Early next week, I will have been an OTR driver for Ÿ of a year.
I wasn't going to apply at the place I plan to go to next, until I had a
year in, but they placed an add in the paper and I could not resist.
However, I still might wait 3 more months before making the change.
I would like to leave the company I am with now, without burning any
bridges. Is there a trick to that or is it just "Thanks and here is my
two
weeks notice?"
TIA

Two weeks notice? Why?
Because it's proper etiquette, st00pid. It also allows you to leave the
company on good terms.
Do they give you two weeks notice when they terminate you?
*boggle*
Apply with the company now, get the green light to go, then tell the
current
company to route you home so you can turn the truck in.
It's best if you simply turn the truck in empty so they're not worrying
about having to deliver the load.
Just tell them you got a better job elsewhere.
Yea and fuck up any references for the near future. Great job, nimrod.

When you do turn the truck in, make sure you have the head mechanic go
over
it with you so that you don't get zapped later for some bullshit charges.
If you can, take pictures of the truck as you turn it in.

St00pid doesn't have any idea on what it is to leave a company because he has a
better job lined up. Obviously, he's been fired from every job he's ever had or
he would understand the courtesy involved in giving a notice.
