Roehl Driver Check In

You know I stress myself out because I care too much about doing it right and on time. Plus it's made like its our fault if stuff is late, when I think most of the time it's not drivers fault. Like I have sent 3 messages now over an hour ago was the first one saying I need an mt. Any response? Nope the response I got was a preplan to take an mt to shipper for live load. Ok accept preplan again need mt. Response? Here's your load assignment to take an empty to shipper for live load. Then said need to get routed to terminal for stupid waste of time class and need to be routed at a time I can actually make class. Get with fm to schedule that. Sure no problem just like the last month. Right now I just want to get on the road and go. They can keep their stupid safety bonus BS complete waste of time. Yeah I make it through a termi al 90% of the time it's in the middle of the night. Or if during the day it screws up my 10 break.

 

BTW still haven't gotten mt yet or told where to get one. So I sit here I a strip mall parking lot.

 

Didn't see one but I'll be on the look out when I'm back through there tomorrow.

Went and picked up at Arcelormittal now heading to Green Bay to deliver on the 2nd. They said they'll see what they can do about relaying it. I'll be on them tomorrow to get this load off of me. At the sunoco on us30 in lancaster, pa. My truckers friend truck stop guide said it was a flying J. Almost missed it because I wasn't looking for a sunoco sign.

 

Thanks for the rant. I'm better now.

 

Delivered today then went up to New Carlisle for a Talladega run delivering Saturday. So any bets on whether ill get stuck in AL for the weekend?

Also I just tried a mcRib for the first time and it was McNasty. Ugh.

Just got done shopping to stock the truck up with food and supplies, Now i need to do last minute laundry before i head out in the morning. I just hope i dont get stuck in the morning trying to get out of my yard. Its snowing now suppose to get a 3 to 4 inches. But i got to drag the trailer up a hill a bit before i get to the road. Will be fun.

I finally bought myself a CB, but for some reason the diagnostics on the CB is stating the Antenna is failing. Plus for some reason its not feeding to the external speaker. Will have to mess with it on the road as i go.

 

lol ill be in Pennington al for my delivery meet me in FJ in Birmingham lol I was thinking the same thing even van drivers get stuck there

 

Last time I went to talladega I was stuck for two days. Hope you have better luck.



I just got to ellenwood. I didn't tarp my load from gp till I got here. I wasn't going to tarp at all till I got close to Indiana. Consigned said it didn't need to be tarped unless its raining or snowing. Since I relayed it to ellenwood I tarped it incase it rains this weekend.

I was afraid of getting stuck on that load till Monday. Now I just gotta get two lumber tarps from here and hope to get a load from GP in Georgia.

 

Well I was hoping to take the car to Waffle House. They stop lending it out at 10pm, Didn't know that. Guess I gotta improvise and hope there's a 24 hour pizza place that delivers. I'm starving!

 

Yeah you'll want it tarped before you get up here. Just went through Markle this morning, a slushy wetland.
