I did a reverse phone number look-up and the phone number in the ad is for Celebrity Transportation Inc, Warrenville, IL.

What passengers would a company called "Celebrity Transport" have that would require only women drivers?

I think the only way they could get away with this is either

a) you're driving a van for female inmates or battered women's shelter victims of domestic(male) violence.
I would have to agree with you there, it sounds like something along those lines.

Do you remember a few years back when this guy tried to sue HOOTERS for not hiring male waiters :lol:

I would not waste too much time trying to get hired there but it would be interesting to find out why they want females only. Keep us updated. :wink:

I didn't apply for the job and have no intention of doing so. There are enough jobs I can find. It just struck me as interesting that they wanted women only.

Sounds like an Escort Service.

What do they do? Pick people up at ATM's and drop them off when they run out of money?

This reminds me of a Dukes of Hazzard episode where Boss Hogg had a casino in the back of a big 18 wheeler truck. There was enough room for about 30 people, plus the slot machines, crap tables, poker tables, and a bar.

Yeah, I used to pull one of them thar rolling casinos. You shoulda seen the look on the scale master's face when Boss Hogg hit a jackpot while I was rolling across the scale. Hell, I thought I was overweight and goin' to the big house!. The scale master just knowingly winked, and tipped his cowboy hat my way as I drove off towards the untamed frontier.

Nobody messes with BBR.

Stick around, next time I'll tell ya 'bout that load of hazmat ping pong balls.
