Roehl Driver Check In

thats cool, a fellow driver went to the kraft dedicated fleet down here in
St Louis. they run ya pretty hard and only a 34hr reset for the weekend.

I thought about it , but enjoy my extra hometime on 7/3 7/4 .
good luck with the new dedicated run !

 

I think the load planners need new batteries in their calculators...the loads keep getting tighter windows lately...maybe its just me...

 

Its not your imagination, have been getting the same kind of plans.
Told my dsr , ya do know we are in 62 mph trks dont ya ?
He just says do the best ya can and send eta's and keep us posted.

I think they are picking up last minute extra freight from brokers, trying to keep trucks moving. I dont mind pushing the envelope, but dont be coming back and telling me my MPG needs improvement.

 

I believe this. I just dropped a 1028 mile load this morning and from the time I left the shipper to the time I dropped I had about 1.5 hours of cushion for the trip. I cruised at 60 the entire trip and if there had been any weather besides heavy sunshine, I would not have made that delivery.

 

Got a call yesterday asking me to come to marshfield to pick up a load that needed to be ran by a team out to atlantic city. Dropped off my truck and they put another driver and myself in one of the silver trainer trucks. We picked up at marshfield door and delivered in ac this morning. Now working on getting back to marshfield to pick up our trucks. Anyone know how to work the autostart on these trucks?

 

i am glad I am not the only one seeing this...hell my first load out of the house only gave me a 15 minute cushion on making my first stop....plus I had to stop for fuel...I got "coached" cause I was 17 minutes late...I told my FM I only have a 63 mph truck...plus I have to stop at all the scales cause my prepass doesn't work cause I don't have a base plate yet...

 

Awesome thanks

 

Turn the ignition on. Hold the button in the on position. Clutch in and out of gear. After about 10-15 seconds, turn off ignition. Button should be blinking and an audible beep. Push ON and the light should come on.
You are now set up! At the same time, I doubt you will need it, but you never know.

OOPS, didn't see Tree's response.
