    Yes, get on the CB radio and ask, "Any owner-opertors out there that want some good tires cheap? Swap em' out plus $50.00 each and they're yours." Can't count the times I've heard that in truck stops.

    Your buddy is most likely just parroting what the recruiter told him. Common thing in this industry; Recruiter lies like a fool, and the unknowing just repeats the lie.

    Didn't somebody once start a thread with the greatest lines from truck recruitment ads? There are some doozies ... all expressed as "truthful"
