Roehl Driver Check In

My idles at 49% (been at this truck stop since Saturday)

Fuel mileage is always between 5.8-7.2 depending on what I'm hauling and how heavy.

Cruise control utilization is 0% lol

Top gear is 98%

Over speed and over rpm is 0% though

I'll prep you for your Tuesday conversation. Well you should have gotten out your atlas and checked your route before you went. Blah blah blah trip planning, blah blah blah responsible, blah blah blah only you can prevent forest fires, blah blah blah, priorities vs values.

And your response should be, can you get the recording of me calling in asking for a different route? At this point they'll either stare at you blankly (you can hear this over the phone too) or they'll say they'll check into it, but not every call records (which is the truth BTW)

 

Ahh,, I'm Mr. CruiseControl. My CC usage is usually up above 85%. No Over RPM or Speed though. I got in trouble a few years back, May 2008, for Over Speed. I guess I was in WY and going down the hills towards Evanston on I80 and hit 78 mph. I got to have a face-to-face with the safety VP. That guy from all the quarterly safety meeting videos, Mr. Otte, or whatever his name is. He looked at my truck data from the previous year and saw that it was a one time thing, so he just told me that Roehl is serious about safety and that if I ever had another incident of Over Speed that I might not be driving for Roehl anymore. I haven't had any other incidents and I do watch my speed. Oh well, everyone's human and makes mistakes. Even at 78 mph, I was probably getting blown off the road by all the O/Os hitting 90+ getting up speed for the next hill.

 

I think the cap was. 48. For van or other divisions not sure if the. 48 cap was for though I don't remember. Its good to weed out the ones that aren't doing their job but the technicalities of why u didn't get the raise and knocked down I don't really trust. If roehl wanted to be picky they could say anything really and you couldn't defend it. Or its a really good idea I guess we'll see when it happens.

 

Roadmaster still rocking those Century class condos in Orlando? Man as much as they charge the need to have 2013 peterbilts.









Psssssssssssssst. (I'm still in WI at exit 171C on I-90)

Routing for tomorrow.
I-90 E to I-43N to WI-140 S into IL state line, WI-140 turns into IL-76. Run IL-76 South to BR-20 (go left since both directions are BR), runs into US-20. Follow US-20 to I-39 South.

Rest is gravy from there. Oh if your wondering why such a weird route... It's because I'm a boss and I don't give a shiznick.









(Really it's the states permit routing, but my reason sounds cooler so yeah).

 

i just listened to it. if my performance goes up enough, then i can get $0.48 CPM, driving a flat.

???

and most people's pay will go up, according to greg koeppl.

???

where's this money coming from?

???

unless a lot of money is going to suddenly get injected into driver's pay, the only way most driver's pay can go up is if some other driver's pay goes way down, or they go away. or the safety/performance bonus plan gets scrapped.

????????????

 

That's what I was considering too.

Are the bonuses going to disappear? I'm willing to bet you'll have to meet a lot more factors in order to get a raise.

Or you could just be sneaky.



(Tell them that you are the masta. They will obey.)

Works everytime.




Btw, these three days of sitting in a truck, even walking around the truck stop doesn't help. I am going NUTS. I can not WAIT until I can start driving tomorrow. I am pulling my silky smooth hair out. Oh yes, I did takes plenty of showers. Even washed some clothes. Clipped my nails, cleaned up my trucks, resecured my load, added more strap protectors, and thought about driving the thing around. But sadly that one didn't make it :/

 

sounds like fun, get a new preplan yet
