I was planning on moving to Texas in a few weeks and got called by a company to come in for an interview. They told me that they were looking for a driver and I told them I was going to be a few weeks but that I could come down early if they really needed me to. They called me back 2 more times about coming in so I ended up packing all my stuff in a rush and I drove 20 hours in 1 day to get there. I arrived 2 days after they called (I had to book a hotel for 2 weeks because my house wasn’t ready). When I got to Texas I called them and texted the manager but got no reply. I called again the next day and they finally answered only to tell me that the position was filled.
Is it normal for something like this to happen? I wasted 800$ on a hotel and drove all that way now I have to drive back to NJ. They couldn’t even bother to call or text me back saying the position was filled when I told them I was on my way. How common is this?
Drove 2 days for interview only to be told the positions filled

I’d go there in person and request to see someone in person and again explain what has transpired
If they don’t find a truck for you then publicly lambast the SOBs
