I believe i made a mistake

Ok and both of those links clearly state no charges will be filed on the driver.

It's a civil matter not a criminal matter.

 

It's not against the law to quit as long as you don't do what he did. If you call and quit, obviously you can't take the truck and do what you want with it, and you can't just abandon it anywhere. You call and quit and ask them where they want you to leave the truck, within reason. The article states, "Hall used the semi truck to evade his bosses after demanding a ransom in exchange to the shipment's delivery to Washington state from Arkansas." So after the point that he quit is where the crime took place, not the act of quitting!!

 

Not yet. The article also states that he COULD BE charged with vehicle theft. And given his past history in the pokey I wouldn't be surprised if he does gets charged with GTA-which is almost always a criminal matter.

 

Find that article that says chargers were brought against him.

It's a civil matter.

 

Cheaper to rent a car to get home than to fuel a truck to get home. I would suggest you travel light. Only carry what you can pack in a big duffel bag.

Side note, you are smarter than this. You know this is a not the outfit you want to be associated with.

 

And like I said-NOT YET,as in they're still probably deciding on how to go forward on the issue. Technically,he was still ON PAROLE when this issue came to light.

 

Ok I can read.

The article was from 2014...

Still deciding?

 

Everything else you've said is reason to not work with this company. But these 2..no. a gallon a week of oil is not a safety related concern. Nor air leaks, unless so bad to get the truck failed by dot. Do your post trip properly and if the air leak fails, then refuse to drive until its fixed. Isnt it 3 pounds in 1 minute?

 

Quote one case of a driver quitting under load and being prosecuted and i will buy you a steak dinner. Stealing the load yes. But quitting and informing the company where the truck and trailer is? No. Unless it's hazmat or you left the truck sitting on a rail road track it isn't illegal to quit your job at any time.

Edit to add. Both of those links reference the same driver abandoning a load and trying to ransom it for money. It also says the reefer ran for several weeks before running or of fuel. The only way that happened is if he refused to tell them where the equipment was. That whole ransom thing is not the same as quitting your job under a load and telling your boss where you parked the truck. Just a tiny bit different don't ya think?
