We are talking about drivers hiring on to the company in which you are working. Not different companies hauling the same frieght!
I have enough confidence in my abilities to perform and complete my duties, to not worry about someone else hiring on to my company! I invite any kind of personal competition, when it comes to job performance, and so do many of my co-workers! It keeps things interesting in a demanding environment!
The person that was quoted, keeps harping on how good his company is, and knocking everyone elses, but yet, he has never posted what outfit he works for, if, he is even a working driver!
For someone that states his outfit is the best, heck, maybe other drivers would like to have the heavenly gravy train he paints! But, I doubt the outfit is even close to what the poster stated, and is just a typical CB Rambo that like spouting of BS!
I currently run for Star Bulk Transport out of New Braunfels, Texas! It is a bulk tanker outfit that hauls lime and cement! If you think you can handle our work schedule and environment, bring it on! Be warned though, only 1 out of 20 drivers last more than 2 weeks, and it is not because of the pay!
As for painting over phone numbers - a little investigation relating to 2 of the mega carriers will show, that the numbers that had been painted over are no longer used by those outfits. Cannot vouch for others, but again, if an individual driver is doing it, well, he more than likely has low self-esteem and zero confidence to defend his position!

Why would you want competition for your job. Competition kills profits.
I could see why you want competition for jobs not in your field. I see alot of driver painting black paint over the phone # on back of the company trailers advertising for drivers.
