Just left one company looking for another!

I'm not sure why you would leave the company you get now to be pre-hired by the two you listed. That will just be a different version of what you had in the last two companies. If you keep going with this type of company, you just as well stay with whichever one you are at. While it is possible you will find one that is a better fit for you, I think mostly you will find more of the same.

 

Once you have a couple years under your belt, you are attractive to a lot of companies that don't take newbies. Often this is an insurance requirement.
Most of these companies are about the same, other than routing or sometimes equipment. Their pay is often similar, often expressed in different manners, but at the end of the year your w-2 is the same.
What differs is personalities and likes. You may get along great with one dispatcher and not with another. Paperflow may be a bit different, and while not bothering one person, will aggravate the crap out of you.
Some drivers don't care if they're governed speed, others hate it.
It's all the little things that count.
Start making a list of what it is you really want in this industry, so you can ask the right questions and settle on a company in the future that meets as many of those as possible.
Skipping around will only get you ruled out by most 'better' companies, and two jobs in two years is considered skipping around.
Pay your dues, stay at one place and get your time in.

 

I think we will see all companies start this soon. With them worried about their scores they are going to get rid of drivers before the conviction can come down. Not sure, just a thought.

 

Asphalt Cowboy, take some advice learn to slow down so you can read the signs on the road!!!!

 

More than 30 years ago, and having never been to California, I knew about their speed limits and other ridiculous differences before my first trip which took me there. As professionals we are required to know what lies ahead, especially at 65 MPH and 80,000 pounds.

Do yourself a favor, even if your story is true, don't tell it. I'm not saying you did know the speed limit or that your story is not true. I will tell you when you tell that story people think one of two things. Either it is an excuse or you have no business driving commercially. I'm not beating you up. Just telling you I wouldn't hire you if you told me that story.

Put a positive spin on it about making a mistake and learning a lesson. If you don't have to don't tell prospective employers about it. Most people will give you a second chance if you accept responsibility and learn from your mistakes.
