SCAM ALERT: According to the Commercial Vehicle Training Association, for the past two weeks, a person identifying himself as Larry Davis has been calling CDL schools claiming to be a recruiter for Knight Transportation.
‘Larry Davis’ has been collecting the names of students from the schools, contacting the students and offering them a trainer in exchange for $200.
CVTA says several CDL students have been victimized by the scam.
A student in Florida has already filed a police report, but he wanted to alert other CDL students of the scam.
CVTA says there is no ‘Larry Davis’ employed at Knight. Â Knight says they do not charge students for training.
This scam is fairly common. Â Should a recruiter ever contact you and request money, please contact the carrier the recruiter says he or she is representing.
