Roehl Driver Check In

Loves x88 I-44 in MO.

 

Atlanta was full of Easter & Spring Break traffic. 5 hours on 75 & 285. Why do drivers there not understand the meaning of 'merge'! A dozen drivers try sneaking by (at 3 mph) when I'm already nosing the tractor into their lane?! Love's N on 75.

 

Same at 40/75 merge in Knoxville, and 40/81.

 

Sitting home and smiling, found out they sold my tractor, launch on Tuesday and should be headed for Marshfield. I feel sorry for whoever bought this thing.

 

Will u be pissed if you get another just like it? Lol

 

Sittin bobtailed at a walmart in waverly ia, no mt trailers at the cons so I have to wait till 0600 for the receiving crew to arrive and unload the trailer I took them. Pickup in davenport ia at nestle and heading to Indianapolis to target dc

 

That thought crossed my mind, I doubt it is possible, but if so I will just refuse the truck, this one I picked up in Rhode Island so it would have been a little hard to tell them find me another one LOL.

 

I'm at home now for Easter. Did not ask for it, was just sent there, I suppose this is part of phase 3. ended in sturgis, took my mt to Grap and parked it. I offered to grab something but apparently the planners had nothing available that was suitable. I stopped at Battle Creek Pilot for a needed shower and to unwind, picked up a cb and installed it too. Was directed to be available 0700 on Monday so it appears they want to keep me after my first real trip out (just short of two weeks). Had a lot of fun, learned a lot, and am adjusting. LMAO driving my friends SUV home, had to adjust my ways a little to the faster speed and lack of a trailer.

 

I had to be a little more aggressive on two occasions to obtain necessary exits in both Dallas and Louisville. City Traffic, a lot different than being on the open road. I am learning that some people understand and give room but then other drivers are just clueless. I am just keeping my safe following distance and using my mirrors and signals and the paths have been cleared or clear up.

I was stuck in a 3 hr. lineup on I-40 in Arkansas twice last week for bridge construction and an accident. First trip headed WB had a commercial driver pulling in and out of the single line of back up traffic...seriously like he was gonna get somewhere faster? LOL, I only really noticed him from the back of his van trailer but he had a taillight out and a top marker light out too, then he threw some trash out on the highway. I wasn't too impressed with this guy.

 

Dayton OH TA I-70 x10. I could've got rid of this relay but I'm not staying at that drop yard over night nor dropping and driving another 20 miles to crappy p-lot in Franklin. Not due til tomorrow anyway, tomorrow I may stay there if nothing for Sunday comes up. Not doing the crappy drop yard deal anymore. No toliet I don't stay there.
