Roehl Driver Check In Continued

What kind of stupid crap? I want to rub it in to your safety staff

 

It's not safety in my opinion. It's a number of other things. But some here get to offended, so I won't say.

 

I80 Elkhart travel plaza. Been a cool week. Started bad with a trailer needing all new breaks and an annual, but had three deliveries this week that were also pick ups. Made some good miles for a change.

Oh, and got a HUGE surprise with this trailer. 1 its brand spanking new, 2 its a Hyundai HD Composite Feather light, and 3 it pulls like a dream with 43000 lbs. Night and day compared with the mega $£|t trailers I hauled all week. Only one load all week under 40k, was 36k. LOL!!!

Oh well, this trailer makes up for it all
Even has trailer tails, skirts, and stickers all over it reminding drivers of the tail. Hope Roehl trades in for more like this.

 

Make sure to send in your PP confirmation. I think that helps. If not I give them 15 mins, then I send in a freeform requesting load info. Never wait hours.

 

Yea it's getting bad again. Feel like my QC is getting blown up daily with warning messages. Maybe they're just freaking out about the DOT blitz again.

 

I blow up the Truck PC with messages like ( Cant make any money sitting) Or dang did all the planners quit. Then I usually get a plan.

 

If I don't have a preplan when I go mt i send message...pp or load please Ty. If nothing in five minutes I send the following msg...heading to nearest truck stop, please send load. I usually get the plan as I'm enroute to the truck stop. Lol

 

Roeta for the weekend, meteor shower tonight...wear your hard hat.

Dark squall I pulled a Hyundai once and yes they are nice.

Had a new 65xxx trailer with the abs cycle thing they caught at Gary fuel stop. Pulled into trailer shop and they messed with my tractor fuses. Fixed trailer and broke the tractor..lol no start...Gary maintenance is currently batting 0-4 this month with getting something fixed without complications. I really do like the people at Gary but I've lost my confidence there. Marshfield or Appleton..that's the place to go.

 

OSU....u still around? Swing by mogadore this weekend. I talked too Irish today and he is moving up to LTl doubles and lots more $$$...I am very happy for him. That leaves me and OSU the last survivors.

 

I am sitting in the drop yard in OH. Strangely, I was given a van to get me home because flatbed was slow they said. So, I headed back out yesterday, I picked up a van trailer, drop and pick up a loaded one. Made it to the consignee and drop and pick up empty. They tell me they want to get me back to a flatbed as soon as they can. The next load assignment is to pick up a van that in going to NY for delivery. I am to relay it to Gary. There are 9 or 10 loaded flatbeds sitting in the drop yard here and even a couple of empty flatbeds. Go figure... I am still too new to not really care. One thing I have learned is you van haulers have a much easier life!
