Roehl Driver Check In

At Hilltop travel plaza xt 24 on I-540 just north of Fort Smith AR. I recommend this place, seems like plenty of room, and the diner is pretty good, with super friendly wait staff. Dirt lot though for you guys that don't like that. But it's grated pretty good.

Pick up noon tomorrow, in Fort Smith, going to pacific MO. Working my way back home.

 

At the TA in Morris, IL. I seen a Roehl reefer here. So far for tomorow my agenda is to deliver at the store in Romeoville, pick up a pre loaded trailer at General Mills in Mongomery, IL and deliver that to the DC in Tomah.

 

Congratulations treefork for this thread making 1000 pages, prolly causing the occasional forum crash.

Just got preplan to indy. I pik up in the morning and not due til 0001 weds, its a drop. Any advice..should i get there tomirrow and goto race? Will there be any parking down there by the flyj on the northside? Any advice or should i just stay away til monday night?

 

Pick it up and drop asap.

 

Right NT... and then have nowhere to park? Whats indy like raceday..trip planning..never been down there for that. Sorta like delivering at gp gp on gameday lol.

 

Drop and go to the next closest truck stop. What's the problem?

 

Nevermind..i thought race was monday.. well nt, with indy 500 happening it might just add some traffic to the equation. If i can avoid a traffic mess i do. Like Ann Arbor on gameday..just dont go there lol. I thought the 500 was a big deal.. omg if it was coke i dont think you could deliver, thats right next to.speedway, i think the public parks there.

 

Ok first trip is done. Man alive , terror,fright,fun,and trying to read all the directions to all the out of the way places, and trying not to put the truck in a bad set up. Everything was going good until I blow a hub seal on my trailer, so what do I do? pull into a T A and cut it in to tight to the garage and rip off my mud flap . DA . I do have to say, I did learn a lot this first trip out. I hope it does get better.Going back out Tuesday and I hope the back ups get better to.

 

It's Roehl. I switched after 18 months of no miles. Where I landed the miles have been great, and I get home EVERY weekend, guaranteed $800 a week salary, (But I don't utilize as I make more per mile), great equipment, plan your own routes, (None of that suggested mandatory B.S.) no "scorecards", (as they are professional and you are as well), No fuel mileage B.S, no micro managing your everything, treated and talked to like a professional, (not some clean turd fresh out of their school), comparable insurance at the same weekly deduction, trucks that run 65 and the cruise sets at 65.

They're a bigger outfit by about 900 trucks more. Don't have a company store to buy their paraphernalia as they don't sell it, they give it. You gotta have two years experience to get on.

The last OTR company I'll work for.
