So I was perusing the Columbus OH craiglist to see if anything popped out at me and I saw this post:
https://columbus.craigslist.org/trp/4863993274.html
Sounded mildly interesting and they have a website so I thought I'd check it out:
http://www.cmrtrans.co/
Now things got interesting. None of the pictures of trucks on their page are of newer model trucks. In fact they are all older model volvos (correct me if I'm wrong, but all pre-2005ish? 2006?) with the company name obviously photo-shopped onto them. Now the site does look pretty professional compared to many smaller companies that either don't have websites or only have like a single page with contact info and a few paragraphs about the company and maybe a few pics. Note on the news page they have "posts" going back to 2011. Heh this is where things get funny because checking out this page:
https://ai.fmcsa.dot.gov/SMS/Carrier/2551198/History.aspx
Now their CSA scores were all fine. In fact, they were all 0. Now how can a company that has been around since at least 2011 have 0 inspections? Well if you check out the page I linked above the company has, in fact, only existed since Oct 2014 when they had 1 truck and 1 driver. Then they added 3 more trucks sometime in Dec 2014. So, here we have a very small company that was created sometime in Oct 2014 with a very professional but obviously falsified website, advertising for drivers when they already have more drivers then trucks.... and they are an OTR company to boot... oh and did I mention their "lease" help for "loyal" drivers? LOL.
Edit: Just found a google maps link to their "office" as well. Enjoy:

Not sure what to make of all this, just thought maybe someone here would like the story or knows what is going on here.
Not sure what to make of this company....

3 inspections, 2 trucks inspected: 07 Volvo and 09 Volvo (post-crash). 2 Trailers inspected: 2015 Hyundai (post-crash) and 2012 Wabash. At least their equipment is newer than the what's in the pictures on their website. On the other hand, they also have an Australian Road-Train rig shown under "Dry Products and Temperature Controlled". Seems legit
