Roehl Reefer Fleet

My last week here at Roehl...picking up Cheese and heading to southern Ohio...groovy...

 

There already is a great thread about my new Co...

I am doing the same rotation that I did when I started reefer...got a preplan to pick up in lebanon tomorrow and relay to Gary by the 7th @ 1145....485 miles...and they don't think I can do it in a day...funny thing is my P/U isn't til 2 PM tomorrow...but my current load delivers @06 am tomorrow...talk about sitting...but its the nature of the beast...

 

Roehl has it seems nothing but lives on both ends in Reefer (unless its a relay)...but thats the nature of the beast...only so much fuel in the tanks on the units so they can't sit for days without attention....

 

Heres the biggest reason I am leaving....I had another 1600 mile week last week....my miles were starting to fall on the van side as well...but the reefer side nose dived quick...they have enough reefer freight...they just don't know how to plan reefer freight...its a different animal than van or flat...it can't sit for the most part.....and its mostly JIT...and they give you so much time on these loads its crazy....
The company I am going to pays percentage...(advantage me)...so it doesn't matter if I only get 1600 miles in a week just as long as i get good paying loads....also pay detention...oh and they don't handhold and babysit...
