    What costs more, a plane ticket or the truck? There is no second chance if you hang up and DH the truck home.

    Just be careful firing an employee. Check PA and or LA labor laws. Firing an employee can be difficult and costly. I'd take a step back and make sure you leave emotion out of it. When you can, route him somewhere near you and take possession of your truck. Make sure you have all instances of theft documented as well.

    Be the bigger guy and offer him some help to get him and his personal property home and send him off with his last check paid in full. Win some lose some.
