    And, again, my reason for this thread was not to debate Craigslist. It was more so about a Bait & Switch hiring matrix.

    But, I do thank you all for your comments.

    It used to be the newspaper, before Craigslist. Happened to me once also, but what they offered was still better than USA Truck.

    I was wondering that too.

    OP: It's an exaggeration. Not a bait and switch. A bait and switch would be more along the lines of them advertising for a driving job, making you think that you had a driving job, offering you a driving job, and then hiring you as a secretary. Companies always exaggerate income. Haven't you ever seen the signs on the back of trailers??

    I also found my current job in the Bakken through CL.

    I was working down in the Eagle Ford when I answered the add last May.

    Then I got a call and talked with a recruiter, followed by a phone interview from the boss a week later and finally hired a week after that; all before I even left my previous job.

    Because of CL I was able to earn $59,484 during the last 6 months of 2015; paid hourly.

    So...good jobs CAN be found on CL
