Is Roehl ever going to get any new equipment?

I believe BBB pays 85-90%, but regardless that's still better than just about anywhere.

 

If I was going O/O I'd deff buy my own truck. You lease one of roehls Columbus's at 400$ a week. Contract (from my understanding is 4 years) that's about 43k-45k paid just for the truck and to not come out of the lease with it.. Just not worth it. But who knows maybe my logic is wrong.

I have thought about going O/O I just don't think it's wise to make a decision this early for myself.

 

I agree, if i buy my own truck it will not be a Freightliner. It will be 1 of three.

1. Pete 389 glider with an n14 or a 3406b
2. Mack chn613
3. Kenworth t660

The Pete would have a 63" flat top sleeper, fridge, apu, and 6" straight cut stacks

Now that is bad #####

 

where exactly do you plan to put a fridge in a flat top? lol and what are you planning on pulling with it? if your planning on pulling a van/reefer you'll be throwing money out the window on fuel with all that air hitting the front of the trailer.

Freightliner was bottom on my list until I started dealing with fuel economy and repairs. Whether it's a radiator or starter I'm finding the Freightliners are money makers. It's not a Rolls, but it stays on the road and makes money. I'm not sure now that I want the other trucks, especially the Prostars.

 

I wouldn't want a prostar, ever lol

Freightliners are on the bottom of my list. Every single freightliner I've been in has had problems. Even this new truck I have has a MAJOR problem that two freightliner dealerships couldnt figure out. 2 days in Wausau, WI and 6 days in Jacksonville, FL.

Freightliner didn't even send a rep out when both shops couldn't figure it out.. And it's not a minor thing, when I hit my brakes the truck changes lanes basically. It's extremely dangerous, and I'm having to drive it. Though, if this problem wasn't here and had this big of a pain to fix, this truck would of set freightliner to the top of my list. Comfort wise I love it, engine wise I love it. But if the mechanics tried (and I'm being serious) 18 Pages of things to try then there's a issue.

New brake drums, shoes, chambers, tires, airlines, rims, s cam, you name it. Can you explain to me why a rep from freightliner didn't come out? When Wausau had one come out for some ones AC?

 

If you went to Truck Country no wonder they couldn't fix it. I wouldn't trust them to fill a tire. Have you been to the Appleton terminal? I have had good results from Stoops in Indiana and Truck Centers in Illinois.
