Roehl Driver Check In Continued

Bleh why must all the reefer drivers park next to me? I found me a nice quiet corner, than i swear every reefer wanted to come park in my quiet corner.

 

Hang a sign, no reefers

 

A reefer crawl next to me too here at Loves I-29 in Mizz. Grabbed a load from Crete, NE and headed to Indy for Monday night. Sure hope I can bump that appt up to Mon morning because I'm due home Tuesday afternoon and over the holiday. I have an appt Tues aft I need to be at.

Also wanted to mention the guy I was in the training truck with told me today after just over a week in phase 3 he's already scored a local gig with Roehl, home every night and weekends off. I was pretty surprised. Good for him. I'm a little jealous..lol

 

I deliver my load in iowa monday morning than i know i wont go to far from there for the week. They know i have to be home on Friday. But yay this is my last week of a month out. Than back to me being home every weekend.

Sucks not seeing the family in so long. Plus my dog is pretty much going to be all over me when i get home. Which i am going to feel bad sending the dogs away while we go on vacation.

Gonna run to Iowa 80 in the morning and do my laundry and what not.

 

Xt 4 I-44 MO

 

TA x 130 I-65 Indy. Here 24 hrs before my appt. Trying to get it moved up as I'm due home Tuesday. This TA is very nice. Free fitness center. Got a good workout in. Wish all TS's had fitness centers.

 

I90/94 xt 48 Pilot...no fitness center around but five Roehl trucks in lot.

 

How do you guys handle appointments such as dental, doctor or whatever? Do you tell them a day before you have to be home? Meaning if the appt is the 4th, you tell them you have to be home the 3rd? I'm frustrated I won't make a dentist appt I gave plenty of notice for.

 

Tell them the date and time the appts for and a week out give constant reminders. I will every day or at least every other day. Just a qc message until I get routed to home,

 

I tried telling them I needed to be home the day before, and reminding them starting a week out but still never got home on time, then I started making the appointments for the last day I should be home if they got me home on time and then refused to leave if they got my home early, that only happened once and was not a problem for them.
