Arthur Jr Aikens - CDL Driver Reviews

The worst driver I have ever worked with. He is always late for a delivery. He curses out the dispatcher and lies about having flat tires or issues with the truck so that you can send him money. He will drop the trailer off anywhere to get to Florida. A terrible driver to work with. Stay away if you’re smart! 

Driver was a fairly dependable until 12/09/2024 when this driver rolled over his equipment losing the load and both truck and brand new MAC trailer.  Total loses were over $100k

Horrible experience with this driver. Throughout the hiring process the driver was easy to deal with, always saying that he knows what he's doing and he's a "professional". He will tell you that he's looking to run hard and has never missed an appointment but he's slow and unreliable. He worked with us for a month and some change, then he decided to abandon the truck with a loaded trailer in the middle of nowhere, started threatening the dispatch and safety department of absolute nonsense. Would've gave him a 0 rating if it would've been possible.

Wouldn't recommend hiring him. Asked specifically for rental car, picked it up and next morning he was still at home running his errands. Said he will be leaving out soon, we said we will no longer proceed with him and he returned rental car 2 days later. 

Horrible experience. I haven't checked him here and got him a rental car to come to orientation. He never came, once I told him we will be reporting him to the police he dropped the car at a random location and said to come and collect the car ourselves. We occurred so many additional charges for the rental car. 

This driver was completely unreliable and dishonest. He took our truck home, telling us he would start driving on Monday. Monday came, and he didn't start. Then he told us he would start on Tuesday. Instead, he waited until his salary was deposited into his account and suddenly claimed he broke his hand. He sent us pictures as proof, but when we checked the X-ray, it showed the year 2023. When we called him to ask about it, he panicked and hung up the phone. Now we have an abandoned truck sitting in Florida, and he refuses to bring it back to the terminal. Completely unprofessional and irresponsible. Do not hire this driver.

Did drug test, bought plane tickets never showed up. Ignoring phone calls and text message's

We scheduled him for a job, and he assured us multiple times that he was coming. Based on his word, we purchased a flight ticket for him, but he never showed up and stopped responding. We ended up losing money on the ticket.

If you're considering hiring him, be cautious don’t book flights or any other transportation unless you're certain he’ll follow through.

We hired this CDL driver, and unfortunately, our experience was highly unsatisfactory. His performance was consistently weak, with frequent delays and an inability to meet schedules. Communication was extremely difficult, and when questioned about delays, he often provided unconvincing or inconsistent explanations. Additionally, he abandoned our equipment in Las Vegas, and upon recovery, we discovered significant damages to the truck, as well as stolen items. Given these issues, we'd recommend other trucking companies think twice before hiring him. Please see the pictures attached 🙂
