How do I return a truck after quitting?

Not a problem, just wondered what co. Some co's are bad about dinging your dac.

 

If you have "already" quit, maybe you better contact someone to make sure they are not in the process of recovering the truck as we speak. If you gave "notice" of some sort, like "when I get back I'm gone" then maybe you should give them a little time to figure it out, I guess how much time is totally up to you. Although you dont want an abandonment on your DAC, you also cant stay there forever babysitting their truck

 

And be quitting by the next afternoon?

If you want a good job, you have to do a little more homework than what you'll do tonight if you want that job by tomorrow. You'll probably have to take a week or longer to find it. Any job you can get at the drop of a hat is a job that's not worth having for long. Definitely don't bank on it. Usually, you'll be replacing a quitter if you're settling for a job that you can get by the next morning. A quitter who quit the job for a good reason, meaning YOU will be soon quitting as well. I hope you will try to avoid this path and stay away from trucking company revolving doors.

Definitely don't fall into the black-hole belief that the trucking industry is full of honest people who care about you and your future career in trucking. If you believe that, you'll very soon be getting a rude surprise.

Good luck.

 

Sounds good, Jaw. First and foremost keep your DAC clean. This means doing exactly what they want you to do with the truck. Don't move it until you're told, and if you have to babysit it for three or four more days, so be it. Five days from now you'll be glad you did.

Good luck.

 

This illustrates why you should not quit while on the road. Experienced drivers have learned to swing thru the house, clean out their truck, then request a load to the home terminal. Keep only a small bag for your clothes, your logbook, atlas, and cell phone. Once at the terminal then let them know you are resigning effective immediately.

Just be sure to have Enterprise rent a cars' phone number handy and a credit card to pay for the rental yourself (of course you could have someone pick you up if you live close by and save the cost of a rental car). Relying on the companies "good graces" to get you back home may take some time and be in the form of a bus ticket. I think we all know how FUN that is.

Just remember "life is a journey" and you will get thru this.

 

I have heard from alot of sources that heartland was top-notch. I don't understand why they would put you through that. Did swift buy them? (just kidding) I am feeling very sorry for you and hope you get home and your dac stays clean.
