Do you put a job that lasted 2 months on your resume if you were terminated?

Where did I say that? You need to learn how to read, buddy. I NEVER said that.

I can read. I have a real problem with people that come into a forum and give members bad information. Then when called out on it, make things up and say that I've said things I never said in order to make a straw man argument that I never stated.

This is so true, no "if's", "and's", or "but's" about it.
1) I currently work for a major retail chain. One complaint from a customer, or getting caught in a "sting" operation, (alcohol or tobacco sale to a minor), can get any employee immediately fired, regardless of position in the store or company.
2) It took me a long time to do this, but I did manage to stash away the equivalent of both 6 months pay & 6 months rent, just in case something like this does happen to me. Also, after a long time, almost all of my bills & debts are fully paid off. This really takes a lot of stress & weight off of one's shoulders, (both figuratively & literally speaking).
3) I am getting close to full Social Security retirement age. In 5 weeks, I will be 66, (born 10/1/1956). In 5 months, (2/1/2023 - 66 years 4 months), I will be at full Social Security retirement age. Providing that I do not get laid off, terminated, or otherwise let go, I am going to try to work at least another 1 to 2 years before retiring & applying for Social Security retirement benefits. The same holds true for other retirement benefits: I.R.A. plus an insurance annuity that I have also contributed to over the years.

God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!

The absolute sheer driving force of our national economy - without truck drivers, our entire national economy would come to an absolute standstill - if not outright be dead.

Over the mountains, through the woods, into the valleys, coast to coast, from sea to shining sea - truck drivers can and do go anywhere and everywhere, every day, every night, all year round.

 

Put that you quit the job. Nobody calls anybody. I put that I quit Schneider even though I was “terminated”. But I made my year so maybe that plus my MVR told a different story.

 

Maybe posted?
Didn’t read

but some of these companies are using some app that shows every place you’ve been

Last year I switched companies and was at the previous one for 8 years but left for like 6 weeks

Didn’t put that down but it was on this platform
Wasn’t a big deal. I only left due to way to much paperwork in our modern age

 

I had a retired Va. State Trooper and DOT man relay to me that some "offenses" fail to get recorded on your record. In passing information, humans are involved and all of us make mistakes or get lazy. The information comes in on a driver about quitting time or on a Friday afternoon and the clerk says, "oh I will take care of this tomorrow or first thing on Monday", come Monday, it is forgotten about. I know this doesn't usually happens, but it does at times.

 

Nobody calls anybody?

This week, I have contacted no less than 20 prior employers via fax, email, or telephone call. Perhaps nobody calls anybody at places you don't want to work at, but the places you want to be? We contact EVERYBODY.

 

Most previous employers will only state that John Doe was employed from such a such to such a such, good-bye.

 

No they don't. Not legally anyway.
There is a list of information that, by law, they have to give.
Employment dates, failed drug tests, wrecks, and I'd have to look up what else.

 

They get all that information elsewhere. I know when I worked for a major LTL carriers all they would give out are dates of employment.
