need help load abandonment!

My trainer said that when we get to the destination he would ask for the next run to be a solo run. Is that possible? Would that be considered load abandonment ?

Driver...from that post, sounds like he wants to ditch you and get a load that is without you less I miss understood.

 

Don't remind me!! I lasted about 3 months; filled out those mail-in applications at truckstops and landed a boat hauling job. Took their truck, trailer & load of cat food to the Chattanooga terminal and said "Good bye."

 

I would like to know,My DOT card is good for six months,droctor want to watch my hart condtion.will that be ok with central,when i show up for the driven school next week,.

 

Heck , yes , I remember them ! You remember Ellsworth ? Cab over KWS ? Out of Eagle Grove , Ia ?

 

Son, do what you think is right . If your situation is unbearable , get gone now.
Otherwise , think through what you are contemplating doing . If its still worth it , do it. DAC be dammed.

 

I would come up with some kind of ailment .. Severe headache, dizziness, chest pains, nausea, whatever. Put the ball in the company's court. No one can make you drive. Just sit there until they do something about it.

 

DAC? Are you guys serious? Obviously not!!!

He is a student, a trainee, a rookie! Not responsible for the load (that is not abandoned, the truck is still attached, the truck is still under operation....)

Don't make up stories, just tell the truth and go your own way...you are under NO OBLIGATION ... unless it is CR England, and even then, your obligation is to repay the school loan, not to the load or the trainer!!!

BTW...it isn't "DAC"... "Hire Right"......so since these other "claimed geniuses" don't even know the correct name of the company....THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY SPEAK!

 

^^^All true...I agree with otter

 

settles in with her coffee and watches this one.. MT, have a seat big guy..lets see where this goes

Dogbreath is right. If you were assigned to that truck when he was dispatched on the load, then it would be abandonment. Easiest thing to do is finish the load and get off the truck before they dispatch you on another load. You know, you owe your trainer a word of thanks. If he didnt say anything to you and you'd gotten off the truck, they would have put truck abandonment on your record.

Had something similar happen to a buddy of mine. He and his girlfriend were running team. They got a load out of Washington going to Florida. They stop off to see her kids for the holidays, fiddle fart around for a couple days, and then she decided that she wanted to stay home for a few more days. The company had to change everything and redispatched the load for a solo driver. Of course the load is late.

This is a very interesting thread for several reasons. Lots of times, you see people with big blemishes on their record trying to figure out who will hire them since none of the mega carriers will. You wonder how someone screwed up and got to that point. Well, heres one in the making, gang.

And of course, everyone would really like to hear why this guy is willing to risk any future possibilities of ever driving for any decent company.
