Roehl Driver Check In

well im sitting at the ta outside st louis, heading to pacific mo in the morning, then off to the family dollar in iowa off 61, (i cant remember how to spell the city).

 

Be careful parking at a porn place or strip club. Lovely places but others even a snitch driver will call u in on it. Unless its last resort then even not a good idea. Remember our name is plastered all over that sucker. Prob won't have a problem but just in case I've heard stories

 

The porn palace is across the street. The ts is legit...it has a subway and a cat scale. I have a fuel stop at ta but only had about 30 mins left to drive...day two over hours...not me...

 

Need some advice on a gps..want one i can adjust waypoints to match roehls route. Knowing lanes and when stuff is coming up would equal know whats happening for me..prolly gunna get it on home time

 

At the TA at exit 71 on 80 in Ohio. I ended up sleeping like 16 hours last night...not sure what happened there. Pulled into the service plaza down the road and started to feel a bit ill so I came here to the TA. Going to head out early in the morning and run up to probably depere, wi.

For GPS I used to have the rand mcnally. For the most part it usually already matched roehls routing for me. That broke and I switched to a garmin dezl. But for the last several months I haven't had any GPS in my truck and I've realized that I don't need actually need it and to me it's more of a distraction than anything else. But I really liked the rand mcnally. I'm not sure if you could adjust waypoints cause I'm not to smart when it comes to electronics.

 

Ah, see, another advantage to having a junk truck, clock doesn't work, so I don't have to adjust it, and it is always right twice a day.

 

I have a RM 500, older unit but it matches our routing pretty well, you can adjust it thru waypoints if you have to but it can be a pita to do it. I got it off the RM website as a reman unit, you save a good amount buying that way and it comes with the same warrantee as a new unit. Just another tool but does make life a little easier, especially finding truckstops and rest areas on the fly.

 

I pretty much use mine as a time hack and when you get close to turns lets you know a out how far. As for upcoming lanes I just hace to hit the button to skip ahead and says left or right. Although mine is pretty old; so any new interchanges it doesn't recognize.

 

Petro in Hammond LA. Got some boudin sausages for lunch, super good. Hopefully tv will have the NASCAR race on. Early lunch appt tomorrow hopefully go in earlier we'll see. If you come through here and want boudin sausages or other hot food besides iron skillit it's located in the fuel isle store not the main one. And if you don't like spivey food I wouldn't recommend them either. Good times
