    That sucks, dude. Are you looking to jump ship? I have been looking at another company, but not because of Roehl; just looking for something different. I talked to Dale and Steve the other day.

    how are they doing? they were my teachers, mostly Steve. About jumping overboard nnnoooo not really i'll give it a yr. but they stop u # .34 mile for a while after a yr. and I know i can get .40 a mile from one well known comp. and new kenworth. All Roehls fraightshakers break down everyone that I spoke with there a/c went out several times, and along with other things. I love my International its runs awsome nutn wrong with it, 433,788 miles on it. When they tell me to give it up im saying nope!

    Yeah, we were in the same class. I have a Freightliner, haven't had any problems yet. Just got an APU too. I've been getting decent miles, but as always, I am on salary. All of my DSRs have been cool too. I am just looking to make a little more money at this point. I'm just going to hang out for a few more months and get my experience level where it needs to be.

    Could be worse. It could be Gary. At least in Marshfield you don't have to worry about being shot/stabbed/mugged/raped/murdered if you leave the terminal.

    Ewww. I am getting to the point I hate coming up here. They just bounce me around saving relays. I end up with three loads a day, every couple days. Drop one, grab a relay and drop that one, then grab another one before I run out of hours.
