Roehl Driver Check In

Alright I am in MT Sterling KY...Pissed off at Roehl right now...I was doing the right thing and they F U C K E D me...they saddled me with a load going to VA...told them No I need to be home saturday...they said they would relay...well after bothering them every hour I finally got it relayed to a van driver and I have his load delivering in my current location...the problem...I have 9 Hours left of my 70...and don't recap til tomorrow night (I think) and I am 11 hours from home in the wrong direction.....They tried sending me to dalton GA AFTER this delivered to p/u and deliver to waukesha...I said Nope not doing it..I want to go home...I am thinking about driving OVER my 11 to make it to Marshfield Saturday....screw it Saturday is my last day...even if I have to turn it in in Gary.... and find a ride to Tomah...

I am with Notez Roehls trying hard to be one of the big guys...and is starting to act like one with its drivers.....so now after all of this I am now on the side of Get your experience and Get out...I am extremely unhappy....

 

I'm all set to turn in the truck at Gary tomorrow. Was originally told "they'd look into it." I wasn't sure what that meant since its ultimately my decision, not theirs. Anyway, they came through and sent me a preplan that gets me back to Gary tomorrow afternoon.

 

I was in Appleton last nite, two down from Notez, but it was late, like 10pm when I got there, thought I was the reefer board LOL. I will be here a while longer, till a find the right company to go to, unless they try to keep me out past next Tuesday, HAVE to be home, daughter FINALLY getting married. Last time I drove in the 90's my wife picked me up in Detriot when that company told me I had to cancel vacation because it no longer worked well for them. I like my FM, never micro manages, compliments good work, and apologizes for office errors, it is just the messed up loads, I am under another one now. I guess it is a company wide issue from what you guys are saying, and I agree, I thought the problem seemed like trying to grow too big too fast. Good luck to everyone leaving, I will be following shortly.

 

Mic, did I ever tell you how since I started at my new job we've improved by 17% on our fatigued driving score? Yeah, that's pretty awesome, and new truck galore. Forget where ever you're going and swing down my way it's the greatest. Worried about mirco-managing? We've identified one of our weakness as "manager not managing", so no need to worry about that! Plus we're not so strict on when you violate the HOS, we recognize that stuff happens. C'mon you know you know you want to do it! Well actually I was talking to another company about their transition to eLogs and they're going to offer anyone who switches in the first 30 days $1000. So you should look into that company, they must be swimming in it.

 

Mel you cant tempt me with the darkside lol....

 

I don't know, we're pretty awesome. Trust me, it's not like you can prove that I've lied to you....yet. Not to mention, we have enormous potential. We've got like enough potential that we equal the potential energy of an atomic bomb. I'm not sure how much that is, but it sounds like a lot. So getting to my point, wouldn't you rather be the bomb then ground the it destroys? I bet you would.

 

wow you sound like a recruiter lol

 

Nope I'm just a lowly safety guy, I don't even have a job title...yet I manage people. People with much more experience than me. I attribute my success to what I learned at Roehl. Mostly what to do, but there were a few things I learned not to do. Granted if I were at a carrier that had more structure I'm sure some of the things I've said and or done may have landed me in hot water, but it's a comfortable environment where you can speak your mind. There are days I hate it, and days I don't it.....so again I've forgotten what I was typing, but when you stop by let me know and I'll get you a hat or a pen or something.

 

cool i like swag-......lol
