Well then if that is a general Practice in the trucking industry, then taking away your driving privileges with their company as soon as you give a notice, then it sounds to me like majority of the trucking companies can't really blame you for not giving notices to your previous employers
Give a notice?

I had no idea mad at my company gets alerts when I inquired online other trucking company. What the heck am I going to tell my dispatcher when he calls and confronts me about my recent activity online inquiring about other trucking companies. Right now that's kind of one of my biggest concerns. Especially after learning the fact that's if they think you're looking elsewhere and are not happy they will probably cut you off. I don't even have a year in yet and so I'm not exactly ready to leave this company. I don't want to have to be forced to leave one frying pan just to go to another frying pan to finish out my year gaining experience. I'd rather stick it out for 12 months and then see what other options I have. And I was simply doing just that the other day. I was just saying what other companies have to offer. And now my dispatcher will be notified about that and I'm assuming it's not going to be good because just before my six month Mark came up I checked out one other trucking company that was out of the state I live in. My dispatcher called me and didn't like the fact that I had talked to someone else. I assume that he was lying to me and that it was just some kind of a tactic that dispatchers do around the 6-month Mark of new drivers. I assume that he was just pretending that he was given information about me looking elsewhere just so that he could get an idea of how I felt about the company I'm with. Because when I was to hit my 6-month mark oh, I didn't have to hey back my company for paying for my Cdl training. Technically, I only owed them six months as a payback for them paying for my CDL training. And so I assume that he concocted this lie over the phone to me that he found out I was talking to another company. Well, two days ago I found out that these big trucking companies actually subscribe to some kind of alert system that lets them know when they're drivers contact other trucking companies.

A. Pick where you want to work from, post it here, find next job. Avoid hiring witb a company that uses the same hiring software as your current employer, e.g. Tenstreet tattles on you if you apply with another employer who uses them.
Pick a local dump truck, pneumatic bulk, fuel, etc, company with paper apps that doesn't check anything at all.
B. Have a family emergency and get routed to that place for a break.
C. Clear out truck, take photos od condition, send message via written comm of your voluntary termination. Take a photo of that.
D. Skip out the back, jack.Clara3 Thanks this. -
You can get hired with 6 months verification but a year is better.
Clara3 Thanks this. -
Tell them you're just 'testing the waters.'
Clara3 Thanks this. -
leaving a truck at a dropyard is not always considered returning it, a terminal is. Always leave on good terms, tell dispatcher how hard they worked to solve problems.
I was talking to a driver last week who gave two weeks notice and she said they were running her hard, she was leaving for local.Clara3 Thanks this. -
