Got terminated

In my 23 years of trucking I have always given two weeks notice, I have always been worked right up until the last day and I have always been told "If you ever need a job, you come back and see us". When it comes the professional side of my life I don't burn bridges.

 

I have been employed since 1971 and have never quit a job without giving 2 weeks notice, I am still welcome to come back everywhere I have worked. I have realized over the years that the companies that were worth working for in the first place accept the notice and have you work until the notice period is up. I am in a similar situation right now, I resigned a local job to go back to OTR and my last day is Saturday, I gave 3 weeks notice to give my boss time to find a replacement, it is a small company and losing one driver hurts them.

I am sorry you got screwed but it is always better to give notice, but be prepared to be let go right then as some employers are not exactly honorable when it comes to things like this.

You did the right thing, you got screwed for it but did the right thing.

 

That is why you always turn in a written notice and get a copy of who received it with a signature..

 

The two jobs I've left without notice I regret.. those were good jobs.. but I had to leave at that time.. but would be nice to have those bridges open..

 

File for unemployment and see how fast they change their tune.

 

I quit the company after only 7 months and turned in keys and moved into my former trainer's truck as a teammate. We ran about 1 month and came back to same terminal I quit out of and was welcomed back no problems, no need to re-attend orientation either. Only problem was they didn't have any trucks. So I signed a lease and got a load out no problems. Ran for the next 3 years, and quit without notice again, a week later they email me offering significant re-sign on bonus if I come back.

 

Come on man, justvtrying to keep data charges down! Lol

 

That's it. Some said it take UE, f that, that's not same pay. It will also keep a vindictive company from poisoning your DAC, some revel in that, don't give them the opp(saving data, just saving data)...

 

2 weeks notice is for the corporate world And is a courtesy to the company so that they can find a replacement in that time period.

Drivers are a dime a dozen and thus don't need to give 2 weeks. The only thing you need to do is not quit under dispatch.
