    I remember someone posted about the ads they've been seeing on Craigslist lately.

    US Xpress has been one of the biggest spammers in my area for the last couple of months.

    Here's what I found when I looked this evening.

    http://flint.craigslist.org/trp/3498062618.html

    I'm pretty sure it's a joke, and not actually posted by US Xpress.

    All those listings spamming the page makes me NOT want to work for them, but I would never work for them again anyways, as I did a few years back and it was a mistake.

    That particular ad looks like a disgruntled employee or bored truck driver. US Xpress is even misspelled plus no contact info.

    US Xpress is advertising heavily on CL for drivers, but not like that. They pay and use html.

    Heavy advertisement = we need to fill seats = they keep quitting.

    Yes there are like 7 ads from US Xpress for just Thursday. I keep spam flagging them.

    CRST is also advertising heavily.

    I don't think I'd work for either.

    One thing US Xpress is spelled wrong on the craiglist ad and I really don't think a company would be that insulting to hire a person making statements like what are posted. I have really never seen any US Xpress ads to be anything but at least a good attempt to look decent.

    Husband worked at US X in 2008, he was company, we left when the miles hit rock bottom in the spring of 2009, l/o were really getting slammed on miles then. We didn't have too many problems other than the usual I reckon. When they closed the terminal in OK City we lost his best dm who had been with them somewhere around 12 yrs; they also had a pretty decent shop compared to some of the terminal including Tunnel Hill at the time.

    I know when hubby was waiting for his new truck in around Jan 2009 they had more people than they had trucks at the time. I guess like a lot of the cdl mills do now still.

    That is just to funny. I can think of several morecompanies that could use that ad. It is obviously a prank.

    They must be paying to advertise on there, you can flag them as overposted and they never go away

    i very seldom use CL. around here. it's nothing but spam anyways. over and over.

    legitimate jobs use a legitimate source. like the unemployment websight. our local new channels also has advertising on there websight. where we can job hunt. sell our car or whatever. kind of like ebay without the bidding.
