Quitting one company for another.

Hey guys and gals. As you all know, I am currently employed by Western Express. Over the past three weekends in a row, I have had nothing but problems with dispatch and the planners. Two weekends ago, they sent me to pick up a load and drop it thirty miles away. Dispatch told me that I could go ahead and drop it as soon as I got to the receiver. Wrong. They said it couldn't be dropped until two days later. This past weekend, I told to bobtail from Columbus Ohio to Smyrna Delaware to pick up an empty. When I got to Smyrna, there were no empties. I went to the truck stop and stayed there for the night. I called the place in Smyrna about an empty the next morning and I was told they had two. I went to get one and was told to get a specific trailer. Well, it had a glad hand lock on it. Called breakdown and told them about it. They said they couldn't do anything until Monday morning. So, I had to wait for seven or eight hours for dispatch to find an empty. And this weekend, they sent me to the same place in Smyrna Delaware from Concord NC with a hot load for Walmart. I was able to get an empty but now I'm stuck in Ruther Glen VA waiting for another load after being told to bobtail here from Smyrna. Needless to say, I'm looking for another company and I have found one. Could anyone give me advice on how to resign from Western Express with dignity? I strongly suspect that if I told them what was going on, they would kick me out the truck instantly. Would it be best to just take the truck back to Nashville without warning? What would be the best way to leave without getting abandonment on my DAC report?

 

My Application for the new company has been approved already. I am most likely going to give two weeks notice before I leave. However, I also know that I'm not in a position to be stranded. The new company will either get me a flight to the nearest City or a rental car to the terminal.

 

BTW, there is a Western Express terminal about 16 or 17 miles away from me right now. If I can get set to start orientation with the new company this coming Tuesday, that is where I will drop the truck off at.
