Is it bad to keep switching job as opportunities arrive?

If you need the job, you need the job. How many jobs have you had? In how much time?

 

Honestly that doesn't sound bad. The way your first post sounded. I was thinking 6 months experience and several jobs.

 

Yes, it is bad. Do it as few times as possible and don't believe ads for trucking companies. Stay put until you have enough information about a company you know exactly what job you will be doing, how much you will be making, and the conditions you will be working with.

You can make a career job hopping, but you will be confined to the companies that hire job-hoppers. Hopping from job to job never makes you a better candidate at the companies where many of their drivers stay until they retire. Every job is harder when you first start than after you have seniority and familiarity. By switching you increase the time in your career dealing with chaos and changes.

 

You quit a job because one paycheck was too small? Trucking companies rarely promise anything. Is it possible they said something like "you CAN make $1500" or "most drivers are making $1500"? If the company has a weekly guarantee they also have conditions that must be met to get the guarantee. Sometimes they may require you are available for work X days, or you accept every assignment, or you use as least X number of On-Duty hours, or X number of miles.

 

Stay where you are until you can talk to drivers at another company, doing the kind of work you want to do, and find out the pay, conditions, and benefits for doing that job. You are better off staying at a place a little longer until you find the right company for you than you are switching every time you don't get what you are expected.
