NEED your Advice!

They can ruin any chance of getting a new job...Just ask them if it's alright to leave it there...Telling them may have them put an "abondoned" on your DAC whether you abandoned it or not if they're the spiteful type...CYA...

 

Under no circumstances should you abandon the truck. My advice is: if you like driving, (and judging by the post, you do like the job, not the BS), start filling out applications to other companies and hope one calls you and makes an offer you and your family can live with. But don't just leave the truck without your current company knowing about it. And by all means, COVER YOUR ARSE! Take pictures of the truck, have someone sign off saying the truck is indeed at the agreed location and acceptable, and if you have a communication system such as Qualcomm, type a message saying where the truck is and who signed off on it, send it, and take a picture of it (the message).

COVER YOUR ARSE is a big mantra on this forum. If you abide by that, you'll be okay. Hopefully, your next job will be better than the one you have now. Good luck, man!

 

Give them proper notice to avoid a bad DAC report. They however will Likely will fire you on the spot , so be prepared.

Do you have another job lined up or at least looking , might want to bide your time to see whats out there before you tell them your quitting.

 

Quit the right way. With notice and truck turned in. Take pics of truck inside and out when turned in. Now, I don't know your company but it almost sounds like a bait and switch. Get you in with promise of regional, local, or dedicated. Then when you get there, " Oh sorry, you will have to go OTR for now." If that's what's happened my as well get out now.

 

Like most of the other poster's have said proper 2 week notice not just on the phone but use quelcomm and email too. If your not fired on the spot and do run with them for the said two weeks make sure you have enough cash or credit to get home. Only take bare minimum out with you for those two weeks. Most will route you back to the nearest terminal to your home, But there is no guarantee they may need that truck in fontanna or Indianapolis. remember CYA

 

You have been given good advice thus far. Heres a few more suggestions to ponder;

Never let your emotions get the better of you.

Never "quit" at the spur of the moment.

Always have a fall back position lined up before you turn in that truck.

 

Drop yard is what you are describing...not a terminal!

If you do decide to quit...do it the right way...give notice, get routed to the closest terminal, get your personal things out of the truck, and turn it in according to their procedures. Exactly the opposite of how they issued you the truck....and be sure it is clean and ready for the next driver to occupy. Just because they gave you a dirty truck, doesn't mean you have to return it the same. Show some personal integrity and do it right!
