Adventures of a Flatbedder at Roehl

Well, had my fun in Canada. 90KM per hour was fun even for my Big Red SNAIL Racer. Enter at Sault Ste Marie, MI and ended in Cornwall, Ontario. No issues with the load or delivering, although I will say took a little getting used to the small TIGHT streets and roads. Not like the US. Think of any inner city that you hate driving in for extended periods of time. I can say the scenery was nice.
So, then the funs begins.
First, unload on Monday morning and then sit around for hours waiting for direction, dispatch, anything to get me out of Canada. Finally get a load to pick up right across the border, PERFECT! Oh, it picks up on Tuesday. No miles on Monday, except for crossing border.. 4 miles.
Well, get my load on Tuesday for Detroit. For some reason don't get any directions (yes I sent in macro) so I make my own route to I-81 S. Send in again and get directions and fuel routing. OK, for those who have done this more than I, have you ever taken a load through Canada to deliver in US? Any extra paperwork needs for that? My routing was through Canada, but my mileage listed was for going I-90 around to I-75. Hence not knowing laws that well I went around. Deliverd ontime.
So then get routed to Delta, OH for pickup. Pickup a coil, head to Pilot to weigh. BAd story here... I weighed in fine and a curtain driver came in behind me. He got inside before me and was getting his weight ticket. I jokingly say, "driver your over weight by 3k lbs." He gets ticket and is 2500 over weight on his trailer tandems.. ouch... I was joking, but now I feel like an ###. He had to go back to have them move his load.
So, take my load through Gary, get permits, and off in morning to Evansville, WI. Drop load and send messages... nothing. In a dead zone and nothing I'm sending is getting out. So call FM and get next load, pick up right where I am at. COOL
Go inside shipping office, loads not ready and won't be until this afternoon. Cool, I'll wait. A coupe of hours go by and another Roehl flat bedder pulls in. I go to chat with him and just as I get there he tells me his load was just canceled. He was picking up there as well. As we chat, get a call from my FM, can't send and receive message remember, load canceled find truck stop and hold tight.
Well, it's what time and I am now getting, check back tomorrow.
That's two days this week NOTHING. OOHHHH, the winter slow down sucks! When's Thanksgiving again?
