Bad company won’t let me quit. Advice?

When I quit van wyk I gave 2 weeks notice and it was business as usual.
On my last day they brought me to Sheldon ia , put me up in a motel for the night and next morning drove me to the soiux city Airport where I rented a car .

All four of the folks I know that has had covid had loss of taste as well as the most common symptoms. My younger brother told me has sweaty hands and feet. Which he has never had before.

 

that's a normal job and it's more courteous for an employer to replace you trucking jobs like OTR regional. such only that you can expect they might give you the shaft either sent wrong time zone terminal or in western express case they don't accept it and keep you rolling because the driver has turned to a robot for them lol

 

Classic.

I opt for you singing it..people enjoy the classics..


Or you could try a more personal touch and pen a note like these people..





Take a cue from this guy, and just let it goooooooooooooo...


Good luck, and if you do anything close what I've suggested....record it.

I've had aches and pains for a long time.
Loss of movement happens when I get out of the truck after sitting on my butt 4+ hours.
Chest pain/pressure and shortness of breathe describes me after standing in 90+ degree weather for just 15 mins.

 

Well,, I never gave a 2 week notice, because I've known drivers that gave 2 weeks, and were starved or given the crap loads. Some never even made it the 2 weeks. Quitting to an employer , generally means giving them the middle finger, and bosses don't like that. In most cases though, a driver quitting saves the boss the untidy duty of firing them.

 

I just quit Prime flatbed division about a month ago running their walk away lease. Gave them two weeks and they didn't try anything fishy. I think a lot of it depends on your fleet manager, mine was a pretty good guy and pretty much the only reason I would ever consider going back. He called me a couple weeks afterward kinda fishing to see if I'd come back to work with him but did it in a polite way. Only reason I bring this up is because I don't think that any blanket comment like "walk in and throw the keys down, walk out" or "always give 2 weeks no matter what" work universally. Play it by ear, if the guy you work most closely with isn't a jerk give the notice. If youve had many problems with them, go the other way.

 

Exactly right,

 

I never gave notice to the megas I worked for. When they fire you they don't give a driver notice. The one time I did give a 2 week notice was to a small mom and pop outfit so they could find someone to take over my route.
