Roehl Driver Check In Continued

Parked at Appleton terminal for the night, deliver load of concrete wallboard just north of Green Bay in the morning.

 

Why don't you like curtain side? I thought about giving that a try.

 

Old curtainbside rear latch is broke have to bungee it. First stop was screwed up now second stop doesnt want it. I am beyound frustrated.

The old curtaib sides pull like ####. The curtains dont like to slide. The tandems dont like to slide. Give me a spread axke flat any day.

 

The only advantage of running curtains for flatbed drivers when I worked there was most of their freight was out and back. Where Van's and Refer usually did triangles at best, and more than likely out and regional until you complained enough to get them back to their origin.

 

Well now its official I wont make it on time for last stop. Cause no way I can get 4 stops off by 3 now. Still trying to figure out what to do with this issue.

wonder how they are going to twist this into my fault.

 

They were supposed to be fixing those issues when I was still there. I had kept track and made a list of trlrs that needed repairs that were pre-loaded down the road from the mothership. I talked to Mitch about the issues and gave him the list. He seemed genuinely interested in trying to resolve the curtainside issues. Guess those above him had other ideas...

 

Those were the same issues going on when I was there, Mitch was there at that time as well. He should have been aware of these issues, not saying he wasn't genuinely interested, but he might just be good at telling you what you wanted to hear.

 

That thought crossed my mind also but I try to see the good in people....

 

Launching out tonight to rescue a load going to Rogers, MN in the morning, then PP to Arkansas.
