    Its up to the individual company you are hiring with. The company you quit may report on ypur DAC, quit under dispatch. They may not. Dont volunteer that ypu quit under dispatch, but dont lie if asked about it. When asked why you quit, tell them why, but dont volunteer anymore than that.

    I've read conflicting reports while reading this thread.

    I had quit under dispatch twice within the last 4 years because I was offered a better paying job.

    The 2nd time was unavoidable, I did give the company advanced warning, I did give them a "2 week" notice, but the lone dispatcher called me and informed me to "stop threating to quit", which I did place in Qualcomm in August of 2018. It got so bad, that my last check of 2018 was a measily $53! Yes, you read that last sentence correct, I got a measily $53 check the week of Christmas.

    Also, my miles and pay were fluxing each and every week. From $250 to $485 per week, but to see a $53 check? No thanks!

    I'd be careful, you keep burning bridges it will eventually catch up to you. It's one thing to quit with little to no notice but to be stiffing them while under a dispatch is pretty low IMO.

    None of the figures above you posted are good anyhow... I would have advised them of my departure not long after I started if I was seeing checks that low.

    IF your a newbie starting out and you work for a company for a year. Then one day you quit under dispatch it would be very hard for you to find a truckin job..
