I been with swift now for 4 months. been solo for 3 months. My question is.....Is it to soon to make a company change? My record is perfect at this point. Im making a good solid driver. My on time is 100%. Western Express is trying to hire me. Swift is alright but having some trouble with them nothing I cant tough out. Is It to early for me to try and get in with a smaller company? Would western be a better move.? I don't want to mess up getting into a smaller company later by looking like a job hoper but at the same time if I can make a move to better my situation and not mess myself up later down the road I may take it. I know all this boils down to me making a decision base on where I need to be but any and all advice would help thanks.
Need advie please

You will want to find a much better job than you have now to make it worth the trouble of being looked at as a job hopper in your next job app. western is't all that different?

Western Express is terrible, if you're gonna make a change at least try to move up in the world.
CasanovaCruiser, 77smartin and Swedish Chef Thank this. -
I would find the top companies you want to work for, find out their requirements and strive for that.

Western express is so much worse than Swift. You'd be taking a step backward if you work there. Stay with Swift for at least six months, then apply to big G express. Lots of drivers seem to really like it there.

Listen to the good advice, DJ. It's OK to move jobs, but you're your own best friend and you want any move to be an improvement, hopefully a good improvement. I use a measure of annual income and miles/year.

I can tough it out here, at times not that bad, I want to step up in this field but do need more experience.
-
What are your issues with Swift?
-
Like everyone else i guess, LOW PAY!!!!!!
freightwipper Thanks this. -
pay good, the issues are really beside the point, im somewhat happy here but do have issues, they want to add camera, 62mph truck, auto trans in near future. little to no respect cause of the swift logo on side of truck. I make good money but feel like I can do better.xlsdraw Thanks this.
