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

I agree if you want to own a truck, go to a bank and borrow the money and buy a truck... That is the best way.

 

No age limit, Sni pretty much hired L/S people to develope the choice board and the programs are nearly identical, just no brokers with the sni freight.

 

Hows it going with you guys? Myself only got 980 miles last week, ran tuesday and wednesday, then picked up load that delivered saturday, sucked for this weeks check but sitting on 1800 over the weekend, for next week

 

Got 2300 last week But I could have had 28 but customer on Friday wouldn't fax my paperwork, deliver in menomonie tomorrow mrn ill have 2000 for this week. Going home Thursday been out since 12th of last month, but been running 2800-3100 a week consistently

 

Thats pretty good miles. Too bad about the customer that wouldn't fax. I used to run into that alot, then I got a small scaner, and emailed my stuff in to avoid that. Enjoy your time at home.

 

I'll have 32 this week be home friday, picking up in ladysmith, wi tomorrow going to ga

 

Haha well guess I was wrong!

 

Should be heading home tomorrow. I'm at that point that I can go so far then shut down till the next day after I get more hours. I've hauled two hazmat loads, both from the same place and it really irritates me that they don't pay anything extra for hazmat. It was flammable liquid in the large totes, so not only was it a hazmat load it was like hauling a tanker load as well. All that and I get paid the same as a load of paper towels. Believe me it took a lot more care and skill than an ordinary dry load.

 

I agree Preacher I think they should through a couple more cents per mile your way when you pull hazmat. There are some companies that pay you a penny a mile more if you just have the endorsement. They should do something. Not to mention an across the board raise is about due to. It has been a long time since a pay raise.
