You will probably never know since even if I have time to finish it, I wouldn't know what to do with it. Right now writing is the only thing to bring me sanity. Thanks again

I you have been ghost writing then what I want to know is why did you make it sound like Roehl Transport was one of the companies to avoid flat bedding for? I really take offense when someone really makes a good company sound like one to avoid especially new comers to the trucking profession. I think you owe Roehl a big apology.

Sorry to hijack the thread, but...
I totally disagree with you soladad. Roehl sucks, that's my opinion. I'm a newer driver only been driving 1 year and now I'm making .41 cents per mile which is roehl's top pay for van. I would have to work at roehl for 7 years to get that! I worked for them my first year and almost lost my house and cars. I worked damn hard too. Roehl claimed I'd be out for 11 days and home for 3, well in reality it was 14-18 out and 2 1/4 off, not to mention the times my hometime was interupted because they wanted me to go meet one of their drivers at a truckstop to take his load because he was "out of hours". I don't know who these people are or what their motivation is for saying that roehl is such a great company to work for. :roll: My dispatcher who was out of Gary, IN never answered his phone, ever. And was a complete jagoff! Thankfully he got fired. My next dispatcher damn near always answered his phone but was totally immature and threw temper tantrums. :roll: The only good, make that excellent dispatcher I had used to be a driver. I had 3 dispatchers in a little under a year. I was talking to one of my fellow Crete drivers and he asked me what was up with roehl's recruiters. He called them to see if he could get on with roehl's 7/7 (wanted to semi-retire) and the recruiter asked him "how long you been driving and how many accidents and tickets?" the Crete driver ssaid "17 years no tickets or accidents" the roehl recruiter replied "well give me your social and I'll pull your DAC and find out for myself, I know how you guys are...". Needless to say the driver told him to go f* himself. Let me also tell you about this guy named Troy in Marshfield,WI he would make sexist comments toward females in my orientation class and make fun of a guy who was overweight. Totally unprofessional. Does this sound like a company you'd wanna work for? Not me. Heck even the guy who owns www.roehldriver.com went to drive for Crete LOL :lol: http://www.roehldriver.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=281 |
