    actually, all i can recall was turning in my logs, the exspense sheet, BOL, locking up things, including the gate.

    Your 26 miles from the yard. How far are you from where the load delivers?
    You no your gonna quit, we all do. If your co.oany is that small maybe they dont use dac. Abandoning a load is one of the worst things you can do. It is not a time sensitive load, but if you take it to the yard. Do they have someone who can deliver it, or are you creating a huge headache for them. The answers to those questions, will help determine the outcome.

    I bet the owner is a screamer.
    I had one that would throw his hat on the ground and his hands in the air. Hallelujah! What a clown.

    That's a riggin' fit. Did he drop-kick his hard hat, too? Saw a hooktender do that on the landing one time. He got good distance but he wasn't much on accuracy. We all managed to make it to the other side of the shovel before all the hysterical laughter got started. Never laugh at a man having a riggin fit.

    me too. a former boss would go all out at times.....then i'd look at him and ask..."are you done"?

    when i'd leave the building, another driver told me, that George (that was the bosses name) would kick the waste basket across the room...

    he was told, "buddy won, you lost your cool, and he walked out"......

    They owe him pay for those two days, just the safe way to leave. Maybe you work 2 days for free but I don't.
