Roehl Driver Check In Continued

I'm home btw. Didn't think I'd make it today. Delivery was a 10:00 appt tomorrow only 60 miles from home. I called cons, said they take me today. Fork driver said it's one less truck he's got to worry about tomorrow. Win, win.

 

ice road trucker tonight....kc at a ts i35 and 36

 

Which Ice Road trucker are you more like? Alex Debogorski or Hugh "the polar bear" Roland?

 

Don't let him kid you. He's more like the complainer dude that had blue hair.

 

Rick Yemm. He was a character lol.

 

Is that legal? You can't use bungees right?

 

Gary for the night. Dropped a relay here after getting voided on another failed P&G load. Heading to Carroll, IA for Monday morning. Heading home Tuesday!

 

That is correct. Bungees have a 0 lb. working load limit, legal to secure tarps to a load only. Not that I don't see plenty of drivers strap stuff to their catwalk with them. But you can use a little ratchet-strap thingy just fine; I use one to keep my ladder in place on the back of my equipment rack.

At home now, about to start sipping my frozen rum drink. (I am from Minnesota, after all.)

 

I have been home since Thursday evening. They bobtailed me home from Marshfield on Thursday. Monday morning i go to the drop yard and grab a flat or step to go get loaded than go home for Christmas than deliver the day after Christmas.

Just loving the fact that iam back to my dedicated deal.

 

A little sore from skiing and shoveling. Had to be careful not to complain about getting old, as we were skiing with one if our high school teachers who is 71. It's funny, we're (old high school friend and I) 51 and he still calls us boys. After his second spill late in the day he said, "That's it for me boys." I hope I'm still in good shape at that age.
