Headborg may paint a bleak picture, but he is right. 100% right.
Yes...Headborg is correct .....most negativity is only a true reflection of

this industry

I am on the receiving end of alot of b/s today from my job...

Peoples 'true colors' come out at the wierdest times....

There is not a word in the English language to describe the feeling

one is overcome by as to how bad the people that work for these

companies can actually sux when u get right down to it.

:twisted:

Driving is not bad...people behind it all are sad

I do wish-- that management and labor could work together in a professional manner-- and meet in the middle in mutual respect for a win-win solution without the need for Unions or other collective labor organization. But, it never seems to work--- corporates "Sun Tzu" business strategies dictate the little peasants must scarifice themselves for the good of larger financial interest of company.

no matter what, i always give as much notice as i can or as the company wants.
I want to give them as much time as possible to fill my vacancy, and even offer to train in my replacement. As much as I would like sometimes to just tell them what I really feel, in the end it'll only come back to hurt me. So if the company wants to play their little games, that only gets filed under reasons I won't miss them when I'm gone.

When I gave notice a few years ago for May Trucking, I was in SC coming back to Medford, OR. When I arrived in Payette, ID, I was asked to clean out the Volvo 770 and drive a Freightliner Century that was about to be retired back to the headquarters in Brooks, OR.

This truck was horrid.

No cd player.
Grease on the carpet. I had to find sheets of cardboard to keep my stuff from contacting the grease.
No cruise control. 400+ miles.

I should have said no can do.

Since it is not your truck, you should follow their instructions on where to return the truck, turn in all your required equipment and paperwork and chalk it all up to experience. Simple as that.
