Swift: Best way to quit?

Just quit when going on hometime. Turn truck in at a terminal.

 

Have you fulfilled your 'contract' with them, or are you gonna owe them a lump sum for CDL school? They can mess with your CSA depending on many factors. If you elaborate a bit, we can give you some better advice. Best luck, anyways.

 

If you are t under any contract then I'd just go turn the truck In and walk. They go through so many drivers, they don't care about you or the next guy. Don't feel any dedication or anything towards them because it's not mutual.

 

They can't mess with your CSA. Maybe your DAC but go to a small company that doesn't even know what DAC is and you're good

 

Then I'd just turn the truck In

 

^^^^ Yeop. Just take pictures of how you dropped it off, so they don't try to come back on you for damages you didn't cause.
And don't quit under a load, of course.
Abandonment sure would go on your DAC.

 

1. Locate next job.

2. Request hometime to clear your stuff out of the truck.

3. TURN IN TRUCK!!! Preferably at closest terminal, however be aware that the company (which doesn't give a rat's hind end about you or your plans) is within their prerogative to request (demand) that you turn the truck in at another terminal. It doesn't happen often, but it does happen. You WILL be loaded in to turn the truck in, and you ARE responsible for the freight unless and until you are officially relieved of duty.

4. Ensure the truck is reasonably clean, go through the FULL check-in procedure (mechanic inspection and sign off, turn in keys, fuel card, and any company property in your possession) and request (demand...politely) a signed reciept.

5. Go home. Generally, you are on your own at this point, so be sure to have the financial resources to cover a cab.amd bus or plane fare or a rental car.

6. Move on to better things.

It's a long, frustrating process and can be a real PITA but in the end, it's worth it. Your professional reputation is eve r y bit as important as your clean license and clean driving record. If they get snotty, take the high road and refuse to stoop so low. It will pay dividends in the future.
