Advice for leaving / quitting

Could do like I did.

1. Find a new job before quitting. Companies are generally flexible on start date so tell them you need a week or two to quit your current company. You might even need to push it back (I did) which shouldn't be a problem.

2. Try and get a load taking you near a/the terminal for your current company. Can make up anything, like just asking for a load to the city or even saying you need to come to the terminal to change some employee information.

3. Once you deliver your load, message your dispatcher and tell them you are bringing the truck to the terminal and quitting. Ignore any responses, ignore any load assignments.

4. When you arrive at the terminal, call a car rental agency to rent a car for a one way trip to the city with the new companies terminal. Drive it to your truck and unload it.

5. Go inside and officially quit. Talk to who you need to talk to, fill out whatever paperwork is needed, turn in whatever you need to, etc.

6. Drive the rental car to the hotel the new company sets you up in (you might need to pay an extra day or two yourself if early) , unload it, return the car, get an uber/whatever back to the hotel.

If everything done correctly
- you will have a new job before quitting the old job so no gaps in income
- your truck will be empty and at the terminal so they can't claim abandonment
- your truck will have been unloaded before actully quitting so they couldn't try and lock you out
