My records are good with over 3 years on the road, its just my employment thats bad, ( had to jump around- short term empolyment ) its the only bad part of my report, ( record ) .. . Anyone know of a company that will hire, a 3 plus year driver, with short trem employment periods,,, mostly i jumped because of low miles, ...

it depends on how many times you have jumped jobs in the last 3 years. if it's 3 times. or one job a year. then you shouldn't have much trouble. if it's more then that. thyen yes you are going to have trouble getting another driving job. about every company doesn't want to see more the 1 job in 3 years. and the most of 5 jobs in 10 years. some will take job hoppers. but not many. think of it like this. if you had to process an application that has 10 jobs in 5 years. and laying under it is an application with 2 or 3 jobs in 5 years. which one would you do? and that is how companies are viewing it now. you might get hired on some where. don't exspect them to treat you too well. or work you too hard. or give you a new truck. there thought are: why should i do this for a driver that may only be here a few months. If you would try staying at your next job for atleast 5 years. then you will only read about the problems other drivers have. and not have the problems of being a job hopper. maybe you should have thought about this the first or second job you had.
don't get angry at me. I am only trying to shed some lite on the matter for you. -
Well, I would stay away from the large companys. Most smaller companys understand that you took the hook from a large company recruiter and being new (less then a few years) your options were limited. Now that you have three years of safe driving you should be good. The safe driving is the only record that really counts.

didnt ask for a lession in trucking ,, i know trucking, I just asked about names of companys to try,, .. last time i checked i didnt have to explain my reasons for my hops to you that felt the need to teach trucking to an old dog , (rolls my eyes) ....as to the ones that DID JUST answer the question . I thank you, . .. one is not hiring in my home area , and as to swift, , been there done that .... I was national guard at that time, and my old Jag office had the call and remind them twice that I as a US soldier was not to be given a hard time about having to do drill... so swift and me have a bad past . (out of the Guard now,) so that was one of the reason that caused trouble between with me and companys , which is no longer in play.. .... so still looking for names to try .... and if anyone was a smart remark about me serving my country , Please enclose your home address ! to me when you do !! only two people have died for your freedom , Jesus Chirst , and the American Soldier . .
....Anyway , thanks agian to those that offered company names to try, hopefully, anther will offer a good name for me to try.Bigarmin88, Everett and yankinurchain Thank this. -

oldgrey, I wasn't trying to ruffel your feathers. you have to remember! this is the internet. any ways. you could do what i ahve been doing for a while now. if you have a good pickup and a good box or flat bed trailer. you can shop around on the internet. and pull LTL. it's not great pay. but it works. and you end up with a little more freedom. which from the sound of it. that's what your after isn't it? you just can't be afraid to loose a little every now and then.
and thank you for your service. -
Oldgrey what state do you live in?? I work for a good smaller company headquartered in western Ohio with terminals/droplots in Detroit MI, Chicago IL, East Windor CT, Cleveland OH, and Duncan SC. Do you live near any of those terminals/droplots? If you do, you could look them up they are Cheeseman LLC.
