    yes i found it on craigslist. this is his response

    My company name is Pure Luxury Trades, LLC. My MC number is 872053. It is not active yet, all we need to do is get our liability insurance. We were waiting on our first driver to commit until we bought it. After we buy it, the number will be active within a week.

    Certain things sound too good to be true. This whole thing seems shady, possibly outright illegal, from the get go. If I were you, I would respectfully decline the offer and just stay far away from them. There is NO TELLING what kind of an outfit this "trucking company" is.

    sounds like a cheesy 1099 job offer from a craigs list ad. if you are a company driver they have to back ground check you. also they may be trying to get your bank account number , you know so they can transfer your pay check to you.

    run, run faster. ask them if you will be a 1099 employee, i bet you would have to pull the truck rental in your name in case they do not pay, or there is truck damage.

    One of the key phrases here is "we will wire you the money" that should be setting alarm bells off.:biggrin_2558:
