    I forgot to mention, if and when you see a truck that you fancy, do your homework!

    get the engine serial number, transmission serial number, gear ratio, vin number...etc. An engine manufacturer may have made 2-3 different models of the same engine with vastly different power options ( especially if you like yours modified). Think 351 Cleveland and 351 Windsor.

    Thanks, I appreciate all the warnings, but I have no desire to be an O/O, and it wasn't even my ideal, the recruiter brought it up.

    Frankly I thought it was weird since I have not yet even passed the road test, and 2nd, the more questions I asked , the more "Offended" his tone became.

    I am becoming concerned that ever one I talk to seems to get irritated when I ask questions, its as though I'm only supposed to know the gross cpm?

    Is it that every one is paid exactly the same terms, a standard?
    or, am just continuing my curse to only connect with scum?

    P.S. What went wrong with Real estate and Youth sports , I only seemed to connect up with people trying to run scams. What attracted me to trucking is the fact that I'm one those misfits that never had friends , family or social life. I read that most people leave trucking since its a lonely , with no opportunity for a social life, and zero family time.

    Glad you wished up and saw the light. These companies are licking their chops at such schemes
    always good to do your homework and realize that there are a plethora of scams out there. You can spot most most of them right off the bat, this is just one of them. If we all just banded together as a unit, these schemes would die the death so quickly.
    Unfortunately there are suckers out there that will go for it.
