    If a company doesnt put their company name in the ad, I wouldnt even mess with it.

    Same goes for people who put cars up for sale and dont put a price. Skip on to the next one.

    Trucking companies sometimes contract with employment companies to find them drivers. The employment company advertises for drivers but they don't want the prospective drivers going directly to the trucking company or the employment company doesn't get paid for the new driver.

    But some of the crappiest companies will also advertise and hide their ID so drivers don't know they are walking into a trap.

    I have answered several ads in C'bus area and they always seem to be hot shotters running cars.

    Incidentally, I stumbled into this info by eves dropping on a conversation between two car jockeys I overheard talking while I was getting my wife's car serviced:

    Most auto auctions hire spot labor the day before a sale to move cars around AS WELL AS auto shippers recruit then also. If you are looking for a temp job or maybe a way to get from one place to another and get paid in the process that stuff might work out for you. Check your area for an auto auction and call them.

    Think" about it; it's...sad" at the least! when a trucking co's reputation is so bad so...knowen out there, that they can't use their name, or hide behind 3rd party recruiter's. is a JOKE! I've had my time" wasted more than a few time's with thease sorry azzed co's! when it come's to light in the conversation who they are/ or recruit for...I laugh" in their ear! while I hang up! they don't/won't get it! KNOW" who you are! what they are...and duck their bullet's! time's/job's are hard rite now (God know's) but who" with half a brain...would finish their self off (career wise) by working for thease scum! Something the ol'man used to say; Boy" you sign your name to every job you do! what does your name" mean to you? I guess it's just a matter of Home training! (how your Folk's raised you) if people treated each other, as they would like to be treated...our industry/world would be a better place" for all of us.
