In my opinion, this company is using "bait and switch" in their advertising for drivers. I am an "old man", 57 years of trucking driving, but I am still in excellent health, perfect record. I left a perfect part-time job hauling mail for another company all because of this conoravirus mess, back in March. Well from getting "bored out of my rear", I started looking for a nice mail hauling job again.
Midwest Transport had an ad on Indeed which plainly stated, 3 positions, 3 week rotation. each week you would run a different schedule. This sounded pretty good to me. I applied the very first day that the ad appeared on Indeed. Got a call from a recruiter. Here is how the conversation went: "oh those positions have been filled, but I do have this" and he proceeded to spout off something that would have a driver laying over in Landover, Md(Washington D C) from 2am on Monday to 7:30am on Tue. This was every week. No offer of a motel. No way that I am going to sit in a truck in Landover, MD for 30 hours every week. Oh let me add, the "layover" takes place after only a 3 hour drive. You are on duty about 4 hours and then this 30 hour 'layover".
.
The original ad never said one word about this schedule. The ad is still running about the 3 positions, 3 week rotation. I even called their hand on this by sending a message on their Facebook page and on their website. They do not have enough decency to respond.

Midwest isn't the only mail carrier that is doing the "bait and switch". Eagle in Harrisonburg, Va, in my opinion, is guilty of it. They will advertise a "turn" from Harrisonburg, Va to Fort Mills, SC but you call about this, "oh it has been filled but here what I do have". Jersey city and Long Island
