    I would fuel first thing. First to see if the fuel card still works and next to get enough fuel to get home. If you can leave a voice, text or email message with someone at the company, do it. Tell them your check bounced and you are going to bring the truck in. That you are not performing any more work for their company. Be interesting to see if them respond and what they have to see. Keep us updated.

    Look in the glove box and see who the registered owner of the truck is. If there's a lienholder, like a bank or a finance company, they might appreciate knowing where the truck is after you bail out.

    Don't worry, she'll be along sooner or later.

    America bounces once in a while but truckers keep rolling.

    Everyone is right start heading home always make sure you are okay remember that most of these wanna be companies are just overnighters. They start multiple buisnesses and schemes but will just move on to another industry tomorrow they' re ### is covered. During your trip home go ahead and start talking to other companies inform them of your situation and you may not even make a whole trip home. Probably be able to park near another companies yard to go ahead and start the hiring process. Good luck and god bless.

    P.S. I dont mean to offend anyone but dont really care "if they are gonna be imature let them troll". Lmao in hopes of a little extra positive dont let everyone compeletly discourage you from driving for smaller outfits if that is what you are looking for. Altough the majority of small outfits are unstable just remember more effort means more gain. Research the company better and take time pursuing those trucking jobs. You will need to find one who has been in buisness for a long time verifiably. Then you will need exp. and seasoned composure when you speak to them be knowlidgable proffesional polite and short but correct. Always ask if you can speak to a driver or two and listen for the happy ####### when you do he is there and happy for a reason. Most of those companies now work niches such as heavy haul oversized high security etc. Again good luck and god bless you driver.

    Fist off send a message via ELD to carrier that you are bringing truck to terminal asap.
    Than call the needed person to leave a vmail that you ate returning truck to terminal.
    Than text if possible.
    If you are loaded deliver load first.
    Arrange a ride home.
