Truck Tour - 2020 Freightliner Cascadia - Roehl Flatbed and Specialized Fleet

[@monopoly6312]

That’s a lot of money spent on everything but it’s definitely a good investment if you’re OTR 🤝

Straight pimpin lmao. I swear this is how I would set my shit up. Not boujee. Clean there is nothing wrong for a man to be clean and organized. Good work.

Taking COPIOUS notes. I swear in my next life, I will be you. I’m a neat freak and this will definitely help me. Saving this video.

[@RedDragonTrucker]

Thank you for showing the inside... I kept searching for videos and you're all I found. Are you still with Roehl? 2023

[@davidc.w.2908]

For gloves: use the Milwaukee A3 ones. They have a thinner one for the summer and a thicker one for the winter. The black holder on the floor next to the driver’s seat is for a fire extinguisher.

[@kevpoint1987]

Great video sir! Hopefully I’ll be starting there at Roehl next month. Hope to see you there. Sorry I have to copy your setup I love it!!

[@SPatrickF1970]

I'm going to GYCDL with Roehl soon. Can you do a breakdown of how you mounted the tv?

[@grimreaper4782]

On the floor is a Thermos holder. Great video 👍🏼

[@alittlefishinwithnaz8883]

For your glove search, maybe look at the black leather gloves the army gives, look up how to break them in. After they are broke in you can use your fingers fine!

[@scorpio0281]

Love where you mention second set of sheets. I bought 2 sets for going out with trainer. Makes sense! You take them off to wash, you get back to the truck and wanna chill, hell, your bed is naked. Now what? Strip it, remake it and go do your laundry. 🤷🏻‍♂️ New subscriber by the way.

You are exactly right! And thanks for the sub!

Thanks for the tour. Much cleaner than my trainers truck! But I tested out in Conely yesterday so no just waiting on a truck assignment. Thanks for the tv mount idea. Was trying to figure out how to mount one.

[@olinjtaylor]

Congratulations and welcome to the club!

[@crystalthompson81]

Thank you so much for this vid. It really is very helpful. I'm kinda wondering how hard it is to install the tv mount. I am not the handiest of people. Btw, calling roehl. Be safe.

[@DrDre.]

Hey Bro Thanks for the video. I know ur Hella busy but when u can... I have a question.... Can u provide a link to a few things.... **Alert** It's quite a few I know...but please. Im asking because you already have them in your truck so you know the right sizes n dimensions etc...of all products. Like how you gave an example of the wrong size fridge.....a link to the one you have in truck would be great below the description in the video area. So if u can. Here are a few I saw that were interesting. So a link in the description to each exact product would be so freakin AWESOME! 1. Phone holder on the window. 2. The rubber puzzle mats on floor. 3. Those Bens at the top that you keep clothes in. 4. The Bens that the water is in. Also a link to and your recommendation for the best camera to record videos in and the best editing software. THANKS IN ADVANCE! You Rock Bro 👍💯🤍

[@olinjtaylor]

I'll have to check them out. I'm hooked on hex armor gloves at the moment.

[@brothermunoz6859]

Is the fridge holding up?? The prices on these fridges and cooler freezers are crazy. I was told you have to get a special RV truck fridges to withstand the the roads bumps and such and there like 1000 bucks

[@olinjtaylor]

It's holding up fine, don't listen to people that tell you stuff like that.

Hi Bishop, I'm from Chicago. Hope you enjoyed your weekend here. Interesting vid. Connected to it, as I'm considering Roehl as a company to apply to for CDL-A training. Looking forward to more of your content. Safe journeys.

[@olinjtaylor]

Thank ya. I'll have another one out this week

[@5kaykay5803]

I just go my truck the other day. I think you've got me motivated to do the same! My securments are all over the place and don't even get me started on the steel tarps. I love how you placed them virtually. I'm on a reset myself, so I may have time for some spring cleaning.🤔 Nice editing btw!

[@olinjtaylor]

Hell yes! Congratulations. It's so much better in your own truck. Freightliner or international? I'm 4 hours into my ride taking a break at the moment.

Studying my permit right now What’s the next step after I get my permit

[@DrDre.]

Hey Bro.. Appreciate Ur Vidz! ❤ How long ago did u drive for Roehl? It's July 2021 at the moment...I wanted to know Do they Allow TV/Refrigerator/Mirowaves. Sumone told me they don't allow set ups like urz anymore. Can u enlighten.

[@olinjtaylor]

That someone was wrong 😆 They allow it. I just swapped my microwave out for a air fryer/oven/microwave combo a few months ago

[@DrDre.]

@@olinjtaylor Oh u still wit Roehl? I thought u left! Are u a company or Owner Op? Shid bro share the link wit a brotha to that combo set. How you like the set? Also How you power all that shit. Cause sumone said they give u sum kinda batt interverter that only runs 2hrs then shuts off for 10hrs. So how you run a fridge? Sorry for all the questions. I appreciate yo feedback

[@olinjtaylor]

@@DrDre. they're wrong again 😆 The truck's computer monitors the batteries and will recharge them if needed. It powers everything no problem...I do have to start the truck when using my Keurig. I got the fridge from Lowes, the tv from amazon and the microwave combo from Walmart.

[@DrDre.]

U Da Man. Thanks bro

[@HLHenderson1970]

After you complete your phase with the trainer are you assigned a truck, and able to drive it to your residence? Or are you required to leave it at a terminal and come get it when you have a load to pick up? The reason I ask is I live in Clarksville Tennessee and the closest terminal for me is Conley Georgia

[@olinjtaylor]

If one is available, you'll get to drive it home after your trainer drops you off and you test out. Otherwise you'll have to wait until they find you one. You get a few days off once you complete your otr training. You may even get flown to a different terminal or part of the country to pick it up

[@olinjtaylor]

The only reason you would have to park it at a terminal is if you live within 50 miles of one. So you're in the clear.

[@natashaarango1304]

Hey I am also looking to get into Roehl. A big concern that I have is and wanted to ask some experienced drivers is when do have time to exercise?

[@Andy.blank1999]

So I have a question I’m going to roehl here soon to get my class a and I wanna do flatbed but also wanna do reefer but I have one question when it comes to flat bed do you have to help unload ?

[@olinjtaylor]

Nope

[@christianstevens6479]

How long was the whole process are you there from the time you hired on to the time you were driving alone

[@davidjaeger7850]

Thanks for the time and work you put into this informative video.

[@SimsWithKopal]

I'm working to getting on with Roehl!

[@TheRealestMferOnYoutube]

Where do you keep your tampons?

[@KinJames02]

So is it not true that Roehl doesn't allow microwaves, tv, and refrigerators in the trucks? Or did you have to have special permission, or?? Also heard that you can only run them for 2hrs before having to wait 10hrs to use agian.. a lot of rumors, just trying to get the truth..

[@olinjtaylor]

That's the weirdest thing I've ever heard, lol. You can have all that in the truck and don't need permission. Running them all day if you want.

[@KinJames02]

@@olinjtaylor I thought it sounded really weird, but when I looked it up online that was some of the things they stated.. It didn't make sense, so I wanted to ask and make sure.. lol thanks for the feed back!

[@kzero4279]

How did you mount the tv?

[@beingaja]

You’re hilarious. I hope my experience otr is as good as yours.

[@olinjtaylor]

Thanks man! I hope so too, gotta make the best of it!

I've got another video on the tv mount too...I figured people would want to see that

The cupholder on the floor holds a Thermos

[@pugmalley]

Definitely more of a gimmick thing. My thoughts are it is probably in the way.

[@engage4110]

Is lumber the only thing they hual at Roehl ?

[@olinjtaylor]

Lumber, sheet rock, insulation and coils. Tractors if you're RGN

[@DjCushBmore]

Loved it!!!

[@herbertanderson2319]

Hey bud ? Great videos by the way!! I have previous 1 year OTR experience with Navajo Express. Is Roehl Transportation a good company ? They been trying so hard to hire me bud!!

[@olinjtaylor]

So far, so good on my end!

[@Don-nl1ec]

Really cool info - thanks for sharing!

[@colinr6912]

Hey Taylor that black thing on the floor is a cup holder. For bigger twist thermos’s you can put em in there and it’ll act as a tumbler. (I seen someone explain that on a different video of the cascadia)

[@olinjtaylor]

Makes complete sense now, thanks!

[@davidc.w.2908]

It is not a cup holder! It is a holder for a fire extinguisher. Roehl moves the extinguisher to a side compartment, but the truck has the fire extinguisher in that spot by default.

[@Alanb6]

I miss my days when I was a roehl driver

[@olinjtaylor]

Come back and use my driver code 😆😆😆

When u buy gloves buy about 3 pair at a time. None of them last forever. At least in my experience

[@olinjtaylor]

Yeah I'm starting to realize that...good advice!

[@HLHenderson1970]

Does a person get to choose whether or not they want to do national, or regional? I would rather stick to the south east A.k.a. Tennessee Georgia South Carolina Florida Alabama, but I know some companies won’t let you, how is Roehl with this?

[@olinjtaylor]

You can always ask for the regional. I'm pretty sure they're hiring for that now anyway.

[@genemiille1811]

Iron clad gloves work for me

[@db9518]

Are you required to purchase the tarps and straps?

Nope! They provide everything you need
