Roehl Driver Check In Continued

Off week. Low miles, bad loads, and a refused load.
NORSCI went bad for me, on account CS didn't bill the trailer I got loaded. They didn't think it a real trailer or something. Was one of the Brock Stoughton trailers, which had the Roehl logo rebranding done. So got told to park and call FM. FM calls CS. CS and FM call me. Another FM calls me--why you out of route 5 miles? 5 Miles? Cause after MT call, I had to go to sleep and closest place was ROETAW--5 miles away. Ok, no problem, just needed to know. FM and CS still chatting... still chatting... questioning, prodding. Ok, tell him wait 15 mins, I'll get it billed.

Got billed, ingated, and unhooked. Ran to Gary and snatched my relay in record time and ran to K-zoo for the unload. Clock winding down to 3 hours by departure from Gary. Go baby go Got to K-zoo, dropped at con, picked MT and drove out in record time. 50 mins left to day. Close to home. Departed con for the truck stop 1 mile from home. arrive in enough time to do a quick post and go off duty. I just made it

If not for the Billing issues, would have been done with 1-2 hours left over for my day. But hey, still made it home.

 

next time drive like 20 miles to a truck stop...lol. they see you're at appleton terminal and question why you're five miles out of route... that would have pissed me right off.

 

Was at NORSCI when they called. I found it odd and just said, oh--I went to ROETAW after getting MT last load. It was 5 miles away and I needed to shut down.

Think they're microscoping me for my rookie error earlier this week. First load, 177 MT, 19 Ld'd. Got it to Con and they wouldn't live unload, only drop. So I dropped and sent MT. BIG mistake. On route to next shipper no trlr, was supposed to be preld. Not so. Sent message about needing trlr and got ripped into for dropping the trlr and bobbing out. Told to go back and make them live or let them refuse. Went back, they refused to I took load to Gary.
I didn't call about the drop and refuse to live. So was my fault. Luckily was only 15 miles away at the time. Not a good way to start a week to be sure.

 

Iowa 80 for the night.

 

I'm glad I didn't have to do that. I took two years off and only did 4 days of orientation and got my truck.

 

At flying J at xit 188 on I-15 sipio Utah. Deliver tomorrow afternoon. Get a little reset and cleaned inside truck. DQ here had blizzard chocolate with heath bar.

 

Hammond LA at cons for 0545 appt. 73 & sunny... 82 degree change from Thursday nights negative numbers up north.

 

Glad I stopped in here (Iowa. 80). My B.S. filter needed a little workout. I'll have to be careful not to stay too long or it might burst.

 

I havn't checked in here in awhile! Been home since 1/7 with an injury. Not sure when I will be cleared to go back. If they try to make me do some refresher crap after a month or so off I surely will just stay home. Half their trainers can't drive for #### *Cough* GoBlue *Cough* HAHAHAHAHHAHA

They took my truck whcih blows since I was the only person to drive it and it was the few ProStars with the cummins. Ohh well. More PT tomorrow Getting more snow tonight so anyone traveling 81/84 in PA have fun. Roads are BAD!

 

VA, LA????? I thought you were stuck up in the Ohio area nowdays?
