Roehl Driver Check In

I love my hometown of Palatka, nothing to do but drink or mud bog lol

 

Oh well i still love this new adventure way better than bending over trying to fix someone's car, or trying to figure out a check engine light or electrical problem. Or worse the dreaded i hear a squeek lol

 

Deadheaded from Sanford FL to palatka gp, #### light colored dirt sticks to everything mud hole. LOL. Usually in and out of that place but this time waited 6 hrs for my pre ld trl. Still FL though so I can't be mad, other towns I #### that place til return for better luck, but I love Fla. In Marion NY at the shipper for load going to Minnesota tomorrow. Ran through mountains in PA last night temperature was 68. Didn't sleep with AC on and was fine. Scranton PA petro is garbage but has parking.

 

It happens to us all. Just remember to ALWAYS get to within 50 miles of your final destination and claim laayover pay if over 24 hours of sitting. $60 is better than nothing!

 

Ran 600+ miles today to deliver in Baton Rouge, LA. Picked up a preloaded trailer at the Zachary, LA GP plant and headed to Jacksonville, FL to relay it tomorrow afternoon. 1200+ miles in 2 days. Must be making it up to me for all the 200 mile trips I had in the beginning of this week.

 

At the Petro in Rochelle, IL. So before I even started my day I was greeted by a wonderful pre plan. 23 miles mt and 132 loaded. I non commited twice because the delivery was at 2130 and I would run out of hours at the cons. To sum it up, I arrived 2 1/2 hours early. The lady told me they weren't busy today in receiving so we will just unload you now. I got a pre plan picking up tomorrow in Rockford, IL and delivering in Fort Smith, AR on Weds.

 

Thanks Tank i did not know that you could collect layover being 50 miles away. I'll know better for next time

 

They are in VT loading lumber heading to Brookville PA.

 

Hi all! Just wanted to drop in and say hi! I have been
following this forum for a while and thank everyone for the great info.
I am a RDTC graduate out on my 2nd hitch. Waiting for a
pre-plan in MN hopefully heading home to see my wife before she heads to RDTC.
Was issued a 2007 sun-faded Columbia condo with only 218k when I got it.
I was bummed at first but absolutely love it now.
Thanks again for all the great info......good and bad!

Mike

 

At the Jacksonville, FL dropyard for the night. Got my load here 12 hours early so I'll have a fresh 14 for whatever they have lined up for me tomorrow.
