is this considered abondenment

this is my 2 cents-in a trainer/team situation you quit at your terminal(after completing your dispatch) jumping out in the middle of the game should be avoided unless you absolutely have to(i.e. family emergency).if i sent you and another driver out as a team/trainer situation and you decided to quit on me 3 days out on a 7 day dispatch then i could rightfully say you abandoned the truck as now i would have to solo dispatch that truck to get it back,which may force the remaining driver to run out of hours before he could get back. or he would have to take a restart somewhere along the way,messing up his HOME TIME! too many drivers only think of themselves when they do this-then whine when they get a black mark on their DAC. what did you expect that company to do,fly another driver out to take your place???

 

no i've never had this happen to me as i'm only a one man operation at this time. i was responding to you from a business point of view. i agree there is not enough information being given to drivers when they sign these "agreements" with these carriers-well that's what this place is all about, getting the whole story. of course you will get some BS here too-gotta remember who your talking to,TRUCK DRIVERS!---well i never ________!!!!! you fill in the blank?????!!!!

 

a company can report anything at any time to DAC. that is the problem with this "database collecting". usually you have to wait and see if a previous employer posts anything bad about you.unless you really got your previous employer upset with you,i would not worry too much.just keep names and dates of all the people involved so you can prove your points should that be needed.

 

that has happened,you can probably find a post on this forum that this has happened more than once.although if you are doing good with the "new" company,they would most likely not take action against you. now if you claimed to have no tickets/accidents when you hired on or claimed to be drug-free,and something popped up that proved you lied on your application-well then expect termination. that's why it's always best to honest with your recruiter and human resources people,so they know what to expect to see,,,if it does not show up,then they do not worry about it. you would be surprised how far honesty is more important in the eyes of an employer, that would be my main concern about hiring someone!

 

I honestly feel there is more to your story though? You don't mention why you left the truck?
If you are still working for them does the "DAC" shouldn't say anything about you within that company.

What you need to do is make sure you are making a clear and clean record for you future .

Again I feel there is more to the story and telling the whole truth would help us help you . We understand mistakes here and we are willing to tell you the outcome of them truths.. I hope you get the next job due to your mess up at your current one. I just hope you are using your senses . I have faith in you .

 

That's the way it works . If the DAC doesn't come through (which most companies use that, not all) then if we have to do a written you may get lucky and run 30 days before we get a response and once we get a response and find negative reports then it could lead to false application or disqualification on application (not a techinical legal wording/not sure).
If you lie on your application its always able to haunt you and legally the company has any reason to terminate you once they realize you have falsed your application. This is why many here will stress to all drivers to make sure you tell the truth of "what happened" that way they know your side and the "companies" side. Sometimes it just doesn't matter, it's the facts of what happened.

I hope I am not coming acrossed as mean, I am trying to tell you the inside impression of the outsider, does that make sense?
