Returning truck at terminal

Do not accept that load no matter what they tell you. Fill your tanks before they shut off your fuel card. Now the arguing starts. Tell them which terminal you are going to . They can get a load going that direction . Stick to your guns you'll get there.

 

this is why, if i ain't said it a thousand times, i said it a MILLION TIMES...

I DO NOT GIVE ANY NOTICE I AM QUITTING.

if you have to get home on your dime,, just park the truck right now, and get home.

 

Exactly what I'd do. What are they gonna do, fire ya?

 

Have heard of the cops being called... Company says the driver no longer works for them and is refusing to return thier property as they instructed. Therefore driver is in possession of a stolen vehicle.

 

Also,whichever terminal you go to after you return the truck PHOTOGRAPH EVERYTHING(exterior and interior of the truck and trailer)! Your soon to be former employer might try to withhold your last check (illegal but some companies do try this anyway) for “damages to equipment” but with photographic evidence you can show otherwise in case of possible litigation.

 

Get all your crap out of the truck. Tell them you are going home for earned hometime.

After a week call them up, tell them your wife is sick and bedridden and she needs you to take care of her. Nobody else can do it and you can't return to work.

By this time you should have received your final check. Never go back. Don't answer their calls. Check your DAC a month later make sure it's clean.

 

AMEN Trucking isn't like other industries and most other jobs aren't like it use to be! Never tell a trucking company you're quitting ! but do return their truck to a terminal, take pictures with date of the entire truck trailer(inside and out{which you should do when its issued to you too}] and thank GOD if you ever get your last check from any of them! What's up with these truck drivers working for 2 weeks in the hole anyways? and some companies are trying to get a sucker to take every two weeks pay! Listen go into trucking with your eyes open dont trust anything you're told by a recruiter! protect your self at all times! document everything! i even take pictures of my Elogs during the day(change my log and I am gonna have proof! this treat you like family thing in trucking is the biggest scam I have seen in my 61 yrs of life! the next one you're a name and not a number! the only number I care about is the amount on my check! you can call me Larry if you want just pay me as agreed on time and for the correct amount! and you can keep your sign on bonus too, Give me the miles and I'LL make my own bonus! CYA Truckers for those that don't know COVER YO ###! In trucking it best to remember Murphy's law if there is anyway for something to go wrong it probably will! Get your money, stay safe and live long and prosper!

 

thats why I dont tell them #### put in home time and take it there when you go home! thats why I won't drive for a company that doesn't have a terminal in my home state! or within a reasonable distance from home! I always try to drive my own car to orientation also! i have seen what has happened to some drivers having to get there own way home and being stranded far anyway from home! We grown never leave yourself at anyone mercy! always have an exit plan Semper Fi

 

You wouldn't be a very good lawyer.
