    I do not know the law for N.D., but I suspect that N.D. is a "right to work state" and if so, no matter how you quit or why, you are still entitled to your pay. You can go to Small Claim court and recover what is owed to you without too much hassle and probably once you file the case with the clerk of court, Magnum will probably send you the money.

    Just so happen I am a rookie. But I found a company that pays more and I'm home every day with my daughter. Never had a major problem driving for them and I did give notice before I quit. OTR just wasn't right for me. I respect the drivers over at magnum, I met some nice guys who taught me alot. My problem is with the management.

    I am 62 years old been working since I was 13
    and this is one indisputable fact
    every problem I have ever had in my life
    in some way shape or form I was part of


    if you didn't make enough at Magnum with the pay scale they offer
    it is all how you use or abuse your hours
    drivers that think it is a dispatchers problem to find them loads that fit into their concept of how to use
    14 hours invariably have trouble with management

    It's funny you mention company's not pandering to whiney ### drivers.

    Went through orientation with a company in GA last month. The company pulls reefer and hauls chicken...a lot. Anyway guy I went through orientation with started making demands as soon as we were done with physicals. I don't run overnights, I don't like waiting at grocery warehouses, I don't do anything east of Ohio or Chicago. The list just went on. Now this is a guy with 13 years OTR, he was either that clueless about reefer operations thought his ####e didn't stink.

    So we finally get to truck assignments, he gets assigned a 2013 Pete 587. Basically tells them to shove it, I want one of the 2016 Kenworth T680's sitting on the yard. The guy says all right, let me talk to the VP of operations (the owners husband). He comes back downstairs and says here ya go, and hands him a voucher for a Greyhound. Guy tries to back pedal, and the company says nope, don't want you or your attitude.

    Did I mention the guy lived in Reno?

    Dude, next time you quit, try this route, send in a faxed resignation giving two weeks notice, remind dispatch as you are getting closer that you are nearing the end of your 2 weeks notice and that the truck needs to get back to the terminal. Have someone sign off on the truck then go home. It's worked fine for me the 6 times in 35 years I've left a company. Just sayin.

    Let's see, so you took it upon yourself to decide you were going to deadhead 6.5 hours back to the yard and don't understand why they are pissed? Did you give them a chance to load you back?

    You also think they are fortunate because you didn't abandon the truck? Lol, it's your RESPONSIBILITY to return the truck back to where you found it!

    I hope your daughter gets to feeling better but your sense of right and wrong is different than mine.

    Want to call the shots, buy your own dam truck. Hard to believe anyone can be so stupid.

    Personally I think it was nice of Tribe to give him a ride home, he's lucky it wasn't me making that decision. They already wasted enough money bringing him there.

    Totally agree with you on that one. They really impressed me when they cut their losses early on that one.

    Did you get approval from them to deadhead 6.5 hours to return the truck ? Sounds like you didn't and that's why their keeping your paycheck. Wish we could get the whole story. So many holes in his explanation.
