FUEL

Whose your company?
It sounds like your last hurrah in the trucking industry. They'll report abandonment, theft or half a dozen other career ending notes on your DAC.

 

You are being very stupid even if you make it you will be charged for the cost of the fuel and probably the mt miles. Not to mention if they figure out what your doing inroute the will have you stopped an arested for steeling the truck. Also you can forget about gettn another truck job with this on your dac. volvo-nashville= western exspress ?

 

Does the carrier KNOW you are planning to do this? If not, I would advise against trying to bobtail half way across the country, as they could easily report the truck as stolen, DOT pulls you over, and you get a ride to the big house instead of making it home. Not only that, but leaving the truck anywhere other than where instructed by the carrier to leave THEIR truck, and you will have a truck abandonment on your record...and they may be able to withhold recovery costs from your last paycheck or two....and if they cannot withhold under state law, they certainly can sue you to recover their loses.

You would be better off having your next job lined up and have THEM pay for your bus ticket from one carrier's terminal to their own.

 

I can't believe he's a 20 year driver because he would know the ramifications. Might as well go into your profile and change it to Trucker? ex-20 years.

Why are you headed to Vegas when your profile says Pensacola? Are you gonna win some money?

 

Thats how i had to do it a few months ago. droped truck at shop,turned keys into mechanic called a cab to greyhound. had a prepaid ticket to next employer and that new employer was fully aware of my planes ahead of time

 

I agree there is no way he has been out here that long.

 

what do you mean end everything? iI really hope you dont mean what sounds like.

 

Sorry to here all that.

Hold on to what you have temporarily and plan the job change even if it takes three weeks. Plan it out. Just don't get upset and quit. The hole is deep enough. No sense making it deeper.
When bad things happen, good things follow. You never know, you might have a better job, a better wife and a nicer house in the near future. Quitting ain't the answer.
