Going up to Memphis with a load of beer. Then back up to Minnesota. Also got word we are going back to Freightliner next year.
-
Home until Tuesday.
Turkey day. -
Out of the house with a pickup in Randleman going to Burnsville MN. Upholstery so should be light.
Lonesome, Vic Firth and Speed_Drums Thank this. -
Lakeville MN to Richland WA.
Didn't have to deliver the last load. They wanted it dropped on the yard so I could grab this one. I'm sure the weather will be just lovely. -
I hit the yard to drop and hook for my Washington run. They put the brakes on me because my inspection expired on the 1st. Had an air leak and a small crack in the windshield on the passenger side. Also had a winter PM due. Volvo of course didn't have the fitting to fix the air leak so I had to wait an extra day. They took the Washington off of me so now I'm headed to Texas.

Better weather TX way anyways!

Hi smurf-316,
Thanks so much for creating and updating this thread. I did my training and drove for Roehl for about 3 1/2 years. They were nice people, but I eventually quit because I was having trouble with a bad hip and also because I was being sent out to the northeast part of the country a lot more than I would have liked.
For about the last 4 years, I've been driving a city bus and getting home every night. That part of the job is nice, but the people I pick up and drop off are some of the most ignorant, rude people in the entire city and it has gotten very old. I got spit on by a Somali teenager a while back and that was about the last straw.
Anyway, your experience with SAV Express sounds like what would have been an absolute dream job back when I was driving. I don't know if I will get back into it, but I live in Minnesota and your thread has really gotten me thinking.
Probably the big question I would have for you is, do you think they would consider hiring me after having been out of a truck for about 5 years, or would I have to go back to Roehl or somewhere like that for 6 months to a year before SAV would consider me? My driving record is perfect and I've never had any kind of issue with the law or anything like that.
Thanks in advance for your response, and again, thank you so much for keeping this thread going. Stay safe out there! -

My Washington load got canceled because of all the crap wrong with my truck. However all that was fixed so I ran on down to Texas and now going up with a load to Michigan.
