Bad company won’t let me quit. Advice?

Yeah, I dont want to return to WE. No thankyou, they abuse drivers.

 

They wont. thankfully their abuse ends once you leave

 

That may or may not be true. But, in this particular situation, you made a mistake by notifying that carrier while out of your intent!

Over the last few years, I have come to realize you don't give any of the large carriers a notice. The carriers you give notice to in my opinion are the small ones that generally try to treat their drivers right. If you can don't leave these small carriers high and dry!

 

I aint #### for making a mental note of this for future reference

 

Wont let you? lol.

Assuming you are gaurenteed to be rehired at May, meaning they have you all set up for reorientation or whatever:
Deliver whatever load your on.
Fill up the truck with fuel.
IGNORE any messages about your next load.
Send them a message TELLING them you are quitting and en route to the terminal.
Drive to the terminal ignoring any messages and phone calls they make trying to get you to stay.
When you get to the terminal call a car rental place and rent a car for a one way trip to the city the May terminal is in (if you have too much for a plane/bus, otherwise see if May will pay for that ticket, they may also reimburse part of the car cost).
Call a taxi to take you there and pick up the car if they don't offer pickup.
Drive to the terminal and unload your truck.
Walk in and tell them you are quitting, do everything that needs to be done to quit.
Drive the car to your old job, unload it into whatever hotel May sets you up in, return the car. Do what you need to do to get rehired, bobtail to the hotel to load up the new truck.

 

The Office is a masterpiece. And it's funny how it seems to apply to blue collar work also. The lingo might change a bit, the behavior is the same.

Ronald Livingston also played on Band of Brothers. He has a way of getting into a lot of underrated work.
