Your DAC report couldn’t have been as bad as the 3 that quit while in Colorado lol
That was a seriously messed up move when they sold to Swift.

Tell the company you're with that you want to take hometime near a terminal and that your S.O. is coming to pick you up for a mini vacation. They won't dispatch you and you'll have a day or two to clean out your stuff. (That's what I did...)
CruzControhl and x1Heavy Thank this. -
I remember when I was still a virgin trucker. So innocent. So hopefull and wide eyed. So out of touch with reality.
My first trucking job was Werner and I finally got hired by a local company after 10 months at Werner. I gave my 2 week notice. The next day I picked up a load in Austin and they had me drop it at the Dallas yard. I thought it was just a terminal transfer. As soon as I got there the guard cut my company ID badge in half and told me to clean out the truck and exit their property in 2 hours or cops will remove me.
I live in Maine. This was Dallas.
Had to pack what I could carry with me and everything else I gave away. This seriously pissed me off. I had to walk all the way out of the terminal and to the truck stop a block away. Call my mom and have her buy a plane ticket that day (expensive!) and took a cab to the airport.
Never give 2 weeks notice for nothing.bzinger, CruzControhl, sevenmph and 8 others Thank this. -
That tells you a lot about Werner! I gave notice every time I've moved on. But I did take care to do it while physically at my home terminal just in case. But in each case I've remained eligible for rehire.

Wow. The stories are crazy. I have given a two week notice at every job i’ve ever held. I was always prepared to walk at a moments notice. Ie: truck was already cleand out, I was traveling light. I’ve worked the full two weeks every single time.
What may help that is the only job i quit because it sucked was CR England. The other two were to advance my carrer. I was always taught that it’s a small world & you never burn your bridges. You never know paths may cross again.CruzControhl, BigDog Trucker, dunchues and 1 other person Thank this. -
I always give 2 weeks notice. I drive OTR so I need to turn in the truck. The company I hated driving for the most I actually went back to 3 months later. Once I decided to quit I quit doing the crap I hated and don't have to do. I found nothing happened. Without that it wasn't such a bad job.

When I was laid off from my steel hauling job I wound up at PFS(McLane). When I got called back I gave my notice at PFS and they actually offered to keep me as a casual, I stayed on their list for another 5 years.
They finally stopped calling me because I was turning them down too often...
When the steel company closed, I went with a clothing distributor, which was just ok. After another steel company "recruited" me, gave my notice, and the clothing outfit actually had me train my replacement...
Last year I got fed up with second steel company but still gave them a week...
This year I decided to retire, but gave my current employer 2 weeks (that stretched out to a month) and they're still offering whatever work I want...(maybe 1 day/wk)CruzControhl, Canadianhauler21, UturnGirl and 2 others Thank this.
