Roehl Driver Check In

See now.... I asked my FM about it because I couldn't understand some of the wording.

From my understanding of reading it though it said "No movement 2PM Friday and Sunday". I didn't see a Friday until 2AM Tuesday morning. Nor did I even see one restriction on my WI permit telling me I can't move. Maybe I'm missing abunch of pages. For all the states im going through I only have 14 pages of permits

 

I would assume trainers would get better pay again sooner than later with students sitting after orientation waiting on a trainer. Hopefully they'll get the hint and make it to hard to resist not to with pay increases. I might consider a small reefer company in my hometown that has nice trucks and trls. Maybe local but depends on the work. I might just stick it out and see what happens and wait for something good to pop up. Sitting in Hammond la petro deliver in baton rouge Tuesday after sitting for 34 hrs the day after I came out in ellenhood. At least football is back up n running to watch.

 

Running hard. Started the day in Appleton, sitting near St. Louis for the night, deliver tomorrow afternoon in Muskogee, OK, then pickup there for a run back to Sterling, IL for Wednesday morning. If the planners are planning, I should be home in Denver Friday.

 

At the Prentice Travel Center in Prentice, WI. This is my fuel stop and considering parking is pretty limited up here I just shut down here. I picked up a pre loaded trailer in Neenah to deliver Tuesday morning in Thunder Bay, ON.

 

Still in WI at exit 171C on I-90.

Might even spice it up and check in tomorrow. Guess where I will be then?












Exit 171C on I-90 in WI. Hopefully I'm not to predictable.

 

goodnite Lantern, Talk at you tomorrow.

Later, Pirate Trucker XOXX

 

I was doing the math and found out Roehl's lovely opti stop program decided leave out 170 loaded miles. I am about 530 miles away from Thunder Bay and with the routing they gave me I don't know if I can make it all the way there now. And from what I see there is no where to shut down on Route 11 either. Man this sucks.

 

I get in trouble a lot for out of route. I don't believe we should have to follow a computer and only what it gives us.

Yeah, that sucks. I was just having this discussion with a driver the other day. Routing and paid/billed miles should be based off of GPS coordinates for shippers and consignees, and the way the customer is most likely to drive. It doesn't sound very hard to do, I'm just thinking that shippers/recievers will not go for it because they're costs are likely yo go up.

 

I follow the route mostly. Not always and if the shipper/con says to go their directions most of the time is better ill go their way which sometimes is out of route but nothing more than 20 miles at most usually under that. When in FL I go my way BC roehl loves to use the turnpike but make u dodge tolls in Chicago or sometimes oh/in. The routing has gotten better than it was in my opinion or I've tolerated running us routes and what to expect. I don't run Canada so can't really help u sorry.
