    It's a good guideline. I would also suggest that time with an employer be taken into account...i.e., if you get paid weekly, but have been with the employer for longer than a couple years, I'd up the notice to 2 weeks. Of course, it depends on what your job entails, too. I think maybe those guidelines are a bit overkill if you're sweeping the floors & cleaning toilets versus controlling departments or managing a large, involved process.

    In short (if it's not too late for that!), use your brain for something besides keeping your skull from imploding when you give notice. There's really no hard & fast rule. If you aren't concerned about a reference, who cares what notice you give?

    I ask everyone how many weeks would you want to be given ? If the company is going to fire you do they give a notice ? Now I have always given a notice but it is dependent on when I start my next job as to how long.

    well, I also think a lot depends on your relationship with your boss. On good terms then give them 2 weeks(IMO) request to be able to work that time in full, BUT have it set with the job you are going to to start early if needed. CYA!!!! CYA!!!!

    backhauls on a home daily dedicated can be a scary prospect. Apparently we snagged a ch robinson load that was scheduled to be live loaded last wednesday. Live unload too, for tomorrow. dropped as a relay in obetz. DBl then messaged after stating I may run that anyway after my scheduled run tomorrow to cleveland. BUT I ran saturday preventing 34 hr reset so I am running recap this week. end of tomorrow after picking up 9h24m I'll have an estimated 20 hours on my 70 and then next two days where I dont gain any( sat two days last week, loads postponed!!!)

    apparently OOR will no longer be a factor for bonus. they supposed to be changing OOR to MPG.

    I plan out my days the night before. When it comes to parking, I run early hours, so my day usually ends before 6pm. I have 2 options for my day planned out. The near one, if I am running slow or get tired early, and the farther one based on what I prefer to get done in a day. I make it a point not to run more than 8.5 to 9hrs a day, so I never have to do a 34 hour reset while on the road. I stay out 3 weeks at a time, so I am running recap hours for 2 weeks. I have pretty good stamina, so I usually only stop once a day. Unless I am running around switching up live loads/unloads or other delays, the majority of my days are only 10-11 hours. Back to the question, I am usually parking so early in the day that I have my pick of spots.

    I prefer running early for that reason as well. Parked later than I wanted tonight, but I'm in Iowa, so still had pretty much my choice of spots.

    Same here, I hate looking for spots so I start early. I actually do 12-13 hours a day, mainly cause I'm out for 5 days so restart every week. I would do 14/day if I know 100% I'm going to make it home on the fifth day. I'm in iowa too lol plenty of empty spots around here

    Same here. There is no reason to do a 34hr restart on the road. A little bit of time management goes a long way. And you can still run 3k miles a week legally.
