I don't want anyone to fall into the trap I got into. On August of last year, Vladimir from Telegram hired me as a driver to run a truck out of Chicago. I was offered a new Peterbilt 18 speed. I saw a few red flags, but needed the work and figured the Borscht in the interview and the music in the hallway was too good. I never did see the actual HQ. This took place at a UPS store. Two weeks later, when I went to pick up my store, there was a delay in getting my new truck. They said it was being detailed and I could have it when I got back from New York. So I was to take a 1973 Ford LTL. I picked this up from an apartment complex in the Austin neighborhood and a mechanic named Kadyrov took about 5 hours getting it running and killing the rats in the cab. I also got mugged while waiting. Long story short, I made my freight run with only a few minor issues, but never did bet my new tractor. I made a few more runs, only to get VERY short paychecks. Then as the months went by, no paychecks. Then the breakdowns. No support. And no pay. But I kept driving, and fixing the truck out of my own pocket. Then they blocked me. I hope I get reimbursed. But anyway, I will be OK. Now I work for Hammer and Sickle freight, out of Oak Park Ill. Nice people. They said I am getting a brand new Cascadia with a bear on the side of it and all the miles I want. Just avoid Sputnik.
