Roehl Driver Check In

i was just out in spokane last week, was fairly nervous about it with that storm coming but i managed to time it well and was parked n sleeping during the snow.

dispatch asked if i had chains (cables) which i did from an earlier run to denver area. he said good, i told him i have them but have only a vague idea of how to use them. he said basically if ya need chains on, park. that meshed well with what other drivers told me.

 

What lumber yard? when i was picking up at one out there the owner of the place made sure the 6 trucks there were loaded within 2 hours. I was stoked how quick it went.

 

Sitting in OK. headed for St Paul, I see I am not the only one that is not going to be home when due. They are supposed to be looking to relay off me and head me toward home. Nice light load, 1000+ miles at 7k on the deck. As far as office people reading these threads I know for a fact they do, I have been called by my screenname more than once at terminals.

 

Picked up 2 military vehicles as relay in Gary going to Baltimore. Not sure if this my going home load or not...

Now at the easternmost service plaza on the Ohio turnpike.

 

By the way if any flatbedders need to load or deliver at Great Lakes (Atlas uses them for warehousing) in Chicago on Torrence be prepared for a confusing detour. The detour is fairly well marked but quite a few twists and turns to get through it. Also add ~10 min to your ETA.

 

The other Roehl driver in front of you is a friend of mine from orientation. Small little world we got here...

 

edit nevermind your in ohio
