I agree. First one better have a damn good explanation. Number 2 would have their truck back. Period. Have to know when to cut your losses, write stuff off and move on.

Depending on the cost there jon, if I had that amount of money on me, I'd just get to the nearest airport and fly home, prolly be a tiny bit cheaper and a whole lot quicker. Agree on delivering the load though, I'm not getting paid whether I deliver it or not so eff it as long as it can't come back to bite me as being hijacked or stolen if I leave it with the truck somewhere.

Yeah, for sure. It is a cost/benefit thing. I'd see which is cheaper. However, if it was near the cost I would drive. A lot of drivers have too much gear or pets to allow another easier way home. Plus, the satisfaction of parking the truck at your house and making them pay to come and get it after screwing me would make up for any additional cost.

I wonder how much "missing" gear there was. If I had not been paid for a month and then was stranded like these guys I'm not sure I just wouldn't have sold chains, binders and stuff to put fuel in the truck and went home. When they repo the truck and drive it off how are they going to inventory the gear on the truck? You can claim it was all there when it was towed.

Nice to see that they're being taken to federal court over this, along with the class-action lawsuits of the drivers. But, they won't get anything...
