    Been there almost 2 years and I also have that 8 speed. The trany is ok but I'm glad I have a CAT like I said I runs strong and it hasn't giving me no problems. New Trucks always makes drivers happy. I'm thinking Transport America soon.

    I have an International with a 9 speed as well. I like the truck and hope to keep it as long as possible, but with the new electronic logs coming I will probably find a different driving job at a smaller company.

    I hope to keep this International till I leave in 2 months, this company needs better Trucks if they want to keep drivers.

    .30 cents a miles wouldn't be bad if you have a nice Truck. I got tape holding the inside of my Truck together. And the tire cables I use last year out west for the snow were in very bad shape. I'll never go NorthWest for Roehl again they cannt get me home on time. East of I-35 or I'm done. They never training me to put chains on or cables, a snow plow driver in Oregon stop on an I've cover road to show in a snow storm with -17 degress, well the cables were so rusted they broke as we were trying to put them on so He gave me a set for each side just to get me out of there. I Thank God for that Driver. I'll take the East coast anytime. If Roehl is going to send drivers west they need better Equipment & Training.

    Why??? Electronic logs are pretty good. We have them at SNI and they work really well.

    It is Roehl nothing works well here... The e-logs would be fine if we didn't still have to keep paper logs too. It is hard to break old habits when you still have to use them everyday.
