    Most companies will do this because they can not trust the driver. Just about all gasoline companies will do this because they know the driver is thinking about the other job and could care less about the one you're about to leave. It's pretty normal.

    It likely says more about the company, than it does the driver. I too believe in giving notice. At least you know that you have done the right thing.

    I put 2 week notice in and figured I be canned immediately. Last day is today. Ran hard whole time. When I ran dads trucks any new driver that said he needed 2 weeks bc previous job I respected and waited eventhough I needed driver right now.

    Never gave notice ever untill I quit my last company. They were a 12 truck outfit and I knew my leaving would hurt them a little.
