I called them out on their bs a couple months ago for valid reasons concerning loads I was refusing because I could not do them safely. Since then, they have been extremely petty (sending me for drop and hooks that I wait at the shipper 24+ hours, not giving me detention, waiting weeks for breakdown pay that I sat 64hrs for, etc.) I put in my two week notice on Monday as the frustration has not gone away over these two months as things have gotten worse since I called them out. Here it is Thursday and I am on the same load (1200 miles with this being the third day this week that I’m sitting.) Is there anything I can do as far as filing a grievance or something of that nature? And if so, where would I begin? I have saved emails and screenshots of messages back and forth between dispatch and myself. I am fed up and can’t wait to leave this company but it’s taking everything in my entire being to not abandon this truck on the side of the road.

not really a legal problem.
I would just park it and walk away.
I didn't play those kids games.
no, notice. they want to play games? do it with somebody else.
give notice to those kinds of companies and that's what you'll get. they want you to quit. I would. -

trucking co. don't really care about giving notice. it's not like a regular job.
I've quit many and had no repercussions. just take truck back to terminal clean it out. take pics to prove condition and give keys to dispatch or whoever.Badmon, alds and TheLoadOut Thank this. -
file a grievance.
non-union shop?
suck it up, do the job, then walk away
gotta be careful who, what, when, where you "call out" your employer.
you can be black balled by them, once you do leave..
good luck.Lonesome and TheLoadOut Thank this. -

there are right ways and wrong ways to talk to those in charge.
there will still be repercussions in the future when you leave your new job, and another new employer starts making background checks.
frankly to me, you sound like a hot head, wanting to spew off at your employer, and then cry like a little girl when they "get even" with you.
what on God's earth, did you think would happen? that they give you the keys to the city..???
good luckSoulScream84 and 650cat425 Thank this. -
Get me moving on a load or point me to the location you want your truck dropped off. Get it in email or text to CYA and photograph EVERY inch of the truck in case they try and pin damages on you.
