Roehl EvoIII - statistics so far

The self proclaimed "super truckers" may laugh at those numbers,and some people wish they were getting those miles you got.Those numbers are fine in my opinion.Especially being in the evo III.Sounds like enough miles to get you a decent check,but dosnt sound like enough to make you run tired and illegal..Does every new driver get those kind of miles in evo III?

 

As long as you show you can handle it, yes. They tend to run the newbie's more for some reason. Could be the lower pay rate, or maybe something else, but I ran my tail off in EVO III as well.

 

My favorite thing about Evo 3 was something I didn't even know about until I got out of it. Then this little batch of letters started showing up on the Qualcomm. #### thing always says "APPT".

 

if your a company driver why do you have 600 miles you didn't get paid for? Do they not pay you for DH miles?

Good question... empty and loaded pay the same. The head-home miles don't pay unless you're under dispatch, but I don't see that being anywhere near 600.

The one thing that comes to mind is wrong turns and getting lost. With all the construction, it's easy to get mixed up, I did several times in Evo 3 (and likely will several more times). In fact, I got lost for three hours once AT A SHIPPER. Not on the way to the shipper, actually AT the shipper.

 

It does. Roehl claims they pay practical miles, but since the fuel has gone up, I have been getting a lot of dispatches with short miles on them.
I have Co-pilot truck which uses the PC Miler database. The same one Roehl uses in their fancy software. It shows practical miles and short miles. I will enter the route and see the difference in the two. Lately, it has been short miles. Either one will match the dispatch miles almost to the tenth of a mile. A couple of times it has saved me a mile or two which does help your out of route!

 

so i take it they aren't doing what they promised? That sucks because im currently in the military and will be retiring soon and plan on going to rohel in their honor program. Well, there is more good than bad about this company so i guess it will depend on what you really want. Hey Redwolf, how long have you been with Rohel, and do you like the company.

They didn't break any promise. they do pay practical but practical does not mean hub. It's still far better than the old standard, household mover's guide miles, that always came up shorter than actual miles. Sometimes practical is dead on with actual driven. Sometimes actual driven is less than paid practical. But more often than not you get shorted. My company switched from HHMG to Practical about 2 years ago. I still come up short every week but no-where near as bad as the old HHMG pay miles. There are companies that pay by the hub but usually the cpm is lower because of it. Probably a practical pay co versus a hub pay co would be a wash when all was said and done.
