"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!

The title of this Forum-- itself should answer most of your questions WHY right there:
Let's see I'm a Owner Operator looking for a 'hand' that's looking to drive one of my very few < 5 trucks? Am I going to trust 1/5 of my business to a "sight" unseen driver- that posted on a message board? Or actually meet a guy on the road- face to face, maybe run with him a few miles and buy him a cup of coffee. Or have someone I know/ currently driving one of my few trucks-recommend someone.
