Your opinion on leaving a company...

Bruh, this business is about the Benjamins. Reject the load and head to the new job.

 

Turn Truck in and quit working for CHEAP !

 

Dude, that's .23 per mile. You don't owe them sh. Time for you to stop letting them bend you over and return the favor.

 

Right thing to do is tell your dispatch you can't do the load. Just be straight up. You wouldn't want someone to leave you hanging. Or if you can do the load & start on Tuesday do that. Im sure the new company would understand. As long as that load does not take you way out of the way.

 

KY trucker, this sounds really bad, that is, the way you wrote it: "heavy haul instead of legal loads.."

Instead of "legal" loads? What's up with that? Isn't a heavy haul "legal" if it's permitted" If you're not going to be hauling "legal" loads, wouldn't that be a pretty much surefire red flag?

 

Ive done heavy haul. It's not fun. My last concrete place in little rock the boss there always loaded to a minimum of 100,000 for a 16 mile run to his plant. Greedy sumgun. Things unraveled when I cottoned to cutting it down to 80K gross for teh sake of the POS old tractor I had. No wonder the #### thing fell apart. There is proof training done right decades ago in that type of haul kicks in and not too many people understand it's value.

If you have a permit for whatever weight it is it's legal. WHAT is NOT legal is running three logbooks, splashing coffee on two of them (Unsigned) and hand the Frowning DOT the third. So companies that asked for it I eventually learned to quit and move on. Or it will be done for you.
