    I have a concern the last two or three weeks are going to be rough like endless days waiting for a load. Doubt they will make something up though

    Basically you have to cover your ### from day one. I have EVERY single copy if my drug test control forms. Tucked away in the event anyone wants to contest my presence at said drug test.

    You should take pictures of your truck, like a 360 degree and of multiple angles when you are issued a truck and when you are turning in a truck.

    I have never had an issue turning in a truck. But if I do I have the photos to say, "no wait here is what it looked like when I left and this is where she was parked at."

    If you're home now why not contact them tomorrow morning and tell them you're resigning?

    Probably not but before your ready to give notice make sure your financially able to go without for cple weeks. And a good rule i always go by is don't say anything in the truck not even on your phone that you wouldn't want them to know. Just a good rule to follow.

    Yeah I know that advice comes off a bit toolish, but it's really not. I believe in handling it that way even if you're leaving a company you like. It's nothing personal against the company--it's just business. Drivers have to do whatever is necessary to protect their property (paycheck) from theft.

    Leave them on good terms. Just explain why you are leaving (about the long drive to work and all)
