Advice for leaving / quitting

Most states have "at will" conditions that mean no notice is necessary to quit or get fired. FYI. I have worked at many co's over the years and never been fired. But I have quit in many different ways. I quit Arrow trucking under a load with direct deposit and left the truck at their yard which was closed at night. I quit after direct dep was put on card and emptied it out at midnight so they couldn't freeze it. I left a note on the windshield that I quit.

I quit FFE the 2nd time under what I thought was not very desireable conditions and they sent a co recruiter to ask me back 8 months later. He said he was given names of excellant former drivers to try to come back to FFE ! And I actually did go back for a 3rd time.

I also put in my notice for a small co and the co owner called the co I was going to with me sitting in his office, and talked with the new co's owner trying to pick his brain and figure out why I was quitting his co for the other co.

 

The only company I ever quit driving for, I came in after a days work, called the supervisor & asked if I could see him. He said, well, its Friday & I just left about 10 minutes ago. I said, well, I need you to come back to the yard. I need to speak with you. After some huffing & puffing he came back. I handed him my letter of resignation, keys, credit card etc & told him he needed to find another driver for tomorrow (Saturday). I'm out of hours. Adios amigo. Saranada, bye bye and some of those other languages.

So why I'd I leave? Always out over 70 most of the time in 5 days. This week, I was going to be out of hours about mid morning Friday, finish out the day of about 6 more hours & they still wanted us to run from north Louisiana to Chicago & back Saturday & Sunday. Then run our regular 5 day week.
Sorry Charlie, I didn't sign on for that.
