i could understand the new direction, but leaving one trucking company that you have three years with just to start all over again with new company, how many times do you think your gonna wish you stayed at the old company?

Actually....freight seems to be picking up, my checks are up, AND I've been home 4 out of the last 5 week-ends. Although...Monday will be the third in a row to drop in Laredo. There...the faces have changed but the sitting for 2 days for a load back out remains the same....

i've always found out, regardless of the situation, if you are leaving one company for another, the switch had BETTER be worth it. Guess it all depends on the environment you have in your current job. Are you so stressed that you KNOW you're leaving, and that stress is taking a toll so much that you've GOT to find something new? If you know you'll NEVER go back to working for that company AND/OR working in that industry again, i'd leave making a grand exit. such as...YouTube - best way to quit your job
but as far as trucking goes, IF you and your DM are cool, give him a heads up. ask him to hold off telling his FM or TM, if he wont, then screw em. If you KNOW you're leaving the company and already have your next job lined up/hired etc....i'd clean the truck out on the last pass thru your home, then take it to the terminal, under load or not, and explain you have a problem with your truck, they'll take the load off you, get the mechanics to start looking at your truck 'looking' for whats wrong with it. After an hour of your truck being in the shop.....THEN go into your DM....toss him the keys, and tell him to go F himself.
