Life After Roehl

Pulling a van. Did reefer years ago and gave it up to pull a flatbed for almost 7 years. I'm tired of the flatbed...I served my time in every weather

 

I hear ya. I do love my flat

Six months in the books and my email of pay info tonight shows I have only earned $21,039.24....That's terrible and will only avg out to be $42k..

 

Truck has been turned in and I'm home. There was a small attempt to get me to stay on, and was told "Good luck, and we hope to hear you want to come back REAL SOON."

Guess I'm eligible for rehire. Hopefully I won't need to find out.

 

Shoot that's living like a king for me, although I'm single. I thought I was making great money....till I realized if I had a kid and a wife to provide for it would put me in the hole.

I'm always looking for bigger and better, I'm hoping to find it once I put in my year.

Really? What did that entail? I ask because I'm jealous. I gave two-weeks notice, after being there for five years, and got "Good luck."

 

That is the same response I got and ended up only finishing one week of the two week. Glad I did it that way too since they dragged another driver out almost three days past his last day.

 

4 days after you quit I saw someone in gary driving your truck lol

Yeah, it doesn't take too long to replace us, probably a good thing for them at the rate guys are leaving

 

I left roehl last april, I pulled a van when I was there, its not a bad place at all. But im a local o/o now and im already on my second truck. Im home every night and the pay/freedom is much much better. If I had to do it over again I would. Remember trucking is what you make of it.
