Next time only give 2 minutes notice.

- Clean out truck
- Arrange for suitable transportation
- Turn in truck (That’s the 2 minute notice)
- Leave

Now, admittedly, I did take an extra minute to bite someone in the office once, but that’s not really important for your needs.

well given that we do not know if the o/p went to CDL school at Schenier, there may, or may not be any contract. Schneider is not a union shop, so yes, "at will state" may apply here, again, unless he was under some sort of employment training with them..

maybe so, but also too, private carriers do work/operate in "at will states" , making collecting anything but the weekly pay due, next to impossible.

this is why i have said over and over, I DO NOT give any notice, the company will notice, in 2 weeks, that i am not there"....

i never left any company without collecting any time off, such as a paid vacation(s)...i made sure i took them, even up to the point of "hanging in there", until i could take that vacation, meaning, waiting my turn to do so.

nearly every company i ever worked for, REQUIRED notice of when i wanted to take my vacations..

that (in most instances) was at least 1 months notice, i wanted that time of.

one union shop i worked for, in january, is when they'd have us go into the office by seniority mind you, to select our vacation weeks...

top guys like i was, had an open calendar, where the lower guys had to sit and wait till we senior guys got to pick and choose.

I can answer that for you. No this isn’t a person who was trained by Schneider. Recently anyway.

Based on the OP’s vacation numbers, they have over 7 years with Schneider. They also have only one post, and use a name that represents a female.

I call bull****

Usually sni is good at honoring a 2 wk notice..I'm wondering what happened as if this was an employee who had a bad record recently or just made the office fed up beyond tolerance .

I used to work for Schneider. I gave a two week notice. Never had any issues. My DBL thanked me for giving two weeks, said most drivers don't. Usually they are lucky someone even tells them they quit. Said most just ditch the truck at an OC and leave without saying anything.

I've never quit a job without giving at least 2 weeks.

I was going to say....

I know I am dumb. Sleepy at the railroad switch all day before I get that light bulb. And a little slow.

Your idea that the OP is making a idiot by trolling us all is a very good one. I should learn to pay attention to future OP's trying to stir up a fuss.

Lesson. (Not for you specifically but to anyone.)

If you already mentally yourself in your heart decided to take this trucking job and shove it. Move all of your money from company fuel card, comdata account etc out quietly into a bank account strictly under your control or cash.

Then arrange to ship what you cannot carry in one carry on to the bus, plane, train, rental car etc. Get it all out of the truck.

Do arrange to drive by the company ternimal... This is VERY IMPORTANT...

ACT NORMAL. The moment you are out of that truck, trailer dropped, WALK INTO HR and turn in your truck cards, papers etc, and give notice effective immediately.

Get yourself off the property quietly. Get going. Hopefully you have a new orientation next monday Or whatever.

By the time your company understands they have lost you, there is nothing for them to "Take" "Grab" claim that you abandoned (Already in yard cleaned out, documented etc) and one little Macro message of resignation of qualcomm makes it done and done. You are already riding your car off the property.

There is nothing as resounding and absolute as a trucker who has been good, made a effort and so on and QUIT with such irrevocable and quiet acts. Done and done. And gone.

If the company is WORTH ANYTHING at all, they will call you. If they wish to talk, be nice and talk. Whatever the problem that caused you to quit will be possible to fix.

Don't make a scene. Just go quietly into the night out of the company yard gate. You absolutely quit.

If you feel really strongly, you might use the last two minutes of your time on company property to properly and diplomatically tell so and so what to do with the job. (And shove it) Since you already quit and done everything according to policy so and so has no power over you anymore, no longer your supervisor, boss, company officer etc just another civilian.

I gave a 2 week notice when I left Schneider and had no issues. I ran as normal and they managed to route me back to my home operating center the last day. Cleaned out the truck and was on my way home where I had a local job lined up. They also called and tried to see if there was any way I would stay. OTR simply wasn’t an option for me anymore and they were very understanding.
Something with the OP story doesn’t seem right like maybe there’s more to the story. Could be another 1 post wonder or maybe something went really wrong for them when they were at Schneider, I don’t know. All I know is they treated me well but as they say “results may vary.”
