I Quit (if Roehl had an exit interview it might have gone like this)

My goal is to work for a yr then go Owner op!! reading this info scares me! I need min 600 per week take hm! If not I move on.

 

Move on unless you never need home. You can make money and average enough miles to stay above that. Normally if I am doing 11/3 I get above 600 one week then under the other.

 

If you stay out for 3 weeks with a good running truck you can see 800 every week and then 400ish the week ur home. Gotta trip plan trip plan trip plan. and figure out how roehl dispatches and stick to a schedule and ull be ran like hell, just dont have any service failures/late loads.

 

I have never trip plan any suggestions??? Is the training at Roehl good enough to show me the correct way to get ot done????

 

Yes it is. But you can't plan things when they give you appointments that are set and take away all the plan you work out. Like recently with me. So dude you can plan plan plan and plan some more, but when the company sets an appointment and says sit here till then. How does planning help? Just saying its not as simple as you suggest. Unless of course you have a excellent planner and FM that takes up for you. You know?

 

is this for Van? What is flatbed averaging?

 

Ive honestly only had to sit 3 times for a day waiting for an appointment time. you could call up and ask if you can relay if theres a DY near by if its possible. Its always worth a try to relay a load just to keep you moving.

 

Well I'm close to finishing RDTC. I hope my experience is positive like everybody else. I hope I did not make a mistake. Maybe it was YOURSELF that caused you not to average many miles?

 

Here is what I would advise you, if you can't make it work on 2500 miles a week than you should look somewhere else.
