For the business owners and recruiters here, what’s your take on candidates who switch jobs frequently? I’ve been actively hiring all year, running countless interviews. We’ve made some great hires, but I keep noticing a pattern: many applicants haven’t stayed at a job for more than a year. (re: their work history) Is this just a generational trend, or are expectations simply misaligned? And here’s the real question: Have you ever hired someone with a history of short stints (less than a year each) who ended up thriving long-term on your team? (Im trying to understand if I'm missing out by not giving them a shot)

Freedom, fireworks, and freight. Most of us are still grinding through the holiday, and we respect the hell out of that. To the logistics professionals keeping things moving while the rest of the country kicks back we see you! Stay safe, enjoy the day if you can!

@Kevin Hill's name rings loud in freight, from building CarrierLists (now part of Highway), leading sales at CarrierSource, and launching Brush Pass Research to fuel smarter prospecting across the top 1,000 brokerages. You might also know him from FreightWaves, where he shaped media, data, and community, or from the sales podcast Put That Coffee Down, which helped redefine how we talk about freight sales. Whether you're building a book, scaling a team, or navigating this chaotic market, Kevin’s insights are gold. Big-time value coming from this one. Welcome aboard. 🤝
