Is Roehl ever going to get any new equipment?

Yeah but work great at home ! I don't use a ladder either, as I'm able to pull my big arse
Up in a dry van to sweep it out. It ain't pretty but I can do it !

 

All new trucks with APU's. Oh and no problems like break downs.. Ever.

Bit much to ask?

 

A list of things roehl should do in my opinion.

Replace every single flatbed trailer with the new east spread axles (they've almost done this, still quite a few red wooden flats lurking around)

Sell the prostars and cascadias. And do as follows

Van/reefer fleet- Glider Pete 386's with high rise 70" bunks and pre emissions cummins of at least 450 horses

Curtainside- do the same as above but with 500 cats purring under the hoods

Flatbed- Pete 389 gliders with 63" flat top sleepers, 600 cat 3406e, 13 speeds (18 for our heavy haul guys), have a separate division of just Conestoga kits. For hauling coils dedicated.

That seems about right to me. Lol



DISCLAIMER: These are only thoughts from a rookie flatbed driver who has a need for a hood truck and a sweet engine. I do not know one thing about running a company so these are just ideas.


FEEL FREE TO ADD TO THE LIST LOL

I could live with that ^ only reefer and curtainside with 389's. They boast more power than 386 I would assume. Its like a fantasy draft for trucks. LOL can only dream

 

All of which will be 63 miles per hour.


Such a waste of nice engines.










Oh and cut back 89% for fuel. Just saying!

 

Yeah that's the kicker plus the price tag and maintenance that's why I put fantasy and dream

 

You can get a 386 with a 600 cummins

And no lantern, governed to 70. But the 389's will only go too guys with 6+ months experience. If they tear it up then they get punished by having to drive a volvo

Haha if only man. I see new drivers with brand spanking new trucks all the time. Which is fine because I like my frieghtshaker kinda but it would be nice having a new prostar with a APU.

When I joined Roehl I got a 9400i... Hunk o junk. I did like it for awhile til I got towed. Then it was all down hill.

Oh and 70?!? Man safety would #### a brick of that was going to happen!

 

My first truck at Roehl back in 2006 was a 9400i. It only had 67,500 miles on it when I got it. The only thing I really remember about it was it had a BIG steering wheel.

 

Yeah true haha. Safe 7.....70 MPH. Lol
