Someone w/ experience in resigning from a trucking co. pls help!

I plan to bring it to the closest terminal and give someone keys. Just make sure it is someone from WERNER , not the homeless guy that hangs around outside the main gate.

 

Do you even really work for WERNER your posts are going in circles , you ask for advice , then respond with replies to your own questions !

 

Ok just be man about it , remember they were good enough to take a chance on you.

Call them ask when / where you can drop the truck off , take pictures of it so no damage claims are against you, turn in all the paperwork you might have , get management to sign off and be on your way.

 

It sounds like you have to be upset about something that happened within the last few days, on top of other stuff. Like Flatbedder said though, you gotta man up right now and get your head straight! Just tell them you want to turn your truck in. Whats the worst that can happen? If you're so close to Allentown, they'll send you there most likely. Deadheading costs too much for them to send you to some weird location just to mess with you. It's Werner, how personally do you think they're going to take it?

Line up a job first! The guys telling you to not put up with crap and quit immediately are guys with experience that can get any job they want right now. You are a first year driver quitting after a couple months on the road. You'll likely get another job, but what are you going to do, trade up to Swift..? Just clear your head and make the smart decisions.

 

Tell them your quitting & your driving the truck to the terminal. Refuse to take a load.

 

And like others have said, take pictures of EVERYTHING the exact way you leave it at the terminal, where you left it at with any buildings or signs around showing exactly the spot you left it in, inside, outside, motor, windows/windshield, also take pictures of the MILEAGE and FUEL GAUGE so they cant try to come back on you for fuel or mileage by claiming they had to go get it and you left it without fuel, also take notes and write down names/dates of people you turned the keys/fuel cards into

 

I have a good friend of mine he use to drive for werner here is how he quit he went home with the truck, he went to orientation with us express at the time he is taking his hometime and after orientation he was waiting to get assigned to a truck he swing by the house and he drove the werner truck to the closest terminal and he call them say hey i quit and the truck is at the terminal and the flt mngr was like really dude nd he said sorry sir im driving i can't stay on the phone for no longer than that have a better day and they didn't put nothing on his dac it was crazy but he did it truck # was 56861

 

I drove to the closest terminal, which was in route, while under load and put the truck in the shop. Truck was red tagged for a cracked windshield, and I knew it would be red tagged for it (exactly why I took it to the shop). Let dispatch know that my truck was put OOS and they pulled the load from me and gave it to a guy that needed it to get home. I was the only one that knew I was quitting until my truck was tagged and the load was covered... Then, everyone knew!

No one had a problem with it. I went home, and they put someone else in the truck, I'm sure.
They told me to keep the Comdata card, and payroll would load whatever they owed me onto it. Come payday, I got my money... And for poops and giggles, I checked the balance on the card the next payday as well... They loaded my bonus on there too! All in all, it went pretty smooth even tho it was a surprise for them. I didn't receive any threats, or bad attitudes. No harsh feelings, and didn't have to fight anyone for $ that was owed.

If they were to make a better offer than what I'm currently getting, i might consider it!
