Roehl Driver Check In

79300lbs (the 300 might be me) but 34750 on trailer with it set on D and we're headed to IL. Opps...back to dock with 30 min left on 14. Pilot is 2.8 miles on US 23 MI so I'll scale for the third time. Every road in the area is marked 25 ton limit so there's only one way in unless you gamble....with overweight tandems & no hours....and I'm on paper logs this week until reset because of change from Qualcomm to PC gambling isn't logical.

 

U just want to spend the night in Michigan..dont u OSU...lol, prolly better than west memphis

 

Sitting in Jeffersonville, OH waiting on a relay because truck says it needs to regen but won't go into a parked regen. Have to relay load and head to shop in morn. Waiting for relay later tonight.
Week has sucked. Tues blew my left steer tire coming down the mountain on I-64 in Virginia. Was able to gently guide it to the shoulder with no problems. No jerking just a rumble strip feel on the road was the indication I had blown. 1st bill...New tire and road service. Wednesday got to Ellenwood and headed to tire shop to see if I did any other damage. Just had truck tri axle alignment done 3 weeks ago. Putting 42000 pounds down hard on the left front knocked it out. 2nd bill...Had to have a new alignment done. Good news the rim was not out of round. Just some scratches. But I had to also buy a new right steer tire (3rd bill) since it was showing a bad wear pattern. Have no idea what all this is costing since it is all through Roehl's national account. Will get bill in 6-7 weeks. Truck steers and rides real nice. Now into Volvo tomorrow so the laptop can be plugged in and see what's up with the regen. Been back just 3 weeks since taking the last 6 months off taking care of my elderly mother. If I didn't have bad luck I wouldn't have any luck at all. Ah the joys of truck ownership.

 

Ok , tested out in Gary, and all went well .Got the truck today ,and ready to go Monday. Now I just have to pick an icon for my posts.

 

Sitting at the petro in DuPont pa. I'm heading to wells Maine for a 1700 appt tomorrow. I delivered to a army base today, they searched my truck and asked a bunch of questions, it wasn't bad though, and also had a level 3 dot inspection today. I've been driving 14 months now and that was the first one, went good, just making sure my stuff was in order. He didn't look at the truck and trailer.

 

What are u driving? And congrats!

 

Petro Fremont, IN. Now driving a 2012 Prostar since Monday evening. Love it; sure beats the 2007 F-Shaker I had before. Hauled a load of steel billets from Saukville WI to Cleveland, now hauling iron pipe from Wheatland PA to Romeoville IL. Heh what a name. Stopping in Gary tomorrow to grab a shower on the way.

 

Finally met kardolmer. He is very talkative. Cool dude. We will have to go hunting sometime.
