Roehl Driver Check In Continued

I-84 xt 20 PA. Just met up with Projektf350, talked for about an hour. Good to meet another one.

 

I'm too new and don't have the stones to turn down loads yet. Thankfully I shook the reefer and am back to van tonight. Seemed like all I was doing for 3 days was relaying reefer loads to yards for other drivers to grab and run across the country with. Shut down at the Pilot off I-80 near What Cheer, Iowa. Drop at Lowe's in Omaha tomorrow, then a pre-plan to Indy.

 

grand rapids..still home til the third, dinner with a friend tonight. hoping for a nice long load for the 3rd and 4th, should be a nice slow start with the long holiday weekend... hope everyone has a good weekend!

 

I80 OH Middle Ridge Plaza. Cons on Monday in MN at 0700 with about one hour more on 70 than needed to get there...nice that load is only 20k. Headed home over 4th & weekend.

 

i'll give irish a check in since he rarely if ever gets on here and I spent a few minutes on the phone with him today. he is doing well and is in the middle of a nice long run from pa to wisc..

how did you do today bayle? you are my hero!

 

How often do you guys find you run through indy? Saw 5 or 6 trucks along 65 today alone. Maybe I have just tuned myself to look for your trucks. Thanks!

 

I saw 4 on I80 in Ohio driving from Cleveland towards Toledo Ohio. All looked like Dry Vans but one may have been a reefer. I think one may have been The OSU!

 

Might have me...I was on 80 until ext 150 in OH. Sitting at the J ext 223 on I 90.

 

Often. At least for flats. Lots of the Gary/East Chicago/Milwaukee freight moves south on 65.

I'm on extended hometime, thanks to both turbos taking a dive last Monday morning. Thank God I was delivering to Reno! I'd hate to be stuck in a random city, needing a hotel room, possibly having nothing to do...

I did my pretrip, everything was kosher. When I got to my fuel stop 100 miles later, there was significant oil sprayed on both sides of the steer axle/tie rod and the dipstick was down 3/8". So I called maint and they told me to finish my delivery, 45 miles away, then drop my trailer and bobtail to the local dealer.
Shouldn't an Int'l dealer have turbos in stock? So it has taken a full 5 days to find them and get them shipped?? Sounds a little ridiculous to me. And why are they going out at only 117xxx miles, anyway?!?

 

Pilot xt 96 I-70 IN. INDY. Going to Tulsa. 650.5 miles down today. I think personal best with Roehl. Parked with 23 min left on 11.
