Roehl Driver Check In Continued

Pretty Good sized truck stop here in the U.P. Wakefield, MI, corner of MI28, and US2. Lots of snow.

 

ROETAW Appleton, WI. Taking care of some business, eating lunch, doing laundry and then going home.

 

Hanging out with my stepdaughter at home. She's playing a game on her iPad and ignoring the world.

 

Wow, guess I haven't checked in in a few days!

this wouldnta been at Davenport,IA Purina would it?

mine yesterday was 37000+ on the tandems when I scaled, was awesome staying on the little road next to the scale....at least it's next to the warehouse :/

love that stop, tons of cool yummy stuff!

might want to look into that more, your background check thingy is only good for 90 days I think, seems to me endorsements would transfer to your state.

made the mistake of turning mine in last spring, turned out OK tho as I got a full set of virtually new ones in Neenah!

which are now with whoever the heck they gave MY truck to..... see below

stepdad warned me but NOOOO I thought kitty litter would be sufficient.

and is is just fine....UNLESS there is ANY water present, then it may as well be oil

I now have a bag-o-sand after a two hour ordeal getting unstuck at my home parking after Christmas


So here I sit at Dollar General in Marion, IN, where they will "squeeze" my massively overdue HOT HOT load in.

yes, it was already overdue when I picked it up, this is the overaxle load mentioned previously. as a bonus, it had a flat tire. fortunately a new trailer so it aired itself back up and they replaced it when I got to Gary.

Life lesson learned today.....

when they issue you a loaner truck and tell you your truck is still yours...bla bla bla

take EVERYTHING with you!

3-4 bottles fuel treat, awesome brand new chains, the mount for my sat radio and of course whoever cleaned out my truck (the day after I left it there according to the date on boxes) nicely CUT the wire to my $60 satellite antenna. by the length of it, he'da had it off the truck intact in less than ten minutes with a ladder n wrench! both my CB antennae.

other than that everything was there, pretty sure I had ditched the I pad at the house over Christmas....

FM gonna send message to the trucks FM requesting they drop off CB whips next time in Gary, and no doubt Roehl will make good on the sat antenna

life goes on, but I sure miss my baby!

7945, a great truck that gave no problems and good luck. she will be missed

look for me in 4158, ill be the guy limping till I get something for the seat that feels like steel grating on one side

 

Anywhere to stay on 33E into Saukville?

 

Closest Truckstop to Saukville is in Belgium,WI exit 107 on I-43 about 10 minutes north.

 

Thank you!!! although I am getting kind of sleepy, and might not make it that far.

How is everyone? I can't believe how cold it got again

 

I had a lot of fun on the back roads in Arkansas today.
Gateway PLot E St Louis. Cons at 0800 then St Louis to Chicago.

 

Sticking to SE basically whole time out which I can't complain, miles have been decent and mother nature is providing free truck washes

 

Ended up in Motley, MN, US10. Ran into kardolmar, here, and had dinner. Bricks Shell truck stop. Big place in the center of the state.
