    Maybe the reputation of *Imaginary Motor Carrier Name and location...

    Klovn Express, Chicago USA.

    Klovn is Bonsian for "Clown" and Chicago would be the two things that any US driver with a brain would avoid in a instant. However the ad would sit there and try to attract those of a feather or truly desperate for a job.

    Majority of those are recruiting companies. They tell you what they think it will take to get you to call. Then they change it up. Just don't bother with them. Contact companies you're interested in directly. Almost any company is looking for a good driver.

    I responded to once of those ads once and the company name was the first thing I asked over the phone. I won’t say who it was, but it was a company I knew of very well and had zero interest in working there.

    The recruiter essentially stalked me over the phone for the next 2 weeks before he gave up. Wouldn’t answer the calls and kept blocking numbers and they’d call from another one lol. I’d just delete voicemails, but there were 9 of those as well. That told me right there that their reputation was well-earned
