Do you find yourself staying at a trucking job for a month or two, quitting and then going to another trucking company right after? Do you repeat this pattern frequently? If so, you might be a job-hopper.

Picture this: You’ve been needing an item for a while, so you hop on Amazon, type the item in the search bar, click “Add to Cart” and purchase the item on the first listing you see. You spend good money on it and you’re excited for it to arrive. But once it does, it’s clear you made a mistake. Right out of the box, it looks cheaply made. It breaks after a week of using it.

The grass usually isn’t greener on the other side. It can be tempting to switch to another company right now when the market isn’t doing great. There are times when trucking companies are doing poorly in the industry and times when the entire industry is struggling. This is one of those times when the entire transportation industry is battling low freight rates.

Yeah, my last recruiter lied. The last company I worked at was a joke…they lied about everything. They told me I was going to make this much, but I didn’t even come close.

Does it seem like you can’t find a good, trustworthy company no matter how hard you look? In a world where it feels like everyone is just trying to sell something to you, how do you find a company that will treat you with respect? How do you find a company that’s transparent about their offerings? How do you find the company that feels right for you? How do you know when you’re getting scammed?

BOO! Ever heard of ghosting? Ever ghosted someone? And no, I’m not talking about your dating life right now. I’m talking about your relationship with your recruiter. Have you ever committed to an orientation date with a driver recruiter at a trucking company you’ve been longing to work for, only to no-show at orientation? It’s called ghosting and it’s not something you should ever do.
