    All time, not just employment. There can be no gaps in history more than 30 days

    I guess this must be a favourable job market for employees. I started at the height of the “great” recession and it took 300 applications to land a single job in that market as a new driver.

    That job was absolutely crap but I stuck it out for 18 months because I wasn’t at all sure another job would be in the pipeline in 2010.

    You’ve worked for more companies in 9 months than I have in 9 years. Care to elaborate on what happened?

    Inexperience about trucking. I really want to drive. I realize I to just stay with a company. So they will find out if lie I about how many trucking jobs I had?

    Yes, they will find out what's on your MVR, DAC, etc. You'll have to disclose all these places you've worked, or take the chance with omitting some which you could be terminated for down the line if your new employer discovers that.

    One of the worst things you can do as a prospective employee, is show up as a job hopper. Stability is key these days, find a place and stick it out awhile, better doors will open after that. Good luck

    A lot depends on who these prior carriers are and how far into the hiring phase you got with them. If you got assigned a truck and/or they were a larger carrier, you probably left a trail for future carriers to see on a background check such as any filings with DAC, drug screens, etc

    I would be more concerned with the larger outfits posting pre-hire and post-hire activity for others to see.

    What seems to be the issue with each company? Why are you not liking the few you've tried so far?
