Roehl Driver Check In

Picked up relay in Oak Creek, at the Pilot, back to PA.

 

Don't know where I left off but went back to fl from la, then to Bama, back to la tomorrow heading to va. Home after that, then shortly after that a swimming pool or beach. Had to take a new 63 series trl to a mechanic shop in Pennington al to get patched. Whoever had it dinged the nose really well causing it to show daylight in which in van no daylight can be seen anywhere inside the trl. The roof was patched too. Ech #### just erks me, beat up 61 or 65's. always has to be the nice trls. I guess training company it's like that, newer model trucks with bent fairings or damage too makes me think also. Small gas station there was having a crawfish and shrimp broil I was sad to leave. Chunky wkend load had to go. Running recap as well so tomorrow will be a short day and hammer the miles out Sunday for Monday delivery.

 

I know what you mean coop, this prostar im in for this 14, the fairings are beat up and a few things are broke inside the cab, and its a 2012, I've had a few 63s with damage too, had a 63 one time and it dog tracked bad to the right. Dang crazy.

 

I don't know if I am too late but in training I used a cobra, Rand, and a garmin. I like the cobra the best because the routing is just a good as the others guys but you get soo much more. ETA's on next TS, weigh stations, rest stops. It even tells you your mm location if you don't pay attention. As far as way points go you need a lap top with trips and streets, I am not a 100% you can do that but I fairly sure you can and it does have truck settings. Good luck

 

So went so Mom's brand in Pa, then to DC area and then to McCoole MD(McCooly is how its said) and routing took me up US 50 for some reason. Ever wanted to take your sports car on winding steep (9% grades), 300 ft +drop off. thought the heart of Virginia/west Virginia and Appalachia it self type scenic route? well me too but instead of a sports car I took a freightliner instead. I know some of you are going "i've been that way its not so bad", although I was empty which is good because there is a 30T bridge, I've never driven in Mountains before this week and it snow most of the time. It didn't snow on this trip untill I got loaded, pull up and check in, no snow. Hook up and enter in the QC info look up and its a mountain winter storm. That aint the whole story there was more that I won't share, routing won't like it maybe. Have a good trip

 

Share, share, share!!!! We want the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but your version of the truth!
