The smaller companies worth driving for that require 3-5 years experience do care. At least in my area. No more than 3 jobs in the past 5 years a local tanker company has as their requirements. They make over $80K a year home every day mon-fri. I have no idea why people hop from one mega corporation to another instead of sticking it out where they started with and moving on after a year or two.

To the OP: try sticking to the next job for at least a year. Almost EVERY trucking job will seem like a b.s. factory until you have a year in. Too many new things flying at you, lots of new loads and routes and docks and people. Once you've been somewhere for a year, things usually start getting easier.
I've only been truckin fer 7 years, but I'm still with the original outfit. I've been working real jobs fer 37 years and I'm on Job #5.
It may be a generational thing. I've got friends my age who've only had 1 or 2 employers in their lives. I have friends in their 30s who are on Job #15.Brettj3876 Thanks this. -

Edit: I wouldn’t say the average is low by any means, but it’s not the worst. -
Someone people may recommend a job but make sure you weigh all your options before taking a lowball offer from an iffy company. one wanted me to take .32 CPM they don't pay detention for the company. I would sooner go back to welding than take just .32 CPM even with all the injuries I have and trust me I have more than most professional football players have. The point is don't sell yourself shortgekko1323 Thanks this. -
Lower Your Construction and Skilled Employee Turnover
The turnover rate in retail varies wildly depending on who is generating the statistics, but for argument's sake I picked the highest I could find at 60%.

As far as the food industry is concerned, most US restaurant workers are in fast food businesses, which traditionally is a stepping stone until a better job comes along. Most are part time, make minimum wage, and do everything possible not to work there very long. Workers in non-fast food type restaurants receiving benefits and getting better pay have a much lower turnover rate.
I realize Mega carriers are around half of the trucks on the road, but as I stated in my earlier post, the turnover rate in small to medium sized carriers is still at 74%. -
