    I actually had been telling them for about 3 weeks that I was looking for another job and would be gone when I found one so they had notice.
    As far as returning the truck, they said return it to one of their secure facilities. So I did.
    I can't speak about the rest of the company, but their southeast region stinks. Their dispatchers can't do anything because their hands are tied. The planners couldn't plan a trip to the bathroom without relaying the load! Most of the ppl you talk to on the phone are very rude.
    I don't see the appeal in working for them.

    Celadon was one of the "Best Fleets to Drive for" in 2012, wasn't it?

    According to who???? My hubby drove for them for awhile, and they are a joke. I know people that do drive for them that aren't having any issues, but with them, it sometimes seems to depend on who's kissing who . . . Hubby's first DM was good, kept him moving and got him home when he wanted to be . . . he left/got canned and the second one started out OK, but then really started giving him crap miles . . . which sucked because he was never late, didn't whine and complain, etc. At least he's with a company that appreciates him now.

    'Nuff said . . . if that was according to the ATA . . . not surprising since the head of Celadon is part of the ATA

    Typical of almost all companies-treat drivers like crap. They smile when you are their slave, but soon as you speak-up or decide to move on you are on the dirt list. Drivers are just numbers to make them money and thats all. "Never love a company because they will never love you back". Quote- Told to me from an old-school driver from years past.
