    Just got off the phone with one of their recruiters, honestly didnt sound to bad. And because of the abandonment being over 3 years ago they arent to worried about it

    Somehow I missed this whole conversation in my thread. Lol
    I didn’t feel Nova was shaming me, and I wasn’t offended by his questions and remarks. But thank you lazer for steering it back before it got to carried away

    Thanks for trying to come to some ones defense. Personally I didn’t feel that Nova was shaming me. He was kinda pointing out the obvious, although yet irrelevant. Lol
    At this point it doesn’t matter if I did it or not, for me it’s a matter of where can I work until I can get this straightened out.
    In all honesty I could have prevented this from being on there if I hadn’t trusted my dispatcher when I left. So I’m the future I’ll always make sure if I depart a company the truck will be at their yard regardless
     
    FlaSwampRat Thanks this.

    I was pretty sure I had answered this but maybe not. Sometimes parts of the thread don’t show up when switching from phone to computer.

    No I didn’t leave the equipment at the companies terminal. But I had made arrangements through dispatch. There was another driver in my area that had a truck that was down and would be in the shop for an extended time. So I was told to park at an agreed location between my area and this other driver and to make sure it was cleaned correctly so the drive could transfer into my truck. So that’s what I did. In my mind this arrangement was an agreement that would mean where I left my truck was authorized therefor not abandoned

    Things have changed since I was steady running the lower 48, but when I was running the big road, drivers were always talking between themselves, and most always had an idea of where they would like to go or not at any and all times. They knew which companies run in a way that was somewhat of a match for the way they wanted to run.

    The way it has changed, I guess it is a good thing we have the internet. lol
