Roehl Driver Check In Continued

Same thing happened to me last week. Was a mystery why it wasn't included.

 

I was told new FM's are going around due to "changes in the office" whatever that means...

 

Who is your FM?

 

Isn't amazing what our minds and bodies get used to as normal, and not?
Yes, this has happened to me a few times. The 1st time freaked me out, like it sounds it did you, and called maint. Thay told me to pull the body controller fuse for 10 min. I did, it worked. Next time it happened, I just manually started the truck, let it run until it shut off, and reengaged the auto start. Heated some coffee in the nuker, and before the 2 minutes was up, the truck auto started just fine. So that's usually what I did the next few times it's happened. It has happened prolly once/month or slightly less. Eh, whatever.

 

It also won't work if the hood is up, or yellow tractor valve is not pulled. And it will shut off if you depress the clutch.

 

If you can, note your mpg. They should go way up with an enclosed trl!

 

Most CA tolls & bridges are cash only for us. I forgot about one that I had to cross after a craptastic cust, and was $5 short. But it's not like you can turn around on a bridge once you get that far. Lol So she took my info and let me go. Prolly sent a toll due notice to Rick.

 

So BOTH Independence Tubes (CHI & Marseilles) had me in and out like I was carrying the plague! Nice. I might actually make the cons b4 5pm. Well I get here to cons AT 3:30!!! with a tired right foot from flooring it the whole way, and the guy says to me, "Oh, we weren't expecting you until 6 or 7." WTF Roehl? Dispatch said 5pm or I'd have to wait until morning.

Soooo I had to wait until 5 for them to empty un-manned trailers clogging the loading dock. Back in, then untarp, cuz of the downpour, and I'm still sitting. Tho he finally started unloading me 30 min ago. At least I earned some detention. And it better darn well be there next week!

BUT I got PP already, going 1430mi from KS back to CA.

BUT theyre asking for another tire burner, cuz they want it there by 10am Friday.

I'm so tired....

 

Lol thats funny any time i have the big windsail above the cab of my truck the fuel mileage sinks like a rock.

 

Around Cedar Rapids. Pouring rain all day. Got load secured and tarped before rain started. Stopped with still 2 he's to drive, but the dark and heavy rain wore me out. Along with doing first solo tarp. Yay about 3 1/2 hours. 300 miles to cons still and no directions. Nobody answered the phone or returned messages. Guess I'll just have to try in the morning. Not going into St. Louis unsure about an address.
