Taking the truck home?

For Roehl if you live within 50 miles of a terminal you have to park your truck at the terminal unless you have prior approval from your fleet manager to park it at home.

 

So if you live way over 50 miles from a terminal, like say a few hundred miles, or a few thousand, you can take the truck home?

 

wow, they must not need drivers, if you have to leave trk at terminal no exceptions. When I was regional I took trk home
all the tjme, mind you that was two years ago. Maybe their policy changed, but they sure are limiting their possibilities
on perspective drivers.

 

My tractor is currently parked outside my kitchen door. I work national flat, so the truck doesn't have to be available to anybody else. I live 125 miles from the Mogadore yard, and so I take the thing home every time I go off duty.

Parking at the house is more secure for me than elsewhere, but I have arrangements with folks who live in town that let me park on their land if the snow is too deep out where I live.

It also lets me check in over the Qualcomm, so I don't have to use any telephone time.

 

I had a feeling that recruiter was feeding that guy a line.

 

Hanadarko how was thanksgiving? Hope all is going well with you
and your family, I made it home friday nite! cool huh.

 

Something was crossed up, obviously. I went national with Roehl specifically so I could take the truck home, which was how it was presented to me. I don't have multiple (working) vehicles and can't leave the family without a car for weeks at a time while it's parked in a drop yard.

Operations wants to know where the location is, that it is secure, that I have permission to park there, and that I use all the locks. The DSRs probably have some discretion on it, as well.

 

I really don't know what to think about it. It was over a year ago when I spoke with her and I can't remember her name. But she was very adamant about it , truck had to stay at terminal. Go figure.

 

I take my truck home. there have never been any problems as long as I kee it locked up
