How screwed am I from rocky job history?

One driver in Henderson, NV went through Roehl cdl program and likes it and does well financially.

 

If any of those jobs were working for a friend or family just have them cover your time and drop the other 8.
They weren’t (I’m assuming) driving jobs where you were subject to drug testing.

It’s not rocket science so don’t overthink it. Have one employer cover your time.

 

My son just got hired for a food service in Vegas. Out of the top 10 applicants, they chose him top of the list because of his work history, 10 years with his last company. The recruiter made sure he knew why he was chosen.

 

Companies don't like job hopping. They invest time and money in a training a driver. Unfortunately, you found this out after the fact. Someone will hire you, and you will need to suck it up and stay with them for a year or more

 

Don't pay attention to reviews. Reading reviews about trucking only fuels procrastination of getting your career started. In trucking, all you gotta do is figure out how a company operates, and adjust to them. At that point, you can create your won story within those parameters. Trucking is all about what you put into it, nothing else. If you have the right attitude, willing to learn, and follow the "-ity formula," you will be just fine

-ity formula: Availabil-ity + Reliabil-ity + Adaptabil-ity = Longev-ity

 

You know, if a labor market is tight and you need money, it's possible. I worked for a couple (non-driving) jobs only long enough to find something better. I'd rather work a cr@p job than sit at home counting the weeks until unemployment insurance runs out...
One year, I worked one place for 6 months, a slightly-better paying place for 4 months, then got a job with a place that looked good, only for it to fail about 2 years later. So, I just lied, and gave the bankrupt company's info, and made the dates cover that entire period. Who's gonna tell them otherwise.
FWIW, the term "temp job" or "contract position" work wonders for short-term employment.
