Roehl Driver Check In

I hear that man. I try to take the FL turnpike as much as I can. I usually call fuel and routing and Jolene makes a new route for me. Once they had me taking us27 all the way down, I called and she sent me down the turnpike instead. Although she has it out for lantern, idk why she hates him lol.

The worst out of route I got was 127 miles.

Depends really where you go on the turnpike. First xit is $5 and $12 to I-4. I was meaning the other way around last time I took 27 to 44 to 75 instead of $12 turnpike LOL. I was going from lakeland to al but eventually relayed to ellenhood. I had the time so I didn't mind but other us routes waste a lot of time and others are good highways. I think what's worse is I-16 to couple backroads that lead to us-1 in GA all the way down to j-ville. Another driver told me 75-10-295 and doesn't get banged for out of route miles and its 40 plus. Interstate is 5 hrs from ellenhood to jville yard backroads way is 7 hrs. 127 is a lot mine was probably under 40 for sure.

 

I love the ride of us1 from i16 to Jax. Only cuz I like the weigh station in Florida on us1. One if the girls there cracks me up, I sat there almost an hour bs'in with her and her partner cuz they gave me a level 3 and we started talking about NASCAR lol.

As far as the turnpike I took it from i75 all the way to us1. It cost me $68 up front but well worth it. Instead of us27 all the way down

For some reason me and the backroads in GA dont get along. It's irritating to have to keep slowing down and speeding up and maneuvering through thoose small towns. I know one day im gonna hit a building or a pole. You can always say the town had a detour for roadwork lol. Said on the interstate highway such and such is closed go around.

 

Long story short, denied her my goods.


As for that stupid route to Jacksonville.... I get that crap everytime. No way masta is this truck going that way. 75, 10, 295 just like y'all said. Idc if I get out of routes any more either, my FM told me to go the fastest way possible so I do.

I guess I'm just a rebel.

 

Well when I get my own authority and you lease to me with your 9900ix and we run the same loads to the same places so we can "separate team drive" then we will be taking all interstate brother!

ok so when it talked to my FM today she said we gonna have to work on getting your revenue up. productivity is 98 percent. and on time delivery is 94 percent, couldnt tell me anything where i lost 6 percent i know i am always early, also i can only drive the miles that i am given, whats up with this. get my miles up im not the planner or dispatcher i just do what is sent over the QC what the #### does she want me todo book my own loads. Any insight on this

 

Why would you be on Rt. 11? Don't you take 61 north of Duluth all the way up there? There is a truck stop in Superior WI that has a great bar/grill next door called Gronks. There aren't really any truck stops along the north shore but it is a pretty drive and there are plenty of places to stop. Good luck with holiday traffic though.

 

That's insane. I've never had a dispatcher tell me to get my revenue up unless she's hitting on you?? Lol

Idk what to tell you bro, maybe they don't know what their doing.

its has been awhile since i have worked for Roehl, but u say you are always early the way i remember it you can get hit with late charges for being to early
