I worked for Werner for a year and a half, and was a driver trainer for 9 months of it, did everything I was asked, no late/refused loads etc, and I had enough of the low miles/pay/sitting like crazy and put a 2 weeks notice in. I told my dispatcher that I'd appreciate being routed home to drop off my gear, and would be happy to bring their truck back to a terminal. I also told him that I would perform the same quality work I had always produced, and that I would like to leave Werner on good terms. So I was routed in for a "safety issue" and was told that I was being terminated for idling the truck to much on a daily basis for months on end(ironic since my monthly performance review a week earlier was great, and this issue had never been brought up before). I did the best I could to make training pleasant for my students there, but I always thought to myself, if they were smart they would have never gotten started here. They run the company like a jail, no matter how hard you try, their going to muddy up your DAC and employment records when you go.

I'm at orientation for another company now, not really where I was looking to go (UPS/FedEx OTR, or Roehl) but if I get a good reference here I'm sure I'll get there. I'm definitely never putting a 2 weeks notice in to a trucking company ever again.

So, many questions I want to ask.
Always wonder if the driver has a defamation character lawsuit in these cases.
Also, this kinda of makes the DAC report not reliable.
Lastly, can DACFIX help? -
Stop Crying!! How much notice would you give them if you really wanted to quit them?? NONE!!
You got skills... Go get another job. Problem solved. -

why so #### rude? he was just trying to quit the right way. Whats wrong with that? You're probably a recruiter, arent you? -
yeah if your smart you'd put in your 2 weeks in case you ever needed to get rehired you never know

I know for a fact. JBH will hire drivers back that have constant log issues after termination due to a serious DOT reportable accident ... I've seen it done, and I'm sure Werner would have no trouble taking the op back after 6 months. That is if he was desperate enough to put up with the mental anguish of working there again -
So I just gotta ask. How do you quit the "right" way?
