My Experience with Lone Star Transportation

Yeah but if that happens you can always edit it.

I pulled into a truck stop, I was out if hours and went off duty. I moved to another spot and it put me on duty and showing a log violation. I just edited it back to off duty and the violation was nonexistent

unfortunately you cannot edit anything with our system. I should have mentioned that in the other post actually.

 

Oh okay. We have elogs by qualcomm. If that's what y'all have then it may be a different software.

Our system lets us edit anything that isn't on the drive line. Which is good for me cuz I always forget certain things. Like pulling into a customer and logging on duty: customer check in. But even though ill be in the sleeper sometimes I forget to change my status. I just go back and edit.

I would prefer to be on paper though lol

yup had that system with my last company, was nice being able to edit, cant see how we wont eventually be able to do it here. The girl that runs it must get bombarded with calls for corrections. Perfect example today, took this truck in for its for first oil change today and 8 hours later I come back (yes an oil change took that long and they didnt even bother to top off the other fluids) to the truck to see I've been on duty the entire time. I made sure I was off when I gave them the keys and the truck moved about 30 feet so not sure what happened there. Good thing I'm resetting my hours now.

 

I hear ya. I was planning on eventually moving to lonestar but if I'm forced on e logs I gotta be able to edit my non drive time. Also, I don't really care much for anything under a 10 speed. I wanna get into heavy haul but our heavy haul division is like American trucker said about Watkins/Shepard flat division, its a long waiting list and waiting for people to either quit or retire.

Plus there would be about 120 people in front of me if i put my name in. So yeah lol.

I do like most of the stuff I've read about your company, seems like a good outfit.

The positives far outweigh the negatives here and if you do consider coming over make sure you get at least one year flatbed experience, which you probably almost have already but it means you start at a higher level here. More money, bigger loads.

 

I hear ya. Ive been with roehl since November of last year, I switched from van to flats last month. I couldn't be happier, yeah tarping I can't stand haha, but at the end of the day I feel like I did something other than hold the steering wheel.

I wouldn't mind the 9 speeds seeing as I believe Yalls whole fleet are Pete's

I got 6 months to go before my year is up with roehl. I wanna show one year with a company before i do anything anyway.

That was the same plan I had, Petes and KW's here. The 379's are going away being replaced by 387's and T660's.

 

I like the t660's, not a big fan of the 387's though. But shoot, I know id start out making more than i would here and ill drive anything they give me.

I wanna become an o/o really bad but I'm making enough money to really just cover my bills and have a little extra. That's at 35cpm though.

Ethan

 

think the T660's have bigger sleepers too. How many miles do you get at Roehl?
