My logic is simple math. The longer you stay out, the more days you have in which you can get a long run. Staying out 11 days is not gonna get you a load from east to west coast and back, as there is not enough time to do it in. And the last 3-4 days before hometime is not gonna allow you to get a 1000 mile load in the opposite direction from your home. So in an 11 day period, you only have about 7-8 days that ROEHL can give you loads of 1000 miles or longer. Stay out 30 days and you go from 7-8 days 26-27 days that you can get 1000 mile loads or longer.
In the last 4 weeks, I have had 5 loads of over 1000 miles. I would have missed out on some of them if I was due hometime 2-3 days after pickup.
Does not mean you will definitely get good miles if you stay out longer, but it definitely increases your chances. -

It's not your fault for someone else's truck being too heavy with a load. I'm guessing they fueled up before grabbing the load and checking the weight on it. No scale ticket? I'll say a majority of relay loads I've picked up had no scale ticket. And I've never whined to dispatch about it in my almost 5 years here. Most the time I reweigh the load even if it does have a scale ticket.
This crybaby isn't going to last long if he does this all the time. We don't need people like that in trucking.Dark Squall Thanks this. -

I've made more $ on dedicated (home 2 nights week) than on national (home every 2 weeks).
More D&H and fresh 70 most weeks means 40-50 miles more per day and sitting/restarts at home.Dark Squall Thanks this. -
Roehl is creepy. I got a message after I left the Appleton terminal about remembering to watch for students and employees in the lot.... (Duh??? I didn't hit anyone?) and to use 3 points of contact getting out of my truck, not go forward.
Really? Y'all got nothing better to do than be a creep and watch me on your cameras? I wasn't being crazy and I'm always watching where I'm going? And I haven't fallen out of my truck yet, so leave me alone.
in Muskegon. 2 more stops in MI then 4 in Cleveland, Oh. Then HOME!Projektf350 and Dark Squall Thank this. -
When I was pulling open deck for Roehl, I was staying out 3 to 4 weeks at a time, averaged 2100 a week, and sat A LOT. Perfect record on all accounts and never complained. Maybe things have changed but miles sucked and was one of the main reasons I moved to greener pastures.
classic_150 and Meltom Thank this.
