Roehl Driver Check In Continued

Launch again tomorrow I think. They had me set to come back tuesday but I said I could launch monday. Been home since the evening of the fifth.

 

An hour after launch, you'll be wishing you took that other day.

 

Sitting at Lowe's in North Vernon waiting for a pp. Weekend dispatch is slowwwww..

 

This weekend is slow period. Met several drivers the last couple days saying they got nothing. It's like a dead weekend. Very rare for me to sit like I am.

 

I've relayed and delivered relays that were dropped in the j-ville yard that were for Volkswagen a couple blocks away. Live unloads that always take 2+ hrs to unload

 

Great. Maybe I should find a TS and prepare to call it a day then. I've got 3 hrs left on the 14 before I get stuck.

 

Alway, always, always, when going to cons and you don't get a pp on the way or while getting unloaded, find a place to park it. Don't rely on maybe getting something, unless cons allows on site parking. Even then facilities are limited.

 

Rest area, MO I-55 mile marker 110; parked for the night. Deliver a bunch of steel girders in the morning to a plant a few miles from here; there's another Roehl truck parked next to me with the same type of load, so I'd guess we're both going to the same place.

 

I'm learning that. I hate to just drive around and waste fuel as I waste enough as it is idling, but can't get stuck at some of these cons. I usually get a pp within an hour, but today is definitely different.

 

my next less than 15 miles total run will be about my 5th since starting last sept. it happens

just left there about noon with my 179 mile relay lol

gotta admit its gonna be a much nicer place to overnight once they finish up
