In the 6 1/2 years I have been a member of CAD I have posted 2 dozen request for employment. In that time I have never found any work from the site nor have there been any viable resources either. In fact, with the 2 dozen postings, there has only been a half dozen replies and those were from people like:

"Brentleys Paving & Grading" who held me up for two weeks waiting to pick up a truck and then completely flaking and leaving me hanging with no explanation or returning calls.

"MBMM LLC." This guy wasted 48 minutes on my cell phone trying to get me to buy his truck sight unseen for $43,000.00 + 10% interest, then leasing back on to him where I would receive 65% of the loads, pay for the fuel, insurance and a whole list of other things. The kicker is, he didn't even have a running company yet!! this was all based on speculation!

"Bev Contacts" after going through the time and expense of getting cleared through Panther Lines, tells me I'm hired and even buys me a plane ticket. When I told him that the time he selected wasn't going to be made but I would make the next flight at no expense to him, he loses his ever flipping mind and goes postal! Now hes out a driver and a plane ticket.

Not including all the people that email me to say that they are also looking for employment and was wondering how my search was going as theres weren't going well.

Now I am waiting once again on a perspective employer to call me and let me know how I'm going to pick up a truck in the mid-west, he hasn't returned emails or phone calls in 3 days after telling me to call him. Go figure another one from CAD.

So the questions are:
Am I wasting my time trying to find anything with CAD?
Are the only people on CAD scammers and flakes with nothing better to do then screw with people who are trying to find honest work?

For those who think I'm just whining, heres to you, :dung: ENJOY!

I wonder if you shouldn't look in the mirror to answer why you are only getting the bottom of the barrel companies contacting you. Just a theory.

[Trukrswyfe]

I completely agree with......

I think we should ban together and get our "money" back...

I would like a full refund gift wrapped and on my front porch with in the hour.

Don't keep me waiting. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

And that's your problem right there. There are over 100 companies and countless drivers that use the CAD application/employee database. That's where most of the hiring takes place...you put in an application and then begin contacting companies about it or they contact you. It's a very successful system and doesn't cost you a dime. As far as the messageboard itself, there are a couple companies that use it to hire, but not many. The messageboard is used primarily for information sharing.

And now, to be completely honest with you and not beat around the bush. If I were looking to hire you, I'd withdraw my offer immediately upon reading that post. Potential employers aren't going to hire someone that comes across as that negative and insulting, because:

Are the only people on CAD scammers and flakes with nothing better to do then screw with people who are trying to find honest work?

That just insulted every potential employer that might be reading the board.

Not the best way to reach out to an employer. :?

That is no way to talk to a retired vet. :lol:

Why would you try to get a job from someone who is too cheap to be a regular advertiser to this site. There are some good companies on the front page.

To Rev.Vassago, Trukrswyfe, Nomad_, Jumbo and Twilight Flyer the 5 people that replied to my question I posted concerning CAD and my experiences trying to find work with it, I have but only this one question. Did any of you even bother to actually read the posting in it's entirety before replying? The questions were pretty easy,

So the questions are:
Am I wasting my time trying to find anything with CAD?

Not much thought needed to understand them and yet, I'm left completely bewildered by some of the responses I received. Only one of the replies made any sense, ironically it didn't come from the site administrator. I wouldn't worry about any perspective employers pulling their offers, hopefully they would be intelligent enough to read and comprehend from the heading that I wasn't posting a request for employment, therefore would not be insulted.
As for any of my previous postings being negative? What are you reading????

I realize that there are always going to be those people that are just ignorant and thrive on negativity, normally I wouldn't pay attention to them, but today I say thank you. By your responses you have answered my questions.

Sure did. Did you even bother to actually read my response? Somehow, I doubt it. If someone is only getting the scraps, there is probably a reason for it.

Oh I did indeed read your response, which leaves me wondering if:
1. You have read all my previous postings in O/O's and in Drivers for hire.
2. If your question was from something you had read in any of those posts or if you had just came to the conclusion from this post that I only attract "Scraps"?

I didn't say anything about getting only scrap's though I am now starting to see a pattern here, only the bottom of the barrel use CAD to find drivers?

Let me repost this:

I think that's a pretty clear-cut answer and yet you still come back with attitude. Simply amazing.
