    Trust me ive tried everything out there. 3 different kinds of air freshener, 2 kinds of pee removal stuff, 3 different cleaning products. Ive scrubbed every surface of that cab at least 3 times.

    Ive decided dealing with piss for one more day and spending $150 now may save me in the long run. Thanks for the advice everyone. Ill deliver the load and quit in the AM

    Our opinion doesn't count nearly as much as your old employer's opinion. He's the one that gets to hit you with a DAC report for years to come if you leave on bad terms. Finish the load then quit.

    Drop lot does not make company property. It might be a third party agent that makes a living holding trailers on a awful lot of gravel.

    You run the risk of a eviscerating via DAC for load abandonment. That will kill your chances of hire faster than anything.

    I hope you are rolling with your new company before anyone there tumbles to the idea that you possibly quit a load.

    Next time don't ever quit a load.

    Deliver the load. It's the right thing to do.

    Doing the right thing in wrong situations is what good character is made of.

    You may not realize it, but it will benefit you.

    Back in the JBH days, I was assigned a tractor, pretty new too, that some young man pissed all in the AC vents.
    LOL

    Turned on the AC when I was checking it out, and was like "Ah hell no." Lol

    I got a different truck, no clue how they dealt with that.
