Ok, here is the story on this trucking company.
I placed an add on craigs list in the resume thread. I need a job very bad that is the only reason i placed the add. Times are tough and scams run rampid so i did my home work on this guy.
A man named Jason (he did not offer a last name) called me and offered me a job driving his truck wich he has leased to DLTtrucking Donnie Lynch Trucking
located at 8879 John Rankin Highway, Fulton, Mississippi, Phone: (662) 585-3311,
Now keep this in mind he never asked me about my driving experience or driving record, tickets, dui`s, criminal, nothing no questions about me atall!
Well the job sounded great, a nice new truck to drive, rated at 85 mph. Hauling a flatbed trailer. Nice pay and home time every weekend. However when i attenped to call him back on his cell phone (wich is registered to some female in south florida) I just got some strange answer tone, a few hours later i got a phone call from another cell phone (again registered to a female in so. Florida). He tells me to meet him on the side of the road near I-75 and I-10 at 4:00 in the morning, where he will take me to Fulton MS. For a drug test then hopefully have the results by sunday, sunday? What labs are open on sundays? So then I started to ask this guy more questions. And i got very Vague answers he then put me on hold and we then sudunley got disconected. He did not call me back and i did not call him back either. I then started my resaerch. Well I found the company, phone number and address. Well there is no answer with the phone number listed. Now time to google map the address. Much to my amazment the address is a big empty feild in the middle of nowhere!
Beware job seekers! Now I am not say`ing this guy is a total scam but you can do the detective work if you want to. Please use caution posting your job resume on line. Do your homework!!
