Shame on Roehl Transport!

[Mountainman7]

Roehl Transport expects their Northeast Regional company drivers to scrub and wash off the winter grime off of their Roehl tractors without pay, or without a truck wash reimbursement on their home time. We don't have a Northeast terminal. The Roehl wash bays are in Wisconsin and Indiana and we rarely go by that way so we need to get them washed locally to get all the winter dirt and grime off of the tractors. We were told we have to do it and they won't reimburse a driver the expensive cost of a truck wash. So, if you see a filthy Roehl tractor in the Northeast, it is because the driver does not believe in slavery. Anyone have a big ladder, a safety harness and a 10 foot pole he can lend to the Northeast Regional Roehl drivers for scrubbing down Roehl assets on their precious home time?

Who climbs up on a truck to wash it.

My boss is a prick and even makes me hand wax it. Had to spend $1900 last year cleaning the prinks truck.

Not sure I would bitch about it on the internet but I am not paying for a truck wash either. Screw leave the salt on until the bitch rusts into the ground.

Yep, and then later a new Owner Operator is going to feel all special because he got a great deal on a "fleet maintained" truck.

Only to find out it is corroded from top to bottom, LOL.

In 2007 they gave me a brand new truck. It had 225 miles on it, just from one of the mechanics bobtailing it up from the dealer in Des Moines.

Halfway through the very first winter the paint on the frame was already showing rusts on sharp corners like on bolts & stuff. By the end of the first winter there was some bubbling and bare, rusted steel exposed on those bolts.

Just pull in to a streaking beacon and tell them TMC just bought Roehl.

And charge it to their account.

Presto,you have a clean truck....lol

 

[Tazz]

Maybe so. But my sweat costs money, and my wallet does not cover maintenance costs for other people's equipment.

 

[Bored Insane]

I would not wash either. I kept the used truck that was assigned to me pretty clean inside and out, but since Swift screwed me on the wash, I won't wash it even if it's free, it take my time.

i do not blame you ONE BIT..(o/p)

we have white painted trucks.

we have had them for about 4 years now..??

they are Penske lease trucks, and as such, get washed for free but ONLY WHEN they go in for a PM service.

i could have a flat tire, and getting it fixed, and the wash bay will be open...but noooooo...it's not in for service......

screw any company that does not have an account at a truck wash place, or reimburses at the very least 1 washing per month at an hourly rate for say 2 hours.....

If you've got time to lean you've got time to clean.

I had no idea Roehl had a NE regional end.

I remember them in cabovers long after everyone else had given up on them.
