Roehl Driver Check In

Yeah 1700, also there is a BP closer that I saw plenty of spots open but I wanted to get load scanned in and I snagged one of last spots at loves. I think it was a BP, it was on north side of 78 exit 45. Listed as bandit truck stop in pocket guide

 

Stopped in Gary for the first time for fuel. At the pilot in Newport Indiana. Delivery in Kentucky in the AM. Day 1 of phase II was successful. 77K gross is a learning experience for day 1

 

Its a flatbed dead zone though.

Flatbed freight in but rarely anything coming out. Exspecially the direction they have to send me since i have to no matter what be home friday afternoon.

 

My 1st phase 3 solo load out was 79800 good times.

 

Dalton, ga pilot..made it out of atlanta..deliver louiseville 2moro. Atlanta was a good experience, backing is improving, getting way better.

I did fremont nestle monday. Got there early, they sent me to walmart or across the street dirt lot mess..walmarts easy, 3 blocks away there.

Had the 4ways on out of atlanta, heavy thunderstorm, gotta work on a good radar app for my phone.

 

Another Driver told me about that place but I haven't been back to Ellenwood to check it out.

 

I think they will let you park in the holding area after you are done. I was going to stay there but there were to many pissed off Drivers just flying around in there. I guess because they kept getting turned away. Lol! My appt was on Friday evening so I just went to that Bandit T/S. They don't have showers but there is a restaurant next door and a Subway across the street. The place looks like it has seen some better days but the staff is usually friendly and to me it is a place to park. It is alot better than,I think, that Citgo I went to off 69 outside Port Huron one time. I can't even describe how rough that place was.

 

Fargo/Moorehead is not a dead zone. Ever look at the load boards from that area? Plenty of loads, BUT there are no ROEHL loads in that area. I have been stuck out there numerous times and each time load boards had plenty of loads just none that Roehl wants.

 

Sitting in Rochelle, IL at the Petro on I-39. Finally out of Wisconsin! So I lost my bet, didn't head to Minneapolis, headed to the mothership, dropped bad curtain and bobtailed to New London for another Curtain load. Delivered this morning and then back to mothership to drop another bad curtain. Bobtailed to Wausau for PDM Bridge load to Carbon, IL.

Up to this point this week I have more MT miles than loaded and I have bobtailed to a shipper TWICE! Yes and its only Wednesday.

 

Sounds like my week as well, Though i started monday by dropping 3 loads in the metro from the St paul drop yard, than got to wisconsin to run around new london and appleton with curtains. And today run to iron mountain to get a load to moorehead.

Last week i had 600 miles bobtail. gets old after a while
