Proper etiquette, quitting one company, starting with another?

I never gave more than a weeks notice. They don't give you a notice when they fire you. If I already had another job, it was this,,,Johnny Paycheck got it right,,

 

Back in the day, 2 weeks was the norm. While some companies, especially the smaller ones appreciate a notice. Most companies don't, you will get the crap loads, the people who aren't leaving will get the good ones. While you may feel loyal to the company you started with, your a body to fill a seat. Unless you plan on going back, I would turn the truck in and move to your new home

 

Talk to me about it first. Then, give 2 weeks notice if you still want to leave.

Small 10 truck company.

 

I'm sure it is in your paperwork.
2 wks notice not required.
Position is at Will......
Make sure everything is "straight" with you and the Company.
Request return to Home base.
Upon arrival clean your truck GOOD. (Take a few pictures, inside Cab and outside.)
Call the shop for Visual Inspection and delivery paperwork. ( All companies have it).
Then proceed to your Fleet manager and give him the news.
Go to HR and give them the news.
Hope your check makes it to your account. (Check it upon deposit)
Turn the page and start your new adventure...!!

 

I’ve always told a prospective Employer, that I will need to give a two week notice. They should respect that. Shows Responsibility. Then try to get out in 1 week. Start new Job a week early. Everyone’s happy.

 

If you work for a mega, no notice. They will drop you like a lot lizard with no notice.
If you are applying at a good company they won’t call your current employer until you are on your way to orientation or are already there.

 

I believe in brutal honesty.
Yell loud or they won't understand.
Works every time.

 

When I was brand new driving I tried to quit my first trucking company, Werner. Gave them 2 weeks notice. Next day they made me relay my load to the Dallas terminal and upon entry, cut my Werner ID card, and said I had 2 hours to vacate the property or security will remove me.

I had to sell or throw away everything in my truck and then took a taxi to the airport and had to buy a last minute ticket back home to Maine.

These people basically stranded me 2,000 miles from home.

 

Here's your #### want me to leave it somewhere special for the new sucker
