Roehl Flatbed Trucks

Prostars and Cascadias for the most part.

 

A mix. Most have Maxxforce, but some have cummins. They seem to be moving towards cummins on newer ones.

 

To answer earlier, no APU. They have EPU. But newer trucks have auto start, or opti idle. No inverters. Average miles is as advertised. 2000 + is usual for me. With tarp pay, I've no complaints yet.

 

I'd assume it was gross, since they can't know your individual tax situation. And if you run 14 days or more out at a time, I'd say it is fairly accurate. There are a lot of variables that come into play, so treat such estimates as somewhat optimistic, under good-to-ideal conditions.

Other answers: If you live within 60 or so miles of a terminal or drop yard, they usually prefer that you park both the tractor and trailer at the terminal/yard. They have areas for parking of personal vehicles. I'm not aware of cases where they let the driver regularly bobtail home with the tractor, but there could be.

 

They tend to like if you are taking the truck home that you have a trailer with you. So you don't have to go back to a terminal or drop yard to get a trailer than go for a load.
