So what is your suggestion? Cower down until they're ready to bring him in? I would really like to hear your solution.
Windy told him right, the only thing I would have added was to be sure to top off the fuel tanks because they're going to turn off the fuel card when he sends in an MT call.

Oh, but he could go to jail. Be afraid, be very afraid.

Then I would go to jail. The lawyer wouldn't be needed to be released from jail, the lawyer would be to burn that company and get that dispatcher's job.

Enough of the fearmongering, back to the task at hand. I did it. Just like Windsmith recommended. Had a multi stop load from Iowa to Florida to Georgia to South Carolina. Stopped off in Tennessee and emptied my gear except for everything I need for orientation at my new company. 1 duffle, pillow and coat wrapped in the sleeping bag (there is a reason why I always tell company drivers to travel light).
Emptied out and went straight to my terminal. Turned the truck in to the shop, got it signed off, walked into the office with the permit book. Dispatcher looked surprised, "What are you doing here? Are you quitting?"
'Yes. Don't have time to talk, my cab is outside.' Walked right out the front door, got into a cab on a Thursday and started orientation at my new company that Monday. And yes, do ignore the phone calls.

That actually was my last bus ride. Bought my truck a year later. I'm one of those guys that love the job, but hate all the company driver stupidity...the 'company policies', idling percentage, fuel bonus bull crap, grown adults having to ask some kid half their age if they can go home (how degrading is that? That's like a grown man having to ask his toddler son if he can have sex with mommy), and that driver cam nonsense.

You guys need to learn to trust in your spine. You don't have to be a circus clown as a company driver. You don't have to do stupid pet tricks. And no, it doesn't matter if you're a rookie.

But Six, every company that I see is trying to pork me...what do I do?

You're the one that's aiming for a bottom feeder. Aim higher. If you wind up at a bottom feeder, it's your fault. I remember reading some thread where this kid was calling England a savvy company. That's like saying cow poop is art. Now he has his heart set on Swift. Guess they're savvy too. Why even respond? If someone wants to go roll in cow poop, let him go.

I did the same thing and yes I went to jail in Bowlin Green KY for the weekend till court on Monday and then bail was set at 10K and let me bound out with %10 percent. would I do it again yes but I would be aware that it could happen. i was told the same thing fell up the truck and take it to the yard not much they can do but make you pay for the fuel. Ya right learned that lesson
