Old Experience = No Experience ?

There’s always OTR drivers out there that are trying to figure out a workaround from preventing over the road truck driving into becoming an absolute lifestyle. One thing that I’ve accepted? Is if I’m going to be an OTR driver, that is going to be my lifestyle. So I try to make it the best I can. I try to do things out on the road that make life interesting and fun. Not every day of course but when it comes about. I mean no offense to this, but I don’t think you’ve went through that phase yet. So your job hopped to take long breaks in between. So you like the money, but you also value your freedom. To me there is a workaround, but I don’t know if it’s a plan that would work for you. You would need to stay a year at each company. Then take six months off. Doing it the way you’re doing it, you’re digging your own grave in this industry.

 

if you miss the family get a job where you live abroad, perhaps?

or am I missing something

 

You’re not listening to me brother, I’m not calling you unsafe or efficient or a bad driver. Hell you might be one of the best drivers on this form. But part of that is sticking it out. That is the whole crux of over the road truck driving. You make it a lifestyle. Or it doesn’t work. And the bottom line, is always the bottom line for any trucking company. It cost them money every time they rehire you. And if you only stay for a few months they’re not making money on you. Just stick it out a little longer and you’ll be fine.

 

What are their recruiting costs? They may have been fools, but some people don't want to be fools anymore.

Buy your own truck and trailer.

Swift/Knight owe you nothing. Their HR has decided you aren't worth the effort.
Suck it up and find a new company.
