Roehl Driver Check In

I believe so. I remember seeing that hazmat sticker.



Well this load going to NC has gone down hill fast. I picked this load up as a relay in Appleton. I saw the driver bring it in (local guy). Well I hooked and booked down 41 to the closest rest stop to inspect the load. Everything was ok, load was good to roll again. Figured I'd shut down at the TA at exit 1A between WI / IL (94). Well I go to take a look at a strap that looked alittle loose to see the entire structure built to support these pipes is starting to collapse.

I'm about 148 miles from where I picked this up as a relay. And it's so bad I don't feel safe driving with it. Called my FM and since bob Peterson wasn't in I got put through to maintenance.

Maint got a tow company to come out and take a look. He looked then called a carpenter to come out after he left. Guy came and instantly said it was horrible the way it was built. So now I have two cranes coming out tomorrow and day workers to fix this problem.

I did everything in my power to ensure this load was safe. 17 straps in good places so the local driver put them in the same places I would of. None over the wood to cause damage. I don't know what I could of did differently.

 

Heh Roehl drivers...can any of you tell me if you drive for the National dry van fleet, what percent of your loads are no-touch freight? How often do you have to fingerprint a load and what's been your worst case driver load/unload situation?

 

100% never have touched freight in my 8 months. Thought of unloading one time for extra money but u have to take it out of the trailer, break down the pallet in a certain way. I passed both times had lumpers do it and Roehl paid for it.

 

Sounds good to me...sign me up!!

 

Man I thought I had it bad sometimes......who is your FM? Sounds like you need a new one. How did they not know you are 7/7? I tried to get a new one once but I guess Gary doesn't believe in that. They tried to give me some story about my FM was the only one that ran the hometime fleet drivers. So I guess they don't believe in letting a Driver change terminals to get a new one either.

 

I don't like this at all
