Company wants me to rent A car to retrieve truck from dealership

I've been with this company only a month, truck has been broken down for all three weeks I've been here, two separate times. I opted to go home for the 4th of July since the truck would be in the shop until the following week. They didn't argue but said I would not receive breakdown pay and would have to pay for my rental car home. I'm regional and am supposed to be home on the weekends, kind of thought that was scummy but I accepted it. I didn't want to retrieve a recovery truck as a loaner before it was cleaned, you don't know how dirty it will be or if the person before you was sick with something.

The weekend passed and on Monday they said truck was still in shop wait until today. I called this morning and they first claimed that the truck was going to be broken down another week and tried to have me recover a truck in a state next door to my own. I thought that was weird, called my dispatch who has been very professional and nice (as has everybody I've spoken with over the phone), he said that it was supposed to be fixed and contacted my terminal, he called me back and said that my truck was indeed fixed. So I feel like they just needed somebody to go get that truck and didn't care that my truck was already fixed.

Here's the thing, they said they were not going to pay for my rental to recover the truck. Or specifically, they would put a bus ticket equivalent on my EFS card. That hit me the wrong way but I remained professional. Then I asked about my truck and they confirmed it was fixed, interesting right? They said the same thing, they wouldn't pay for a rental, only a bus ticket equivalent. So tomorrow I'm going to quit the company, it's something I don't want to do but I just have a bad feeling about this company. For the record it's a mega carrier but I'm not going to say the name.

My question is, should I get the truck anyway, is there such a thing as abandoning a semi truck like abandoning a load? It has been at the dealership where I left it since last week, I also confirmed that somebody came and picked up the load that I had. Can I get some veteran advice? Thank you.

 

I've been talking to Fremont Contract Carrier, they're just waiting for my background. Climate Express is also an option, I will probably hear back from them tomorrow.

EDIT: I have 4 years experience with clean record.
