## Prompt

```text
Write a job ad for a truck driver position.

**Position:** [e.g. "Class A regional dry van", "local LTL P&D", "OTR reefer team", "delivery van driver"]
**License and endorsements required:** [CDL class or local equivalent, hazmat, tanker, doubles]
**Experience required:** [MONTHS OR YEARS, accepting recent school grads yes/no]
**Pay:** [cents per mile / hourly / percentage / salary, average weekly range, how miles are calculated, detention and layover pay, sign-on bonus terms]
**Home time:** [e.g. "home every weekend", "daily", "out 2-3 weeks"]
**Routes and freight:** [lanes, touch or no-touch, drop and hook vs live load]
**Equipment:** [truck age, automatic or manual, APU, inward cameras, assigned truck yes/no]
**Benefits:** [health, 401k or pension, paid time off, pet or rider policy]
**Hiring area:** [STATES OR REGIONS]
**Where it will be posted:** [job board, social media, driver-specific sites]

Requirements:
- Put pay, home time, and route type in the first three lines. Drivers skip ads that hide them.
- State pay honestly as a realistic range; if bonuses have conditions, say so. Do not inflate "up to" numbers.
- Use plain language drivers use: lanes, home time, no-touch freight, drop and hook.
- Keep it under 300 words, with a short bullet list of requirements.
- End with how to apply and how fast we respond.

Also return: a short version for social media, 6 phone-screen questions (including disqualifiers like MVR and drug test history), and a list of claims I should check before publishing.

Make sure requirements are job-related and the ad complies with fair hiring and local employment law; check with HR.
