    Pretty sure the Indiana ad is a US Xpress. There's a
    Wal Mart DC in Gas City. Nice little town, actually.

    Really? You know they have hiring areas to suit their needs, and to get you home. You can't work for a company in Oregon that doesn't go past Colorado if you live in Georgia. Common sense. Not so common.

    In not talking about living on the other side of the country but a different close by city, an they state they only hire residents from their city for OTR.
    Plus the going home part should be the driver responsibility

    Sounds like a small company. Plus it doesn't matter if u live close to a city, I live in chicago and theirs company that won't hire me because I'm not in their hiring area.

    What u mean going home part is driver responsibility?

    That's stupid, but not illegal. It's always good to see ahead of time that a company has no brain, that's your warning to stay away.
