    Driver Review: Billy Pridmore

    Billy Pridmore demonstrated repeated and serious violations of company policy during his time with our fleet.

    Incident 1:
    While on hometime, Billy was dispatched on a load scheduled for the following day. He confirmed receiving the dispatch and acknowledged that everything was good to go. However, he failed to report as scheduled, with no notice or communication. Multiple calls to him went unanswered and to voicemail. As a result, we were forced to cancel the load, upsetting the customer and damaging our relationship with them. Billy reappeared five days later with a vague and inconsistent explanation, citing illness and a dental visit, but was unable to provide any justification for the complete lack of communication.

    Incident 2:
    Approximately one month later, the same scenario repeated itself. Billy, again on hometime, confirmed a scheduled Friday dispatch and accepted the load the day before. Once more, he failed to show up the next day and did not contact dispatch. He arrived seven days later, again without any explanation for the total communication blackout. At this point, we charged him for the canceled load, as his no-show resulted in additional losses.

    Retaliation and Termination:
    After seeing the charge on his paycheck, Billy reacted with threats, stating he would return the loaded truck in the opposite direction of the scheduled delivery and bring it back to our terminal. Given this behavior and the pattern of unreliability, company management made the decision to terminate his employment. He was brought to the terminal on his next load and informed that this would be his final assignment. He was instructed to clean out the truck and turn in the keys.

    Theft and Abandonment:
    Instead of complying, Billy took the truck without permission from our Memphis, TN yard and drove it to Alabama. He refused to return the vehicle, claiming he would take his belongings home first, then bring the truck back — which never happened. Ultimately, the vehicle was abandoned at a random truck stop in Alabama. He removed his belongings and then attempted to extort the company for payment in exchange for the truck’s return.

    Conclusion:
    Billy Pridmore has shown a clear and repeated pattern of no-shows, failure to communicate, dishonesty, and eventually theft of company property. He also attempted to extort the company after abandoning a vehicle. Based on this history, we strongly advise against hiring him. A review of his record with other carriers shows similar behavior.

    Don't hire if you don't want to recover your truck. He abandoned the truck and trailer. He did that to two previous employers also, but we received verification a little bit later.

    Calvin Terrall Robinson

    This driver went home after receiving his paycheck, then illegally took control of the truck without authorization. He is now demanding $5,000 and threatening to move the truck to a private yard and refuse to return it unless he gets paid.

    This is vehicle theft and extortion, and we have already reported the case to the DOT and FMCSA for further investigation.

    Warning to any company considering hiring this driver — extremely unprofessional and dishonest behavior.

    Warning to all carriers and dispatchers:
    This driver dropped the truck with an active load and disappeared without any communication. He left the equipment and freight unattended, ignored all calls and messages.

    This kind of behavior is completely unprofessional and dangerous for your business — you could easily lose your customer or face serious claims.

    Avoid at all costs – not reliable, not responsible, not trustworthy.

    Richard Duane jr Coleman

    Richard Coleman is a scammer that tries to sue companies for various reasons whether is labor law issues, workers comp, or flat out extortion. I gave this guy an opportunity after he literally begged me for a job only for Richard to tell me send him $20k or he was going to sell the load to the Mexicans and I’d better hurry up because they were following him. I told him go ahead because that’s what insurance is for. Anyway this was a load of expensive Angus and seafood so Richard makes the first delivery from California to Dallas only for him to turn reefer off and trying to spoil the load. He was days late to the second delivery which he was telling me send more money and maybe he’d get up and drive.So what he does is pull over in Rogers County Oklahoma where he was throwing boxes of good products off the truck so I called the police and they came out and made him put the product back on the truck. I ask the police to secure my truck but they couldn’t do anything and told me to report the truck stolen which I did. Well soon as the police left Richard poured DEF in my fuel tanks and ruined my truck!! He went to jail and is currently waiting to answer for his misdeeds!!! Stay away from this guy because he’s definitely mentally unstable and can be dangerous.

    Gerald Ray Norris

    Gerald Ray Norris claimed to have lost my company fuel card when he was arrested for a DUI after wrecking his car and going to jail in October 2024. Gerald worked for DLI until his license was suspended in May 2025. Gerald somehow managed to get the fuel card back activated in September 2025 and charged about $2300 worth of fuel on my company card. Gerald also doesn’t take care of company equipment and won’t do basic pre trips or check tire pressure and very argumentative about everything!! Don’t hire!!!

    This driver has a very bad record — he took the truck hostage and kept driving with company equipment without permission. Completely unprofessional and untrustworthy behavior.

    SHAWN MATTHEW MILLER

    Extremely rude and unprofessional. Saying things like "I don't fuck with junk" "Get the fuck back to your country" and etc. Then after all these words he proceeds to ask to hire him. Not RECOMMENDED!

    DERRIK JAMES MCLAREN

    EXTREMELY picky driver. Starts arguing over a small dent and any minor things. Arranged him a truck swap to a brand new Volvo, but he just packed his stuff and left. Not professional. Not RECOMMENDED!
