    @Gulf makes a good point. If nothing else being that close and no A/C could be your perfect ticket out of there. If you’re feeling this way after 2 days, in my opinion, trying to stick it out is just delaying the inevitable. Bail on it and find something else. Good luck.

    You've been there 2 days, how do you know loads back for the weekend aren't there, or that its 750 bucks a week before taxes? I will say if the first 2 days of a new job are that bad the probability of it getting better aren't real good.
    Where are you at, what sort of ag are you hauling?

    The bad thing is these companies today use Tenstreet Intilliapp so when you give them your SSN its gonna come up that you worked here and there... I've ran into this problem before... I had one lady couple years ago say did you work at this place and I said no... She said well it said you did... Which I did for 1 day and found out they had driver facing cameras so I quit... Just something to think about...

    Because I asked the owner directly today
    "We aren't hauling that load anymore doesn't pay"
    750 before taxes yes.

    Claim a personal emergency, wait to quit till you get your last paycheck.

    To cut through the chase, I will tell you what you want to hear: drop the truck off immediately and grab your gear and go home.

    Now, I have a question...
    How did you find out about your resets and loads and whatnot after being on the job 2 days? Obviously, none of this is first hand experience.
