Lie about experience?

As some of you know I started out working for Swift Transportation which I went through their CDL School as well. Just recently I went through the company site to locate my Official Hire & Seperated dates so when I fill out applications my dates are in order. Swift has my Hire date as 03/09/2016 & my separated date as 06/04/2016. I left Swift in April because I didn't like being OTR & away from
Family so I came to Schneider pulling tanks as a regional driver. My Hire date with Schneider is 05/23/2016. I have no idea why Swift has my seperated date in their system as 06/04/2016 maybe because I left & they thought I was coming back to work for them, which I didn't. So my question is should I be honest when I put the dates on a new application from Swift to only show a month of employment or should I "lie" and try for 2 months? Just curious. I couldn't put down that I stayed until 06/04/2016 because then I'm sure they employer would want to know how I was employed by Swift and working for Schneider at the same time. Any Advice?? I don't mind waiting my full year but just curious as to what others think or would do.

 

I was thinking this exact same thing! Would that be a coincident that I started Schneider the next day? Or is that only if the employer asks?

 

I wouldn't say job hopping but my plan from the beginning was to get a year then be local. It took 2 companies to do so, so yea. I was planning to stay 1 full year with Schneider because I thought other Tanker companies would want 1 full year of Tanker experience but now that I'm looking at different companies all they want is 1 year of driving experience. So 9 months with Schneider & A month with Swift would only leave me 2 months to go! Unless of course I "lied" & got an extra month from Swift. But either way after a year I'm trying to be local Hauling tanks!
