76 Toll all the way. I wasn't complaining, I dropped him off the next morning and was only 90 minutes away from my first stop. I was fueling after first stop when I checked in with FM about the new plan they had. He says, when you drop him off in Bensalem, relay the load. I said, I dropped him off this morning. Explained it all, that's when I figured out the TEAM thing and also they WERE going to hit me with the out of route miles. Fixed that and got FULL pay for the load as I should have in the first place.

HINT HINT to anyone asked to "help" take a driver somewhere. Make sure they don't set it up as a TEAM!!

 

Yup...Tank you almost got the big red shaft.......they tried that once with me having to get a NEW driver from Ellenwood to Gary to pick up his truck......I told my FM I only have 1 bunk and that only I sleep in it....she agreed and that was all that had to be said about that....

Right now I am chilling in Umatilla OR at the truckstop across from the state scales...

 

I was there around 2100 tonight along with another Roehl Driver getting fuel. It must have been the fuel stop of the day because another Driver was leaving the fuel island when I was coming in.

 

Still sitting at the Pioneer Travl Plaza in Richfield, WI. I figured since I have until 1100 tomorrow morning to deliver this in Waupun and I didn't work today I might as well finish my 34 before taking it in.

 

Sitting here I71 just east of Columbus OH, several Roehl trucks here at the J. HELLO to y'all! Came out Wednesday with a 1400 mile GP load from Palakta Fl to Plattsburg Ny, got there friday at 1700 preplan to waterfor Ny shot down picked up my PRTRLR spent the night at shipper (cascades tissue) but the load was only 700 miles to cons ran it basically in yesterday and have sat all day today, QC'ed dispatch about possiable early delivery nope not open till mon at 0800.
