Roehl Driver Check In

Hahaha well it wasnt 0 inside my truck lol more like 50 or 60. My truck doesn't seem to want to stay warm inside. When it was that cold i had my bunk heater almost 3/4 on. An the walls of my truck holy crap were they cold lol . It Just was really cold when i fueled up an was walking from my truck to the inside. Were it was still a bit chilly in the drivers lounge tho.

 

What's funny is how I checked the forums right as you posted that. Haha, hope my truck isn't to loud for ya. Those pipes can get annoying some times with the whistle.

Idk, I've been all over in Gary tonight.
9am is early?!? Oh lord! Haha, I thought my 6am was bad.

All ya got to do it look for a flatbed truck with pipes that isn't red. Really easy to spot I am going to bed now to.

 

Well the bunk heater started working again. Called maintenance to get some more things to try if blowing in the exhaust doesn't work.

Two things maybe could help you guys

.
Blow into the exhaust tube with it off a couple times. Turn it on full blast. That doesn't work try doing it with it on.

Then the other one I really didnt even think about, my fuel before wasnt treated so maybe it gel'd up in the line. He recommend a blow dryer, which I don't care one of those thing-a-majigers.

But take that and blow heat on the fuel line, probs take a bit to ungel the fuel but more then worth it.

When it's flashing, after the 5 quick flashes, count the slow ones and call maintenance. They can tell you what the code means.

 

Shame on you!! Not treating your fuel. On top of that you are a heavy idler. Of course if my bunk heater or a/c ever went out I to would be a heavy idler. My comfort is more important than some idle percentage.

 

So am I at the cons and the lumper fee is $180.00 but to get a PO# I have to actually call the lumper line. Well thats all fine and dandy but it is 0540 and nobody is there right now to help me. Good thing this is being hand unloaded because it may take that long to get this thing taken care of. Plus I saw on my BOL Genpack only pays up to $150.00 for lumpers and Roehl is supposed to cover the rest. This should be interesting.

 

Finally done at the cons. I will be heading for home next. I have a pre plan to Wintersville, OH that picks up in Elwood.

 

I m ready to EXPLODE! Tell my FM that I am not taking any more curtainside loads that have coils belly loaded. The trailers are old and not designed for 40k+ sitting dead center. I wasnt upset just tired of the Gary relay drivers not paying attention and doing what is easy!

I get back some mumble jumbo about providing solutions and don't tell me you aren't going to take a load totally missing the safety aspect. Ugh!!! I sent him back if trailer breaks in half who gets blame? DRIVER!

As I typed this, just got a response, I don't think you would have that type of catastrophic event??? Famous last words and then when it happens, who gets blamed? DRIVER!

Am I over reacting to this or should I just let it go that the deck of the curtain behind me is sagging about 3 inches and the top is out of alingment?

 

You shouldn't haul that.

 

here @ a International Dealer in Seattle WA get the truck repaired.. I have a leak on some part of the EGR system.

 

I second that (e)motion.
