Roehl Driver Check In Continued

Staged at the East St Louis PLot for an AM delivery. Was half tempted to head down to Busch tonight and catch the Reds/Cards game, but the truck thermometer saying 111 degrees quickly changed my mind.

 

Home again for the night... Liking this dedicated route so close to home. Only bad thing is I know winter will go from about 10 loads a week to about 3-5 so I don't know what they plan on doing to get me a decent check.

As far as NY goes I will NEVER go back into the city again. After being escorted out by NYPD and being told its a 2k+ fine along with mandatory court appearance for being over length. Legal is 65' max we are over 70'.

The only good thing about that trip was I left NY about 5 and had NO traffic and never had to stop at red lights thanks to the escort HAHA. I was taken all the way to the NY/NJ border and told if I am seen back in the city I would not be driving out "if ya know what I mean" HAHHA.

 

I want a police escourt that would be fun.

Not really bro. I could of easily been given a stack of tickets (or arrested) for being where I was. I gladly showed them QC messages telling FM it was not legal and being replied to that the customer said they get trucks all the time just keep going. Although I know its still MY responsibility to refuse to go there but I chose to try to get to the customer (I don't like to give up) The responding officers were very cool in not giving me any fines.

 

Knock knock

 

Who's there?

 

Does Roehl have a southeast regional or any dedicated down this way?

 

"53-foot long trailers are not allowed to make pick ups or deliveries in any of the boroughs of New York City."

If you get a preplan to NYC just show your fleet manager this. They can find someone else to break the law.

 

I can't say personally. I know there is some in VA.
