Job Hopper???

Here's the situation. I am a new driver, about to reach my 6-month OTR experience mark. The idea was to put in at least 1-yr w/ Schneider and after that go work for another company that offers a better deal. So far I can't complain about Schneider. The only problem I have w/ them is working the Dollar General account. It's not really the unloading part that's the problem (even though I must say, it's a pain in the you know what). But when it comes to hometime, DG really screws me over because their system doesn't work w/ the Schneider Flex Fleet Program. Target, JC Penney, Home Depot, Chets, have all been good. Dollar General is the problem. It really pushes me to the point of looking elsewhere. Now my question is this...
Being a new guy, without wanting to reputation of a job-hopper (because nobody will want to hire a job-hopper), should I just suck it up until my year is up or is 6 months enough time for me to look elsewhere for something better? Experienced drivers, I really need your input on this because you guys know the industry better than anyone else.

 

That is also a great option. My only concern is not getting decent pay and not enough miles. In the flex fleet program, I get $850wk, weather I drive, sit and wait at a shipper, or just plain wait for a load. It's great steady pay for a newbie just starting out, compared to a lot of newbies complaining they don't get enough miles or pay. Might have to talk to other dedicated drivers in the company and find out how it's going for them. Thanks for your response.

 

So I guess 6 months is not enough to look for a better job. If that's the case, then I'll suck it up. But if it's not, I definitely want to look for something better. Hope everything works out for you in your new company. Thanks for your response.

 

If you don't mind me asking, what did Schneider to do you to make you quit?
