Do trucking company recruiters lie to new drivers?

You may "hear" about incidents here and there, but generally, no, recruiters who blatantly lie only make their company look bad. Question anything that seems to be too good to be true, and get promises in writing, whenever possible.

OOS:

When a violation by either a driver or company is confirmed, an out-of-service order removes either the driver or the vehicle from the roadway until the violation is corrected.
