Roehl Driver Check In Continued

I'm sitting in the lounge now waiting on my rental car, five drivers and no one complaining. I am gonna check and see if they're breathing.!!

 

poke them with a stick.

 

One other thing about the Gary remodel: They installed the stupid toilet tissue holders in the bathrooms that dispense only one square of paper at a time, just like they did in Appleton. Seems rather petty, unless the person who decided to install those also has them in their own personal bathroom in their house!

Oh shoot, I should really have stepped into the driver's lounge before typing this

 

Met a cute dentist today..im pretty sure she wants to meet me at a ts one of these days. Anyways cleaning scheduled for monday..no charge. Estimate for one crown and two fillings. $450 out of pocket....bargain! Very pleased.

 

Back in MA at I90 Service Plaza. Twice as many trucks as spots so it will be interesting getting out. Had to set tandems all the way forward just to get 'close' to 34k on drives w/full fuel. No wonder Barilla has a scale on site, they don 't know how to load. Preplan to MN over weekend...I've had enough of the east coast for a while.

 

F the east coast, Today i almost justified running 4 wheelers over. I never want to come back to the northeast. Anyone that lives here i dunno how you do it but screw that.

Headed for iowa for Saturday morning delivery. On i 76 west at a service plaza in PA. Should of drove more today but screw that i am way to frustrated to continue.

 

Oh where to begin...? Yesterday, got preplan to get relay from Springfield MA yard, hours ran out at 1400, no problem, got to yard and shutdown. Went to parents got shower did laundry, got home cooked meal, back to truck around 2000. Relay still not there. Sent message where is it?
Oh driver broke down 45 miles away. Ok gee thanks for the call, can't imagine if I didn't let someone know that on the other end. Ok so go to bed, wake up nothing comes across. I was already irritated, so said eff it, they can get ahold of me. Finally around 1130 get message I have to go down to the rest area/weigh station on I-91 just south of Hartford to get load, and could I also check truck and confirm problems.
Ok, get down there truck has the red engine light with alarm, I check all fluids, full. Idles ok etc... No room to go for a drive. Found out this dude quit, awesome. So he will not drive truck, there is peterbilt dealer 15 miles away. After a few hours of bs, plus can't get through on phones at all, spent over 30 min on hold at one point.
This guy wouldn't even do drop n hook, I had to operate both trucks to switch trailers. Ok so maintenance says this guy will ride with me in his truck, I drive to dealer, and I get a ride back to my truck at rest area, other driver goes home, he's from the area. So I go to drive truck, this guy says see ya, grabs his crap and jets! I get in truck and won't go over 5 mph. So re park farther down and leave messages on qc to call me.
Now I got the keys to this truck, plus my own with a trailer to deliver today in Maine. Finally get called back, they called for wrecker. Wrecker shows up pretty quick, I give him th keys and bolt, just in time now for Hartford evening rush hour. Finally drop load, no mt, super! Got preplan for am pickup live load south of Boston going to Tulsa for Monday.
Currently sitting bobtail at Irving truck stop xt 75 I-95 in Maine. Nights sent message checking on mt. I said I don't have time to screw around, looking for mt, I'm tired after babysitting.

 

Sitting here at Supervalu in Green Bay. Good God this place is a rat race. Trucks everywhere and not a lot of room to maneuver. Running low on hours and not suppose to stay here. May not have a choice here pretty soon. No more reefer loads please!

 

I heard if you slide the roll of paper to the side and then grab the spring and rod with your finger and thumb you can slide the pin back and pull the roll off the holder. Not that I would have ever done that.
