It don't matter what city I look in on Craigslist Chicago companies are everywhere, what is going on with that? In Missouri there are no local companies posting ads, it's 90% Chicago and 10% other states.
Why are Chicago trucking companies plastered everywhere?

Because they have no choice. Chicago 1099 companies have such a bad rep (rightfully so near as I can tell) that they have to go far and wide to keep finding a willing pool of suckers to pull in.

Think about it this way: If a company or set of companies are plastering ads everywhere looking for drivers, their trucks are empty for (a) reason(s). You either call them up, get sucked in by the lies and find out what the lies are when you get there, or you scroll on past all of them and find the companies not advertising everywhere.

They suck you in, cheat you out of miles, skim off the top of your check, get you home at their convenience not yours, basically you're a road slave under a mega carrier...
And to top it off if you don't do exactly what they want they just kick you out of the truck in the nearest city they have a yard in.... Trucking has really went to hellGeekonthestreet Thanks this. -

I don't want to fly anymore because I don't trust it, I want my car to be parked exactly where I pick the truck up, that way if it don't work out I have a way back home.... If you fly to another city and get hooked up with a company that don't work out, guess what when you bring the equipment back you're stuck in that cityStill undecided Thanks this. -
