What Would You Do?

So you abandoned a truck? May god have mercy on your career.....

 

Waited till I had another job to quit.

I will usually endure until I find something better. I always land on my feet and try to minimize burning bridges.

You burned that bridge good. A man would have held his honor and dealt with it a bit more responsibly.

I can't say i blame the guy. But yeah, thanks to DAC. You've got a long climb ahead of you now.

STay away from the megas and you'll be allright, though.

When it comes to DAC, megas aren't worth working for. But that's my $.02

 

So...they were going to pay you to do nothing and you quit?

 

Was the breakdown pay spelled out clearly at hire or orientation time?

 

God have mercy on you for quitting.

You stood to make what? 8 days worth of 10 dollars an hour sitting on ###? I sat for 4 days once in two hotels and 5 tractors to get through the original break down. All of it paid at 10.00 an hour from 4 PM day one through 2 pm day five nights included. That was enough money to make me happy that week.

You are not going to get anywhere in this industry if you cannot show endurance and fortitude to wait as long as necessary FOR YOUR TRUCK TO BE FIXED.

It's YOUR TRUCK #### it. You should OWN that truck and take care of it as you will take care of a wife for crying out loud. Don't you understand what it is to be responsible and stay through whatever life throws at you as a Agent of a Company who entrusted you with a 100K tractor trailer with god knows how much freight waiting on you to be fixed? ####### these young people dont have any endurance and quit because they lay around a week. Sheesh.

Q : I have used many services to look for a driving job but I'm having no luck at all. What would keep me from finding a truck driving job?

If you are having more difficulties than normal, there may be something in your driving record, MVR or DAC that is holding you back. The following are examples of items that might keep a company from contacting you for employment:

1 or more felonies in your lifetime
A drug related felony conviction
10 years or older felony conviction
Child pornography related conviction
Convicted of a violent crime
Firearm related conviction
Murder / Rape / Misconduct / Burglary / Robbery / Capital Theft conviction
Assault & Battery
Conviction/ investigated / or suspected of involvement in of terrorist activities
Currently on probation or parole
More than $5,000 of damage from a preventable accident in last 5 years
3 or more moving violations in last 3 yrs
3 or more preventable accidents in last 5 years
Truck abandonment in last 5 years
License suspension is less than 3 years old
1 or more moving violations over 15 mph in last 3 years
A DUI/DWI within the last 5 years or more than 2 DUI/DWIs ever.
Fired in the last 5 years
Ever failed a drug screen

 

Probably should not have quit but rather just fly home and leave it as "let me know when I can go back and get it". Then when it's been long enough at home you can ease into them with "I need to work here ..." and leave the company that way. I understand it sucks but you did leave them high and dry ...
