Craigslist frustration: Big companies spamming website with jobs

Free advertising can't pass that deal up. Every person looking for a job will at least look once. Then the recruiters can pocket more $, and the company without spending a dime.

 

usx has the best one so far two drivers sitting at a counter with both pockets full of money pushing a lease prchase

 

Yeah, the more advertising, the more problem with driver retention.

We advertised once on CL and it cost us $25.00 to post. I don't know how much it costs now.

 

I saw something like this about a year ago on CL and I had to flag it on 7 or 8 different CL towns over and over. Some were removed after 6 or 7 rounds of flagging, but some of the smaller market towns took over 20 flagging reports. Very time consuming. But I had the time then, and the satisfaction was worth it. It wasn't the Mega-Liar-Carriers but some even worse scammer wanting a chauffeur for his Grandma..........identical ads from coast to coast.....payin' outlandish money. Either a drug mule or just wanting folks personal info for ID theft. But keep on reporting them and CL will kick ' em off.

 

Here in Eastern WA the only one I see doing it is USxpress, and they are posting like crazy! It's annoying

 

Some "head-hunter" for U.S. Express is posting "Dedicated Positions" here in Va. hauling beer, but when you check into it, it is "regional" and there is a big, big difference. The old "bait and switch" game is alive and well.

 

You have to click on the ad itself then check off the spam/overpost in the small box upper right hand corner. Checked the craigslist in my area and its overloaded with US Express ads. So its found its way in this area as well. 7 out of 10 ads are US Express. A few CRST, but not many.

 

It's the same for real estate. The brokers spam there too. Try and find a cell phone by a local owner and all I ever see in my area are spammers who do that for a living.

 

The Big Companies taking over everything just like the Lowes bringing the little store out of business after 40 years with same owners, just like the big companies lawyers pushing that electronic logs through the politicians to get us little guys out of business and on on on.......
