    Have another job already.
    Working on getting to home terminal.

    Should I give a notice or not?

    Gosh, you all make it sound like leaving SWIFT is trying to escape a cult or something.

    Personally, I would if time permits; ie: will your new job 'wait' for you if Swift decides to run you for 3 more weeks before they route you home? Do you have home-time accrued, to some degree? There's so many parameters.
    Are you thinking of just dead-heading back to the terminal?

    That is really sad then. If guys feel like that trying to leave, I can't imagine what it's like trying to remain motivated enough to stay.

    I gave two weeks notice at Swift.

    no drama to it, worked my last two weeks and took a load to my home terminal. Turned the truck in and that's that.
