    If you have had 20 driving jobs in 5 and a half years is that a lot?

    Five and a half years is 66 months divided by 20 jobs is a new job every 3.3 months. Good luck on your search for the perfect driving job.

    That's way to many jobs. Honestly, I'd hang up the keys for good after the 3rd job in 5 years. I'm quite surprised that anyone would take the chance and hire him with a backround like that. Most of us have 2-4 jobs in a whole career, but 20 or more within 5 years? That's ridiculous.

    You are correct in stating that doesn't mean you aren't a safe driver. But the good driver part is questionable. You're going to be lied to no matter where you work. That's not secluded to trucking. Also, you're never going to make decent money if you can't stay at one place longer than 3 months.

    You'll never find stability until you learn to commit. You have to work so find one job and marry it. With longevity comes many better things. It sounds like you quit way too easily and can't get over the hump. Nobody is going to treat you like a one year employee in three months. That goes with any job.
