The Proper Way To Leave A Company

I agree. BUT always protect yourself incase they try and send you far away from home and won't pay you. Just saying some companies are great some vindictive

 

There's a remedy for that.

Btw, even though I advocate leaving without notice, I also believe in turning in the truck wherever specified by the company. That is the easiest way to avoid an abandonment claim.

 

Two weeks sounds nice, but what'll be their reason to not make you hate your life for that time? Or even give you any loads. Cover your ###. Take home time at the closest OC and walk in and hand in your keys. You won't have left on bad terms, call your dbl and explain that you're turning in your keys and that it's been a good time but time for something different.

 

I've heard horror stories about people getting screwed over, but I've never experienced it.

*I* always give 2 weeks notice and I've never had an issue. I too don't like burning bridges. I've never left a company because hated them. It's always simply been a business decision; I was able to better myself. I've generally liked all of the companies I've worked for.

 

I'm talking about those posts you see where the person turns in the truck and does everything they're supposed to do but when applying for the next company they find out the company they worked for originally says they abandoned the truck anyway.

 

It's usually the small 1099 companies that pull that crap. The OP stated he works for Schneider so I don't think they'd pull a fast one with his last check. Unless you're certain you absolutely hate the company and will never return burning bridges is generally not a good idea.

 

Well u have to bring it to a yard and ne sure its cleaned out. Take pict get someone shop to sign off on it ect. Then Pray no one lies so you dont have to fight your way into another job. But you NEVER abandon a truck. Ever!! No matter what.

 

Document everything. Take videos of things. Bigger companies won't do anything to your dac. If Schneider screws with yours and you catch them in the act.. Well. You won't need to drive a truck anymore.

 

If the driver has his ducks in a row, he can use the FCRA to remedy that problem (and probably get a little cash out of the deal).

Seems like it might be a good idea to video oneself turning the truck in and handing the keys to maintenance. Then if they falsify your DAC, you're going to get paid.

It's a #### shame we have to take such measures.
