    I didn't know what to put down for the title so I left it at this title.Anyway i'm starting to get phone calls from companies.Melton then JBHUNT today.Both left a voice mail with an automated message..I never had 2 in a row call me the same day.Carriers must really be desparate for drivers if they have to resort to this.

    Much faster than a live person making the call. Did it say "press 1" to speak to a recruiter ?

    Well lets see jb has all kinds of great opportunities like regional and local.But they fail to mention I don't qualify for local because im not listed in that piticular hiring area.Maybe I should move to Chicago so I am.I know im passing up something that could be my dream come true job:biggrin_25513:.Melton has long haul begging for drivers.They offer great pay,don't they all?

    HaHaa.Recruiters..
    Did I ever tell you my free pie story?

    I was at the TA in Knoxville and the waitrees asked me if I wanted free pie?
    Uh..Yeah!!..all I have to do is fill out this driver card so they know im a professional driver and I get FREE PIE!!

    Wahoo!..Free pie.

    Next couple of weeks I get slammed by recruiters from JB Hunt..Calling all hours and even on a Sunday in church!

    I finally get mad and had already told them NO Thanks on every call and finally demanded to know who/where they got my phone#?

    And the guys says..."Well,did you enjoy the free pie"?
    .
    .
    .
    .
    Pretty sneaky JB but I give you points for creativity(because what driver ever turns down Free Pie?)

    A good company does not need to call drivers, drivers call the company for career opportunities.

    I would say JB is one of the more aggressive companies.
