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

Cause that would require actual "work" on their part..

 

Ellenwood is extremely short staffed. As for finding the leak they do make a sniffer that can track down where the leak is coming from. I originally wanted an International, but after talking to several o/o's of Internationals I think I'll stay with the Freightshaker. More than one driver has told me nightmares about trying to get repair work done. What I get doe in a day takes them three days to a week. This Cascadia is bad enough to find parts for.

The latest for me was the arctic switch went bad. I noticed the apu was running hot and then finally it shut down. Called Roehl and then Thermo-King before I started cutting wires. Roehl and Thermo-King both said the same thing so we cut the blue wire and suddenly all the problems were solved.

 

What is the fuel surcharge and how is is calculated? How much of the Fuel surcharge does Roehl skim away???

 

theres a d.o.e chart that bases it off the current nat. fuel avg for the week, ours charges each week. right now its like .47 loaded and .37 MT we get the doe avg. based on the chart, but roehl can and does charge less and sometimes more then the nat. avg. depending on the customer so thats how they "skim" from it if any is when they charge higher then the nat. avg.

 

Got a load out the house 180 miles to auburn,al straight to marshfield to deliver like 3 miles down the road from the office, no preplan yet deliver in the morning, I have been testing the waters with some other companies, sure atleast one as called them. wonder if i get called into marshfield office tomorrow lol.. just checking around. but its all too fishy lol.. guess i will know tomorrow.

 

I'm in valdosta now going to cotton tomorrow then home to look at a Pete!!!!

 

Please elaborate,what is so fishy about a load going into Marshfield?

 

I'm up in Massachusetts 30 minutes from Boston. Delivered one load early and actually got me a nice 1500 miler for the weekend. Gonna get a day with the family Saturday. That's always good.
Good luck fishing. Would not surprise me if someone asks you about looking. But what we aren't allowed to search and compare.

 

been having lots of issues with my fm, and talked to 3 other companies that i know are running my dac and im sure has called roehl by now, so im just waiting to see if they call me in for a "meeting" tomorrow lol

 

very nice!
