BAD COMPANY + B.S. on DAC = retirement

Sorry to hear about your troubles, Bubba. It's a shame so many companies don't appreciate good workers. Best of luck to you finding a job you like and that makes you enough money to be comfortable in life.

 

I know, that now one really wants to go this route, but have you considered applying at a rent a worker place,(temp to hire)? They usually hire drivers. Not the best of driving jobs, I am sure, but it might get you back in the saddle.

 

I think a name is pro driver, like a temp service for drivers.

 

mcelroy did the same thing to my husband he turned his truck in & they put on his dac he abandoned truck but he turned his truck into one of there terminals, then they took all of his paycheck because they said he didnt turn it into the cuba terminal. anyway tmc hired him with that on his dac he just explained everything to his recruiter. good luck!!!!!!!!!

 

I know of several drivers who have gotten charged for abandonment even though they took a truck back to the company. It seems that some want you to turn it into a place they do orientation at or their main headquarters terminal or they will take money and or put it on your DAC.

You have to really be careful these days and find out were they want the truck and should probably try to do it after you have gone home and cleaned it out so you won't have to drag around a bunch of stuff.

A driver should also consider when hiring on what kind of hassle it may be to get from were they turn in the truck back to the house. When I quit KLLM they had me take the truck to Jackson Miss even though I picked it up in Woodland Ca and live south of Seattle Wa. What a journey that was getting home, not to mention taking almost 4 days on the Grey dog.

 

Anyone want to pass the hat to help Bubba out so he can do the DAC fix?

Just a thought...

Sucks, Bubba
