Alli Budandi - CDL Driver Reviews

The driver took new truck, picked up a load, collected a cash advance, and then abandoned the truck at a truck stop. Very irresponsible and unprofessional behavior.

Tried to hire him 2 seperate with MVR,CH,DT times, first time - said he got into a family accident, second time - no notice what's so over just gone. Waste of time.

Mr. Mireles from southern TX was vetted and screened ready to roll.  We purchased airline tickets from southern TX to Chicago.  I welcomed him to Chicago when I found out the plane landed (no response).  I waited another 45-55mins, to get his bags together and get to Terminal #2 so I can get him an Uber to the Terminal (no answer, straight to VM).  I ended up sending him another text message 2.5hrs after his plane landed, asking him if he made the flight (no answer).  Had to go on my United App to see if I had a flight credit on my account, there it was.  He never got on the original flight.  I sent a nasty gram to him stating that "the adult thing to do was to inform us of any issues....", nothing.  Then 2hr additional hours went by and his "brother" texted me (from Manuel's phone) and stipulated that the ticket had a misspelling on his first name (Manuel vs Manual).  Which would not have hindered him from getting the ticket agent to change on the spot.  After calling United about the situation, they assured me they would have simply changed it prior to boarding, the stated "a mismatch (when a name doesn't match the ID) happens all the time, for this being a single letter - would have never been a reason to cancel the ticket".

Apparently didn't want the job, another disappointment trying to hire reliable people for our company.  Make you wonder why a Class A driver wants to driver a little box truck but it is what it is. 

This Class A driver came to us with high expectations and great attitude.  He wanted to drive one of our box trucks w/sleeper (<26,000#).  He was here all day filling out all the paperwork and getting truck ready to go.  We gave him one of our 2020 trucks for a few weeks to see how he does prior to giving him one of the '26s in the yard.  Apparently he thought he rated the brand new truck and on his very first day, no call no show.  

As everyone knows, there are so many things go into vetting and hiring a driver.  It pains me to write this as he had such a good personality and my recruiter talked so highly of him.  I hope that he contacts us with a reason for this abrupt turnaround.  I would love to update or remove this review, I would love to be wrong here but 11 phone calls from President to Dispatch to Safety and even the recruiter.  7 text messages, 3 emails and 2 IM through Tenstreet all went unanswered.

This driver behaved very unprofessionally. When he came to our office, he started shouting and causing trouble. The situation became disruptive enough that we had to book him a flight back just to prevent further issues. Not reliable, not professional, and not someone we would recommend working with.

Went missing after his pre-employment steps, bought him a flight ticket went missing without any prior notice, nor a call or a message.

This driver frequently went home and could not stay on the road for long periods due to constant personal issues at home. Because of this, he was unreliable and unable to keep consistent work.

This driver constantly argued and created unnecessary problems instead of focusing on the job. He showed little interest in actual work responsibilities and was more concerned with excuses and complaints. Unfortunately, his attitude and behavior made cooperation impossible.

The driver returned home and held the truck longer than agreed, keeping it for several days. After being contacted, he claimed that he could not find the truck anymore. This caused unnecessary delays and showed a lack of responsibility and reliability.

Not recommended for future cooperation.
