Roehl Driver Check In

I go to Marshfield on Monday to get my fuel card and truck. It's been a nice, long break break from driving, and I'm grateful for having at least one more weekend to enjoy.

Yep. Been to that Walmart, too.

 

I parked there overnight after my delivery. The guy in the warehouse told me to ignore the signs and get a good nights sleep. It was 2am, so I was going to sleep somewhere.

 

Well got preplan canceled about an hour ago. So guess I'm here til tomorrow afternoon

 

Sitting in KC waiting for my dock to open been here since noon.down to 5 hrs on the clock AMD of course no parking any where
This exactly why I chose flat bed when coming to work at Roehl,yet here I am pulling a dam van playing beat the clock with appt times

 

Use the dam van drunken monkey technique.

 

Yea I am not sure why but our customers on the flat bed side are so much nicer to work with

 

My guess they for the most part don't deal with a thousand trucks a day that all are in a hurry. I find the smaller the place the more pleasant. Pick up at a 3 or 4 dock warehouse and they are friendly will #### chat offer coffee. Go to a Walmart etc... It's like going to a DMV. Hand papers, give ID, stamp/sign papers, ask a question get a dirty look; do a mind flip-off get full and mt trailer locations, switch em and leave.

 

Welp at Gary need a PM and some small things fixed. It doesnt look good checked truck in 2 hours ago and nothing still sittin in the lot. Oh boy im tired too spent the day short haulin all through Chicago US12, US34, Il83 US6 blah blah go here pick up there was the tone. What happened to the local guy, oh i think that was me today. Well at least i racked up the short haul pay. Wish me luck on getting the truck back sometime this week

 

Sitting at a rest area off I90 in Wisconsin.... Dropping in La Crosse in AM then preplan to pick up a relay in Appleton to deliver near home in Virginia on Tuesday.

 

Well up here in IN. Just enjoying the snow...... Not. Went from the high 60s, no snow, sun shine today to 16 degrees? Where did I go wrong?! Must of made a wrong turn some where.



Might not be the best tarp job, but I know I'm getting better!

By the way, went from that picture which was taken today.. To this.
