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

Exactly!! But make sure the accountant is well versed in trucking. H&R Block is NOT a good accountant source for truckers!!
If you aren't a member of OOIDA, it's a good idea to join. Legal and business advice are free if nothing else.

Cheers!

 

Bout had my fill of the mileage or lack there of.had a whole 748 last week, netted me a -$100 this settlement.

 

I agree that truckers need to join OOIDA because they do help fight all the crap that is rolling out of Washington and the states.

 

It just keeps getting worse...done more sitting and waiting lately, don't really understand it

 

This is not encouraging. What do you guys suppose is the problem? I've experienced a similar slow down over the past 2 months as a company driver.

 

I've averaged 2500 miles a week over the last three months. Not usually long runs and I usually have two dispatch numbers on my log each day.

 

I'm beginning to wonder if I wouldn't be better off doing 400 to 600 mile runs and staying closer to home. It seems like when I have weeks like that I make more money. The more I stay in the upper midwest the more miles I end up with. It makes sense since three of Roehl's terminals are in the midwest and upper midwest.

 

I'm still averaging over 3k a week idk wats going on with yall. Week my past 3 weeks first was 2600 then 4036 then 2700 I'm in Gary right now gonna do a little run over to akron tomorrow cause I'm bout outta hours
