    I'm enrolled in a CC CDL course that starts in two weeks. I've been doing a lot of reading here and elsewhere to get as much of a base knowledge as I can. On a whim I started checking some potential carriers pages on FB. Some were better than others, and some notably had good interactions with home base and drivers on the road.

    But I had to facepalm at how many applicants AND employees used their company's FB page to complain. So here's my tip to anyone seeking a job in any field anywhere: DON'T POST ANYTHING STUPID ON YOUR EMPLOYER'S FACEBOOK PAGE!

    That is all.

    I actually have a very positive opinion of my carrier, so when they post some kind of message, I tend to post things to bolster/support their message.

    Make it 100% private and your fine. My facebook isn't even searchable, can't add me or message me. If I don't personally know you, you don't get added

    That's good advice, doesn't take long for a recruiter to google you and whoopsy daisy, there you are with your pants around your ankles on FB trying to light your fart with a Jaeger bottle in the other hand.
