Roehl Driver Check In Continued

I like Marshfield and Appleton the best. Did RDTC there, tested there, and my FM's have always been from Marshfield and I feel most comfortable there. My first experiences at Gary left me not very impressed. I've been to Gary a lot now and feel comfortable there now, it's just a different environment than upnorth and I treat it differently. Seems that Garys getting better with the facelift.

I have to get a shot quarterly at the Marshfield Clinic (very nice place) so I send FM a note to get me there. It seems that its tougher to get a vanload through there than it is to get to Gary.

I'm hoping that they continue to build up there and keep up the business in those areas. Considering the other areas I go to with Roehl, upper Wisconsin is rather trucking friendly. Generally good roads, nice customers and nice people. I'm a bit old school and still like the family business atmosphere. Last time at Mothership made the rounds, stopped into RDTC, saw the FM in person... considering it's work...it's a pretty nice place.

 

I can only imagine how crazy things are going to get having a cold storage. Sounds like fun, I hope they keep them open. I know when the bought Blume Farms, the operated out of their buildings for awhile then closed them down. Likewise when they bought part Ort (that was odd by the way) they ran out of their buildings for awhile then closed the down (or sold them back).

 

According to the this article, some of the current management from Brock will stay on to help in management.

that's how they do things, keep the staff for the transition period. then if the location closes they have the option to work in Marshfield. Overall they treat purchased assets pretty well.

 

Bald? He hassled me about a load I was pulling one time. Was told he was never a flatbedder and had not been to securement training but would watch trucks come in to Marshfield and give the drivers a hard time over stupid things. None of the flatbedders cared for him.

 

He was a good guy, I liked him. Then again I told my guys at Marshfield if they were going to do anything with their loads not to do it between the buildings.

 

Lol my fm told me that as well. Go hide in the back somewhere out of sight of the office.

 

It wasn't the head safety guy that was bald. He was fine. Maybe this was a training guy. I think he worked in the school building.

 

That might be where the mostly bald tall guy went to. Otherwise I'm not sure you would be referring to. Either way, they're all pretty decent, but if you're going to do anything securement related in the yard hide out back.

 

He was the only one that ever gave me any grief. All the rest of the office folks were great. I used to try and hide way in the corner by the new trucks anyway. Otherwise I would wake up blocked in by other trucks.
