Most places, when you quit, security walks you to the door.

I don't care where you work, when you turn in your resignation, it's over. Your value to the Company is nil. Not the time to be asking for favors. You ain't their problem no more.

Magnum does more than most, they did offer a ride. But I have seen drivers who were "difficult" to work with told they were on their own, gate is over there. Don't know war wagon, don't know which one he was. Only hearing one side of the story.

Bottom line, if you're going to leave, have a plan in place. Clean out the truck. Leave the wife, kids, and dog at home. Travel light. Arrange transport. Once you turn in those keys, you're on your own.

Driver did none of that. Doesn't even have his next job lined up and nailed down. Poor planning through and through.

 

We still have them, but we also have a lot of NC drivers. Like half the fleet. They suck up all those loads because Magnum, say what you will about them, does like to run their drivers by the house when they can. Keeps everybody happy.

Haven't been down there myself either lately, other than to bring back a truck. Shame really, easy 1500 mile run and it ain't jersey. They should spread the wealth more.

 

Ive only been to NC twice in 7 months. Was never easy to get there. One was a repower to get me home. Ppg site to detroit.

 

You must have worked for some really High Quality companies. I have never been escorted out of the building...well, one, but it was because after getting in a heated argument with the dispatch supervisor with the #1 dispatcher trying to block the door so I couldn't leave...I went thru #1 to leave anyway and then #### near ripped the back door's mechanical door closer off the frame on my way out. The safety guy met me at my truck when I was headed to clean it out and offered to have local LEO's to come and help me pack my stuff and get off the property, after I went nose to nose with chubs, I told him they better send more than one!!! And that company and Magnum are the only 2 in 25 yrs that didn't hound me for months trying to get me to come back if my next gig didn't pan out like I expected.

 

This #### just keeps getting better.
They just added stuff to my PSP.
So now because I have a couple of preventable accidents I can't get the job I was going to.
Oh, and the preventable accidents were when I was hit while parked in truck stops. Yep, sitting there minding your business and get hit, Magnum is gonna blame you.
My preliminary PSP from Magnum was clean. Nothing at all. So when the company pulled the final PSP from Magnum to put in my hire records this stuff is there.
So no job.

 

Wow. That’s low.

 

I never would have thought Magnum would do this.

 

It’s more likely your DAC. They did it to me also.... plus several others I know of.

 

Been following this thread for long time. Run up to Fargo weekly pulling a tank. But yea, there was several pages last year dedicated to this subject, sabotaged DAC reports. The mega haulers used to do it regularly until the advent of the internet and people working together to figure out the games these companies played.

Gotta be upfront with the new employer. I work for a 5 terminal 300 truck company and know for a fact that if a new driver explained their current predicament and the unscrupulous tactics of their current employer, it wouldn’t effect the hiring process.

GOOD drivers are near impossible to find and retain. Companies that go strictly off paper really aren’t worth your time. They need to meet you and talk to you. I just don’t think any company that uses cue card reading recruiters and Craigslist ads is a company that you want to work for. They’ll hire ANYONE and the work environment will reflect that.
