Two week notice?

With all the stupid laws and regulations we have one of them should require employers to verify employment for ex employees. Any company maliciously preventing an ex employee from obtaining employment should be illegal.

 

Here' how I quit Werner,im at home called my dispatcher and said I quit,im going to clean the trk out and ill bring it back to Omaha in the morning.I was planning this for weeks bur wanted to wait till I got home first so I could clean the trk.

 

You often hear people complain about a lack of professionalism. To me, one thing a professional does is provide written notice of their intent to leave an employer. What your employer does with that information is on them, but imo you can never go wrong by doing the right thing.

That said, if I was in a situation like others have described where I'd turned in a notice and the company was trying to hang me out, I wouldn't hesitate to fuel up and drag their empty equipment back to the terminal where it came from.

 

Just your self-respect, I have to imagine.

 

Wow, Jb hunt left me unattented for 3 days because they gave me a load 330 miles picking up on monday nd appointment was on wednesday nd i couldn't drop it off early i refuse the load nd they didn't talk to me for 3 days i was just there sleep they were mad when i drove home with a new trailer clean the truck nd then i quit but i kept the truck nd the trailer for the same amount of time they had me sitting at the truck stop then i dropped them off at their terminal.

 

Professionalism shoud not start and end with the driver either,how professional is it when a driver gives a 2 weeks notice the company promises you can go home and clean the trk out then bring it back to the term but instead they hold it against the driver and won't accept the notice the dispatcher routes the driver to the term says clean the trk out you're done and then the driver has to pay for his own way home,how professional is that?

 

I learned long ago in this industry you have to fight fire with fire.Mostly mega carriers could care less and a 2 weeks notice means absolutely nothing to them.Drivers think they're doing the respectful thing by giving their employer a 2 weeks notice but many times after that you and your dispatcher hate eachother.Companies hold it against drivers for what drivers feel they're doing the right thing.The best way to quit a company is while on hometime.I quit Werner and Gainey that way.

 

and that's a big HOPE you get routed back to the yard.

 

A 2 weeks notice was required to get back the "tractor damage fee" that was taken out of my check in $25 increments for the first several months after I was hired. I gave the 2 week notice and nothing changed. Still got miles and was treated the same as always. A few weeks later the tractor damage fee was deposited into my account.
