    Click bait. Either you will call to talk to a recruiter or staff of some sort (and they try to convince you to go OTR with a "sweet pay package,") or your app goes on file (somebody will quit or get fired eventually). It beats putting an ad out there and there's this wave of apps at one time.

    I don't know about you, but I've never made minimum wage in trucking.

    Drivers choose to drive for minimum wage. I choose not to. No tickets no accidents = $100,000 a year job.

    Office candy sleep overs.... that's the flip side of asking if the service desk guy can double as my 'pool boy' when I'm home?
    Clarification... I have no pool....

    Even the worst trucking job pays more than minimum wage.
