Hometime Parking lot mess. Truck held by lot owner.

Finally got my truck back and finishing my load.

We're still working on an alternative parking spot. I'm using Loves for now.

I might stick around with the company long enough to finish my year in 3 months and look into the Hazmat and TWIC. I might go for Superior Carriers.

 

Update:

Well, I'm still with this company. I decided to hold out to have one complete year which I basically have now.

Interestingly, my current dispatcher has decided to quit which is a bummer because she was easy to deal with and professional. This means I'll go back under another dispatcher who is a micromanaging weirdo I used to work with who kept calling me on the phone for every little thing instead of using our onboard computer. I'm feeling that it's time to move on. ( It's actually been time, but wanted the full year on my work history. )

I'm debating whether to hurry and signup for another job or take a break. I've worked hard to cleanup my work history having just worked for PTI and Veriha over the last 3 years. It would be nice while not working to get my Hazmat and TWIC done.



One other issue is this company never found a replacement parking space. I've been leaving it at a truck stop nearby. When I signed up, I picked it up at the lot in Mobile, but now that is gone so I can't return it the way I got it. I'm wondering if to avoid 'abandonment' I have to leave it at the nearest terminal which would be Jacksonville, FL or Albany, GA and take a plane or bus home.

 

Okay, this is annoying but I think you're right. My current dispatcher gave 2 weeks notice so I'll talk to them about this situation.

I could probably get a ride from the terminal office to catch a bus or plane or whatever is most convenient. Maybe just do a car rental.

 

Oh yeah, I was just thinking I have a week of accrued vacation time I haven't used. Do quitting drivers just get that on the last paycheck as a standard practice?
