Best way to leave a company?

How did this end up working out, OP?

 

After I left May they had listed some things on the d a c that err not true, I contested them, MAY did not respond and DAC removed them.

The way I left them, delivered to Mira Loma,CA. When empty I was sent to the MAY yard just off the 60 freeway. Called dispatch and notified them I had a family issue to take care of, requested a week off left the tractor in the Mira Loma yard, had there yard manager sign that it was left in good condition, cleaned out the truck went home. A week later after I had received all my pay, called dispatch and let them know I would not be back.

Never had been a problem, 1 do not abandon equipment, 2 always deliver the load to shipper, yard what ever, just make sure your relieved of responsibility for the load. 3 Don't trash the equipment, try to get them to dig for the equipment and list the condition of equipment. After all they have you sign for it when it's issued to you.

Make dues you actually have all your pay before you quit, there is allot of disreputable companies. Say what you will, but I have been offered driving jobs back everywhere I have driven for.

Companies look at your on time record, damage record including equipment, and load loss. Driver attitude. This stuff counts way more than how you quit.

Always cover your own butt.

 

Here is one way: Never get in the truck in the first place. That way you never quit. Apply on-line, when they call an hour later, tell them you just took a job shoveling sheet at $10 an hour. You are better off.

 

Heard that.
Trains are a slightly better alternative, but only if you're getting your own car room, because otherwise it's just a greyhound on rails. And the price of the private car room is almost as much as a plane ticket booked in advance.

When I left FFE, I booked my ticket out of Dallas a few months in advance (I was waiting for my financial obligation/work training contract to expire) and it only cost me about $200 for a 4/5 hour flight. VS greyhound which was offering a one way trip for $80, on a 35 hour bus ride...Amtrack was priced at around $150 for a 20'ish hour ride.
