    Depends on the company. Some will, some won't. But I wouldn't give them the chance to not pay. Take a week off, and notify them of your departure after you've collected your vacation money.

    Take the week off and get your twic, hazmat and replacement job, then go back and give notice. Negotiate with them on truck return. Tell em you'll train the incoming replacement driver on your routes, if they find one fast enough. This way you can get dropped off somewhere thats more convenient for you than just the trucks terminal.

    Many tanker outfits pay you to get Hazmat and TWIC. They also have all the training you need get a hold of them

    Yikes, arrangements to park at a tow company’s yard... my feelings for you bro...

    I work for a tow company. We have 1 large yard where we used to do this and as possibly happened to you, the company quit paying. Ended up being an accounting mistake but huge pain for the drivers. The heavy wrecker across the gate, looks like a Century 75 ton, good ol standard procedure (amazing what folks will do to gates).

    Hopefully they didn’t give you any grief accessing the truck. Personal belongings should be accessible anytime by law in most states.

    Hope all works out for you, happy thanksgiving,
    Jeff
