The Good, The Bad, The Honest Truth of a New Roehl Lease Operator

I stay out for at least a month sometimes two and the only time I get less than 3k is if I need a reset or have mechanical issues. O exciting news I will be getting a newer truck in a few weeks its in marshfield now its the burgundy oo spec columbia 13 speed still has 100k left on factory warranty it also has Chrome stacks. I'm thrilled

 

Do they give you any extra time off for staying out two months?

 

That is a sharp truck seen it last week when I was up there getting my truck, it had just been turned back in from another driver

 

Jacob we go home when we want for as long as we want. But the bills don't stop just bc ur not running. In my humble opinion this is as close as one can get to being independent without having your own authority. And the good thing is if I break down I have a multi million dollar company that, I believe honestly wants us to succeed. And will have my back if I get in a bind. And I'm not the only o/o here that thinks this.

 

my rule of thumb for each month I stay out I stay home for 7 days 2 months =2 weeks off

 

I really can't stay out a month at a time. I'm going to try a 14/4 schedule and see how that works out. I base my estimates on a 450 mile a day average. If I could average 2300 a week I would be a very happy camper.

 

Congratulations 929! Sounds like a beauty. Hopefully you will be able to post some pics for everyone to see your new ride when you get it. Good luck with her!

I have no idea, i typically avg. about 2800 sometimes less, but when its an overall, its coming up close to that. It was my best yet, but i have never gotten a avg. under 2600 a week when figuring up 4 weeks.

 

Congrats on the new truck! I typically stay out 18 / 4 but this past week was for 6 days cause i moved to eatonton,ga.

Preacher, I have no idea why the miles are not there, i am never under 2600 a week on a avg for a entire month.

I also agree they wanna see us suceed cause it makes them a ton of money too, i enjoy it more now cause when im in need of hometime i take it, when i need a break out here i take it as a restart, run hard when i need too and take it easy when i dont.
