Tale of the 7/7 (2012)

third. the fleet managers are NOT all there is at roehl transport-- they are employees just like everybody else, and they make mistakes and have bad days.

don't bail just because of a bad FM-- talk to the FOM first. if that doesn't work, i'd even go up another notch before giving up.

 

I don't think he will ever be happy. He wanted the gravy train with biscuit wheels the minute he walked in the door. He is probably calling them every ten minutes whining about something. Roehl probably can't wait until he walks.

 

i would go up the chain and see if you can get a new FM and make this work... don't jump ship too fast as that looks bad on you. other companies might think your a job hopper... just my .02

 

Good deal, hope the change works out for you. Contrary to popular driver belief most companies do want to retain drivers and will work with you to a point of you are having issues.

 

Glad you are sticking with it. I had a bad experience when they changed me from my original FM to a new one. After two months of crap after crap I had a talk with the Ops Mgr and went back to my old FM.

I really think the relationship with your FM is the most important key to success and will make or break you.

 

I miss my old fleet manager she was always so bright and cheerful to talk to...its too bad she got canned...(I am curious now why, cause I never had a problem)...although my new FM and dry as he is definately has more experience and keeps me movin when I have the hours he uses them...but i still miss my old one..

 

hope this works out for you
