My Company owes me 2 paychecks and can't fund fuel to get me home

That was a bad deal. We had two Arrow trucks in our yard when that happened. They'd been renting drop space from us for a couple of years. The drivers cleaned out their trucks and I gave them a ride to the bus station. Our guys passed the hat for pocket money for the drivers.
The trucks stayed in the yard for about six months until a repo outfit came for them. We wouldn't release the trucks until the storage was paid. That took another two months and we finally got a check from some bank in New York.

 

Way too involved. Ya gotta find a facility to hold a truck and trailer, you gotta outlay money (since the OP hasn't been paid) ya gotta get the truck, with little fuel, there, etc.Too much work.
Personally, I would not worry about abandonment, the owner abandoned the OP.

 

It's not just him, He also has a trainee with him, which I'm sure hasn't been paid either

 

OP had a trainee?

 

Thats what he said, when used the phrase "We ducked in to the J to bide our time"

 

Royal We perhaps?

 

He mentions a trainee somewhere

 

5 months and he’s a trainer. Good greif. I bet they are/were running as a team.

 

Skimmed through the post, but I would have started a used truck parts business at the J you are stuck at. Kinda of a cash and carry.
My 2cents.
