Any info on Roehl's trucks?

mostly frightliners and internationals, all or most are manuals, all have bunk heaters unless they have a apu installed, trks maintained pretty good, you'll be in the shop alot, although the terminal imho in gary leaves alot to be desired, pre pass/easy pass, trks run when i was there 60 on the cruise, 62 on the foot,all in all not tooooo bad of a co for being so big, safety is taken seriously,

 

Fleet of more than 1,900 power units and 4,600 trailers includes truck types like Freightliner Century Class, Columbia and Cascadia, Internationals, Kenworth, and Volvo

 

Roehl has quite a few new KW T660's running around lately

 

They only have about a dozen T660s. Most of the rest are Frieghtliners and Internationals, there are also some new Volvos. You get what is available when it is time to assign a truck. If it is new, good for you, if it is old, good luck. They are buying enough new trucks to keep the fleet average below three years old. Miles is not a real big consideration anymore in how long a truck stays in the fleet. Trailers... Thats another story. They just got a bunch of new East flatbeds and step decks. The rest of the fleet, some new vans, most several years old, curtainside fleet; most 10 to 12 years old. A few that were purchased in 2005 and 2006. They do try their best to keep things fixed, but when stuff gets old it is an uphill battle.

 

also been seeing some new internationals ProStars and New Peterbilts in the company driver fleet

 

if you get round Marshfield you may, good luck and keep the rubber side down
