Roehl Driver Check In

Yep, met Chris too. And I lost on "where in the world is Treefork" as I was upstairs when he came through. Next time Treefork!

 

At the TA in Dexter, MI. I have 0900 appt in the morning but I will definetly be trying to get in early because I have to go to Sysco and we all know how long you can be there waiting to get unloaded.

 

I try to do the same thing...LOL!

I'm in York, PA tonight sleeping at the shipper. Drove 286 miles today. 154 of which was used to find an MT...LOL!

 

I passed someone 8968 or something near Dickeyville, WI tonight. So if that was you, nice tarp job.

 

got to my drop in NC...on the way I got a call about a hot load and If I could pick it up 30 miles from my drop...and delivared in mississippi on saturday...said I could do it no worries as long as I could get loaded tonight...FM said no worries they will be waiting for me...so I get there and the shipper is waiting...I go in and the shipping manager says there is a problem..they don't know what to load me with since the manifest is messed up..along with 12 others.....so long story short..didn't get loaded and the load got canceled...guess it wasn't so "hot" and now I am sitting in a rest area along 77 cause the Wilco was full and I was short on time...FML I really need to get a #### shower..and I keep striking out...

 

Well I got my new truck last night. Had fun B.S'ing with Chris and TheTank in Gary last night. Nice running into Treefork too. 7516 is the new rig. Same as the old one. 07 Freightshaker. lol. Actually has a few more miles than 4444 but runs a bit smoother. Its kind of banged up a bit but 4444 had some history so I have heard.

I am at my favorite Petro in Portage tonight. Dropping off in Plover in the am. Grabbing some vittles and then off to bed. Short day but tired.

Stay safe all!!!

 

I very much dislike freightliners. The loaner I was put in.. no insulation at all. I keep getting woken up by trucks leaving and entering the rest area.. while in my international 9400i.. I hear nothing from the outside unless it's a idling truck next to me.. then again.. no apu, broken bunk heater.. I idle my truck 50% of the time for a couple of hours so I can't hear anything over that.

Didn't have a good trip out this time. Ended up having to use a loaner for a few days which I will NEVER EVER do again. 3 Loaners later I got one that was legal to drive. You know I keep good faith and great attitude when I'm at work but I'll tell you what I was almost at my breaking point. All I wanted was my truck back the whole time I was driving my loaner. So what I finally got my truck back I found a few things maintenance didn't take care of.. But you know what.. F it. I'm just rolling in my pride and joy until those wheels fall off.

Just tipped 700k.

 

Saw one of yins sitting at the weigh station in the QEW up in the Northland. Hope he was lubed up... lol
