Roehl Transport -- my story

So how much does it suck to put the tarps on and having to check the straps evert two hours/100 miles

 

Tarps aren't too bad, you usually have a forklift driver that can put the tarps on the top of the load. Hardest part is climbing up there and spreading it out in wind and rain. Its every 3 hours or 150 miles which ain't too bad either.

The Roehl way is within the first 25 miles after receiving the load then every 150 miles or 2hrs after. As far the tarping goes so far either the forklift operator has put them on top of the load or at one place they had a "tarp machine" basically a winch with clips to to drag the tarp(s) over the load.

 

what about taking it off? Is there a forklift at the drop off site?

 

I just drag my tarps off from the ground.
Not too hard

Well I passed my test and am now waiting for a ride to Marshfield to pick up my truck

 

Heck yeah man congrats. If the truck is used you can ask the shop to clean it out and detail it for you. In marshfield they usually have no problem doing that for new drivers.

From what have heard, whenever you pick up a truck there it is nice and clean. Most likely will be a late model ProStar which I like.
