Roehl Driver Check In

Still in Appleton getting unloaded, been 3 hours so far.

 

Parked at coins (saco, me) for a) 0200 delivery...ahhhh must be time for some sun. i need to work my trucker tan off and get rt arm brown.

 

Sitting at T/A xt 42 on I-90 IL.

 

Lmao.

Any one else get a chuckle out of this? Yes, let's follow my GPS.... by all means the customer won't provide decent directions into their facility and instead of calling my FM let me chance it. Smart move. No really, all routing should be gone over with your FM if you do not understand it. Never take anything you are not sure about. New Jersey, New York, that entire Northeast section of the country should be payed close attention to in your routing. If you are not smart enough to figure that out, when in orientation they tell you the north east is no joke then you should probably find a different career path. This is trucking, common sense is a requirement. If you don't have it, you know where the door handle it.

Roehl is a outstanding company.

 

3 stop delivery this morning, stop 1 dragged their feet and went on break with 3 bundles left to remove. Stop 2 was 70 miles away through some fun grades on backroads. 8%-11% grades. Stop 3 apparently only receives until 1300 so there was no way I was making that since i left stop 2 at 1400. Good times.

Now im 20 miles from stop 3 for 0700 tomorrow. Time to relax.

 

Still sitting in Marshfield waiting for a load (flatbed); good times. But can't create freight out of thin air I suppose.

 

Were you up there all weekend? My buddy was up there hanging out.

 

Not all weekend; mid-day Saturday until Sunday evening was an hour away at my cabin (wife came to pick me up). Yesterday I took a couple hours to go out to the range and practice close-quarters backing with a spread-axle. FM says still slow yet today though. At least there's the internet

Extra note: Netflix is taking South Park off of instant view after 5/29, so I'm stuffing myself with episodes while I still can

 

Delivered in Huron SD this morning 5 hour drive, than get told to head back to the cities and maybe a load. So I decided to drive back the way i went out there which conviently goes by my house. Get a load assigment which is a relay load thats sitting in the st paul drop yard. I dont have the hours to get it tonight so I am at home till my 10 hour break is up yay.

Hmm...flatbed seems slow this week, ok. This poor 'van' drivers gone 3,000+ miles with a 34 on Sun-Mon. Just got Thur AM appt moved to Wed noon as I'm only 400 miles away and leaving at 3am. FM keeps asking for earliest ETA as they have more for me. Busy as a bee...FYI lost 30 lbs driving a 'van' in 3 months as well. Van's gggrreeAT! Ha
