I spent 3 days in the August Wyoming heat in an old lopsided Mack with no AC when I started my last job. It’s not like a “back in the day” story either, this was 2013. Stayed there 5 years because it did get better. If I were you, and could easily step into another job I would deliver that load then bail. Sounds like they screwed you, but don’t drop to their level.
Quitting under a load??

You simply tell them you've had something come up at home which requires you to take a personal leave, and in a week or two, you let them know your not coming back. Not difficult at all. -

You cite current labor laws. Did I miss where the OP mentions what state he is in? Or is this a federal labor law?
Here at least, an employer is not required to grant a LOA nor is the employer required to hold a job for someone on a LOA. At least that’s what my employer told me in 2005 when I wanted oneLast edited: May 16, 2019

I'd take the high road OP and deliver the load and bring the truck back .
At my last company greater Omaha I delivered they're load in Omaha...took the truck home and cleaned it out .
Next day they had they're truck back spotless inside and out with cards and paperwork.
Next week got everything I had coming to me .
Lifes easier with clean conscious even if you were wronged .
That was 2 years ago and still at Morehouse and couldn't be happier.JohnGER Thanks this.
