Stay with the same company for a minimum of one year. It will help you if you want to go to a different one someday.
Many reasons to stick it out for a year. Main one is staying with your company to fulfill the contract you signed with them and on top of that one year of safe driving will open a lot more doors for you. Secondly one shouldn't decide it isn't for them until a year because the learning curve is so big. It can be overwhelming so one doesn't really know if they should quit or not. I am dedicated to doing 2 years and then making a decision..
Yes it's fine till switch divisions within the company. When wet say stick it out for at least a year, we are referring to sticking with the same company.

When you guys say try to stick it out for a year are you referring to sticking with the same company for a year? Or the same division? Let's Say I was with Swift, would it be fine if I switched like from dry van to reefer as long as I stuck with the company?
