Roehl So far, so good

Correct, more experience, higher pay.

 

Hey if I were you I would go get tested now, since you have insurance. That way if you do need you have insurance to help pay for it. Then you can tell the dr that does your physical whether or not you are negative or positive for sleep apnea.

 

I'm a little upset today. I dropped a relay in Ellenwood today. Not sure why because I had enough hours to run it. Say there then got b a PM on my truck. When it was done ni still had 7 and half hours available to run. They sent me a load for 151 miles total. It was another relay loaf coming to Ellenwood that wasn't even there yet.

I drove the 151 miles so I could deliver tonight, I get here and they refuse my load. They told me this was the 4th Roehl trailer that they refused today because our trailers didn't have vents on them. Sigh. I was already upset about the weekend load that im suppose to be picking up tomorrow because it's only 600ish miles and doesn't deliver until Monday. Now I'm not even getting that. I asked to go home since n I'm only 107 miles away they said no. I'm about change my schedule if I don't get 2500 miles this week. I will be like everyone else and work 11 and take 3 and stop busting my butt for them.

 

My miles have been good lately. 3300 last week, 2500 week before, 3800, and 3300. I just dont like my time played with. They get paid no matter what, we don't. If im sitting im not making money. Weekend dispatch sucks. I asked them if I could put in my two weeks notice over the qualcomm and they asked why I wanted to quit I said because of weekend dispatch.

 

I cant say where. I have a phone interview with a fortune 500 company on Saturday morning. I wouldn't go to another trucking company. Imo Roehl is the best it gets, but I think weekend and night dispatch along with the planners need to be replaced. My interview will allow me to be home every night and weekend. Not that I want or miss being home, I don't miss it. The job pays me the same I would make my first year at Roehl if I continued to bust my butt on the road and not go home.

 

Well I'm in a hotel in Ohio, my bunk heater has not been working in a couple of days. So my fleet manager got me a hotel, near the consignee. Comfy bed I might sleep in tomorrow.
