Roehl does not have 7/7 or 7/4-7/3 in all areas. Need to check if it is in your home area. Need to be within "x" number of miles from a terminal or drop yard in most cases. Check out their web site for the maps.

Slip seating is really a pain. The further you live from where you exchange the truck, the bigger the pain. I tried Roehl's 7-3/4, if wasn't fro the slip seating I would still be doing it. But in the end, dragging my stuff in and out of the truck every week was more than I could stand. Also consider what type of people you will be sharing a bed with. My other "slip seaters" were a bunch of pigs. You will notice a new ding or dent on the truck every week. The final straw was a razor blade and white powder on the slide out table.

WFX (Western Flyer Xpress) in Oklahoma City. Almost all drop and hook, and IF you have to live load it doesn't take long with the accounts they have. They have a program that is 7 on and 7 off. I'm not sure if you have to live close to the city here or not. They have lanes from Ca to N.C. , Ohio to L.A. , Mich to Tx, Tx to Ca, Ok to wherever. I worked for them for a couple of years part time and loved it. Just didn't want to go full time and be gone. Long nose Pete's, Classic Freightliners, Columbia's, 386 Pete's, 387 Pete's, and some Coronodo's. Your speed is goverened to what you make per mile, don't quote me but something like 75mph is .30cpm, 72mph is .32cpm, 70mph is .34cpm and so on down to 68mph I think. It was instituted after I left so I'm not sure. TONS of miles too. They always left me alone. I got my loads and went. Their just like anybody else. They just want you to run when your running. They always treated me good. Any questions just let me know, @ [email protected] My name is Bob
