need help load abandonment!

you'll have a dac scar. comes with the territory with mega carriers.

load abandoment. i don't see how because there's still one driver driving the truck.

if you were solo and jumped ship. then yeah.

 

he is right ,,they will put it on your dac,,, happened to me back in 1988,,,stayed on my dac awhile,,
i was working for midwest dist..[ the old dollar tk company out of Ft Scott Ks] how many of you remember them ..the white .blue cabovers

 

Safety Director here:

Driver, any time you leave under dispatch (meaning you were dispatched and refused to haul or leave it in an unauthorized location) is classified as abandoment and will make you uneligable for unemployment. Most motor carrier will consider this as a "kiss of death" or unhireable when you go and apply with them at a later time.

My advise is to ask to stick it out and deliver the load and then ask to be taken back to the nearest terminal where you can offically terminate your employment. Of course if your safety and/or health is in immediate danger, then take all reasonable steps to protect yourself first and if need be call the local authorities and/or emergency medical assistance for aid.

 

If there is any way possible to get to a terminal before quitting, I would. You're part of a "team" while with a trainer, and you're leaving the truck between terminals/dispatches may well be filed as abandonment. And you never know that it might come back to bite you later when/if things change for you.

Don't take the chance and make sure you know what you're doing, why you're doing it, and that you've exercised all options to correct whatever situation is causing the problems (unless you've figured out the lifestyle isn't going to work for you). It will get a better if you've got what it takes to solo, but I don't know what your situation is. So best of luck to you, regardless.

 

Yes yes yes

 

Why do you want to jump ship? Home sick, hate the company, hate traffic or city's, if u hate the trainer ask for a new one. Jumping ship while under load is abandonment even if you are just a student. Second jumping ship as a student makes harder to find a job do to lack of experience.
