Just makes sure all your communication is email and saved.
At this point I wouldn’t do any communication on the phone .
And I’d just find another job,
And keep collecting the $75 a day .
When they finally call and say the trucks ready, take a day or two off from your new job and run it back to the newest terminal and quit.

When was dac even relevant? There’s so many companies out there to work for. People are too scared to fight for them self. You got bills. Your boss doesn’t care because theirs are being paid. do what you gotta do.
Hi boss no hard feelings thank you for the opportunity. but, bills are due and I have to work. See you in the next lifebzinger, Gearjammin' Penguin, ZVar and 2 others Thank this. -
You’re lucky they are paying you ANYTHING! Most companies would never do that!
JoeyJunk Thanks this. -
Probably cheaper to pay the poor guy $75 per day, than to lay him off and be on the hook for the UE benefits. Hey $500.00 per week and a hotel room has kept the OP happy for over 2 months! Maybe he is just tired of sitting on his aasss and ordering overpriced food from doordash! Lol
JoeyJunk and Dave_in_AZ Thank this. -
I wouldn’t even give em any notice at all call em up and say I quit.

Sheesh, So this company has been paying you $75 a day break down pay for two months straight while you sit at home? Go get another truck driving job and keep letting them pay you. Lol
Nitelyte, JoeyJunk and buzzarddriver Thank this. -
I call it reverse abandonment, the company seems to have abandoned you, 75 bucks a day is crap

Think of it this way OP, they’re paying you $75 a day to keep you on a leash. To own you. Seems like, “wow I’m getting $75 for nothing. “ Right? That’s anounts to about $2000 a month.
do you realize when you run ONE 800 plus mile load for that company, They’ll likely make back all the money they paid you for that month and more. Based on the rates the way they are right now. It’s scraps to them to pay that amount.
I tell the company that I work for I don’t want your detention or layover pay. Keep me running. I make a minimum of about $250 a day when I’m running. They offer $85 for layover pay which is a joke. It’s not free money. It’s crap money. They are paying to retain you.bzinger, Nitelyte, 88228822 and 1 other person Thank this.
