Very good advice.Make sure you have all your money before they know you are quitting.I came in on payday once with a company that no longer exists JMS Truckline of Jackson,MS.I cleaned out my truck late at night without witnesses and went home for a week and got my last check.They called and asked if I had quit and I said no I just don't have enough money to get back to Jackson if you will send me the money you owe me when I bought fuel on my debit card I can return.They said ok and sent me a com check for $250 after I cashed that check I mailed their fuel card to them with a happy face on a sticky note that said " MO Money "

In 7 yrs and 800,000 to 850,000 miles of driving I only drove for one DAC reporting company.

The almight DAC doesn't scare me since I wouldn't normally drive for a large company.

I've been driving on and off since 1985. I just requested my DAC this year and it has a parking ticket on it. I've had about 20 jobs, more tickets than I will mention (courtesy of the 'Chicken Trucks' I became so fond of) and several accidents. But I suppose, that is going to change when CSA2010 starts to do something in....2020??

I stopped giving notice because most of the companies would screw me when I told them I was quitting, either no miles or withholding pay. I bet all totaled up, I got about $10,000 owed in back pay, but what you gonna do?
Did anyone say "take pictures of your POS truck BEFORE you take possession"? I've gotten some real roaches in my time, and was asked how/why I did certain things to the truck that were already there when I got it!!

So you are pissed off and crazy mad at your company, you're gonna quit and show them what you think!

Hold On! protect you DAC and your bank account.

1. Never abandon your truck or equipment.
2. Ask for time off at the yard location.
3. Continue being a 'good' driver employee.
4. When back at the yard clean out your truck.
5. Go Home or hotel, arrange transport if you don't have a car at the yard.
6. Watch for the next few days to ensure your pay is deposited in bank or take it off the comdata card.
7. When all pay recieved go to yard and get truck inspected.
8. Quit respectfully however much it sucks.
9. You can scream and shout and think you feel great but you are shooting yourself in the foot.

I've quit my share of companys over my 11 years of driving..the one that to this day still on my Dac to this day happened back in 04...I quit without notice.. cleaned the truck out there at the yard and took my happy arse home.. here's why I quit after being on the road for a month stright I build up 4 days off I took them 4 days off with my g/f at the time. after 4 days I came back to work. I was on my way to maryland to pick up my load & take it to Indiana on my way to the pick up my g/f calls me to tell me her father just passed away & would like me there for the funeral. I said not a problem since my load was going right passed the yard anyway in Ohio. this all happened on a monday afternoon. my load was due on thursday. I was driving I got a call from dispatch on Tuesday telling me I just came off hometime & they had no one to cover the load so I had to take it no matter what..I was ticked. in the end I delivered my load early & turned around & said typed I QUIT in the moron box & drove the the 230 miles back to the Ohio yard & cleaned the truck out & went to my g/f's father funeral..

Don't worry about it just keep your driving record clean with no accidents or any speeding tickets plenty of companies that will hire you GUARANTEED when they need a driver with experience they just overlook the dac report.
