Roehl Driver Check In Continued

I complained a little to my FM too. I sat at Nestle for over 5 hrs, got 4 hrs sleep, then got up and delivered (after waiting 2 hrs at the cons) all for around $50. Not worth it at all. They finally got me out of there and headed to Indiana for tomorrow.

 

Spending the night at a service plaza in PA on I70. Dropping in North Vernon, IN tomorrow.

 

Sat for 15 hours Tue w/2 pallets of 'damaged product'. Had me drop trailer in a yard for another driver to deal with once the shipper made a decision on how to handle it. Talk about wasting time...told yesterday it's still not resolved. So if you pick up a trailer in IN with 2 pallets if stuff on it, you can blame me.

 

With my luck lately I probably will get that. Is it in Gary?

 

At the Petro in Gary. They had me relay the Jersey load to Gary. I picked up in Elwood and delivering tomorrow evening in Pittsburgh.

I did it a week ago in east St. Louis. Not your fault poop happens, only thing that sucks is that it was a waste of time. I've picked up relays that had damaged freight and took them back to the shipper bc they wanted their product back. So it might not be bad for the next guy, even if it is everyone has to take some lumps along the way. Sometimes you ditch it and keep going, sometimes you get stuck with someone else's mess. Everyone will go through it eventually nature of the beast.

 

Same thing could happen with other relays. I've dropped a relay in Jacksonville going to coke, which is only a few miles from the yard, but it was a live unload, and I didn't have the time on my 14. Some poor driver had to get that. I've been on the other side and picked up a relay in Marshfield going to Menards in Marshfield live unload. Think how confused you might be getting a preplan that says 0 mt miles and 0 loaded miles.

 

Yeep I had I winner yesterday too...had to get a reefer in Bethlehem from Ben Salem. 56 mt
And 0 loaded. Get the train yard find the trl and the fuel is just above .5 on the reefer. Went about 30 miles to get fuel and than 25 more to get to the cons. I said to the fuel desk "oh great I get to donate another hr too Roehl" when he gave me directions to the TS. That were wrong anyway....should have just went on my own but there isn't much to choose from.

 

Anyone sitting at beautiful Gary today?
