Roehl Driver Check In Continued

That's when the doors to the showers actually work. Tried 5 different ones last night. The lock would unlock for a second, then immediately re-lock. Everybody was having problems, but as usual nobody that could fix them cared.

 

Still no clue. Most dangerous ones are the type that think they know everything, but know nothing.

 

You got that right. I was a little surprised at how quick Roehl drivers are to turn in other Roehl drivers for the tiniest of infractions, like not having a lock on an empty trailer. In my first couple of weeks, back in 2009, I got turned in for that one at least twice and once I was just moving an empty in the yard in Marshfield.

I don't even like to pass other Roehl trucks. I usually just "slow down and stay back." Why take chances with an over zealous trainer sitting in the jump seat with nothing better to do.

 

Dickies is the Taco Bell of Texas BBQ. Gotta go to Texas to get the real stuff and stop at a place like Bubba's on 35 just north of Dallas. Real Texans scoff at Dickies.

 

Welcome aboard. I don't know anything about dedicated accounts in Texas, but just wanted to say hi.

 

At the Wilbur Shaw service plaza on I-80 in IN. Couldn't quite make it to Gary where I'm now supposed to waste time in the morning getting fuel. I might just skip it and fuel in Marshfield.

 

Wonder if anyone #####ed at me the few times I pulled a van or reefer. I dont own a set of locks, never got any When I started with roehl. Recovered a truck for me and said here you go its already stocked for you. Never had to pay for locks cause I never got any.

But yeah the amount of rats in the company is insane. I still pass other roehl trucks cause I don't care. If they call me in f em I dont care. Been called in before and was simply asked do you feel comfortable running that pace. Nothing ever happened to me.

 

yep, like being a northern guy, and passing some driver from the south when there is a flurry and he's doing 30mph. Then gettin called on it, right?

 

that was me

 

I called the cops that morn, that hour lost blew my whole day, and gave me a whole 97 miles for the day!
