    I did apply to USX for a Western Regional position that my recruiter told me about, in the first place. But by the time my recruiter got back to me with that app, he told me the the position had closed, and would probably not open up again for 6 weeks or so. So he made me an offer for this Freight Systems, Inc. agency, as "an opportunity to come on board with USX, that I could later transfer to another position with USX if I wanted to." Not his exact words, but he said something like that anyway. He just somehow *ahem* failed to mention all the other bull$h1t that would come along with the position that he was offering me, and instead chose to lie about it.

    Yeah thanks for the reply man. I agree completely. The whole thing seemed shady from the beginning. Even after I had the bs sorted from what they were really offering me, I still couldn't get them to explain exactly who I would be working for and employed by and who would be writing out my paychecks, etc. I was told all along that I would be technically a USX driver, just hauling Freight Systems, Inc freight. So if that's the case, then why were these Freight Systems people wanting me to come out to Little Rock to attend their orientation? *Scratches head*

    I have talked to a recruiter from Schneider before. They seem like a great company, but just a couple small hangups for me with them. One...the cents/mile they were offering me, was well under what I was being offered and what I qualify for, with a few other companies. The other thing about Schneider, one of this recruiter told me, aside from me being able to pick up on this a little bit on my own...is that the majority of their equipment is a tad bit older than the industry average.
    I do appreciate the tip though, so thanks for that.
