seriously, I have only seen a few Roehl trucks that were actually nice. most of the Roehl trucks I see these days are worn, rusted out Columbias that look like they would fall apart any minuteyou would think they would actually try to get some nice trucks. I did see a nice, almost new international prostar rolling through town the other day but that's prob the only Roehl rig I"ve seen that looks drivable

is it just me or are all Roehl trucks old POS?

Last few months I have noticed a lot of new / newer ROEHL trucks and trailers on the road in the areas I run.

Saw a few new flatbeds lately , but that was in Canada , also some new vans in Ohio & PA
-
I've seen a couple of Roehl covered wagons in the last few weeks. Man throse things looked rough.

I have seen a good mix of new/old. Hard for a company to offer nice trucks when drivers wreck them...look at all the trailer crunched new Prostars, for example...the one I tested out in is a 2012, with the flare behind the sleeper held on partly with duct tape...

Thats called DRIVER ERROR , it is an ERROR to give SOME drivers a DECENT truck

I'd say over half of their fleet is made up of new Pro Stars or Cascadias. They are in the process of getting rid of a lot of the old ones. I currently have a 2006 International 9400 with about 670,000 miles on it. It doesn't look like much, but it has been a very reliable truck for the last 80,000 miles I've driven it. I was told just the other day that they have sold it though, and I will be getting another one fairly soon. No guarantee I will get a brand new one, but there is a decent chance I think.
As far as the trailers are concerned, they have a mix of old and new. I've seen some pretty rough ones, but have also used a lot of nearly new ones too. For a carrier the size of Roehl, I can't really complain about their equipment. -
