    EWT DISPATCH

      

    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.

    Mr. Randall Burson is not eligible for rehire. During his employment, he demonstrated significant issues involving honesty, judgment, and reliability. In one incident, he attempted delivery of a load that required tarping but arrived without the load being properly protected, resulting in a freight claim. Initial statements regarding the incident were inconsistent and changed after customer video evidence was reviewed. In a separate incident, Mr. Burson abandoned company equipment while under dispatch, leaving a truck, trailer, and customer freight stranded. Due to these events and the resulting loss of confidence in his ability to safely and responsibly represent the company, we would not consider him for future employment.

    Mr. Detonio Price was engaged as a 1099 contractor and, at the time of separation, was actively participating in a DOT SAP follow-up testing program from a prior FMCSA Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse violation. During an active delivery assignment, multiple company personnel reported concerns regarding his condition, including slurred speech, confusion, and behavior inconsistent with prior interactions. Law enforcement subsequently responded to the delivery location, where Mr. Price was arrested for Public Intoxication and Public Urination. Following an internal review, the contractor relationship was terminated immediately for violation of company safety policies and failure to remain fit for duty while operating under the carrier's authority. No additional FMCSA Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse violation was reported by the company related to this incident.

    Mr. Ray was employed from 04/28/2026 through 05/08/2026.

    Prior to receiving his assigned truck, Mr. Ray was dispatched to Texas with another company driver to recover two recently purchased fleet vehicles. During that trip, management received reports of continual complaints regarding company equipment and negative comments directed toward the other driver.

    Upon assignment of a detailed and service-ready 2019 Kenworth T680 double-bunk sleeper, Mr. Ray continued expressing dissatisfaction with the equipment and requested additional accommodations. To assist him, the company dispatched freight toward his home area so he could obtain additional personal items.

    While under dispatch, Mr. Ray requested and received an emergency cash advance, stating his family was facing eviction. After delivering his load, he advised dispatch that he had a family emergency and remained unavailable for approximately one week. Shortly after receiving his first settlement, he informed ownership that he would not be returning to work and instructed the company to retrieve its equipment because he was leaving for California to deal with the "family emergency".  Application shows the use of "Family Emergency" a number of times for reason to resign.

    Ownership offered financial assistance to return the tractor and trailer to the terminal and attempted to coordinate a reasonable return plan. Mr. Ray refused all proposals and abandoned the tractor at his residence while leaving the trailer unattended at a truck stop.

    The company was forced to dispatch another driver, purchase airfare, and incur additional recovery expenses to retrieve the equipment. Based on his conduct, refusal to cooperate, abandonment of company assets, and costs incurred by the company, Mr. Ray is not eligible for rehire and would not be recommended for employment.

    Mr. Washington completed the hiring process, accepted the position, agreed to compensation and onboarding terms, and was scheduled for travel at company expense. At Mr. Washington's request, travel arrangements were changed from June 8, 2026, to June 15, 2026, resulting in additional travel costs.

    Prior to Mr. Washington's scheduled start date, the company incurred expenses associated with the hiring process, including motor vehicle record reviews, Clearinghouse queries, pre-employment drug testing, administrative processing, and travel arrangements. After these resources had been committed, Mr. Washington ceased communication and failed to respond to multiple phone calls, text messages, and emails.

    Mr. Washington provided no notice that he no longer intended to proceed with employment and made no effort to request cancellation of the company-purchased airline ticket or other onboarding arrangements. Fortunately, the airline reservation was canceled prior to departure and a travel credit was obtained, mitigating a portion of the financial loss.

    Based on Mr. Washington's failure to communicate, failure to honor previously agreed employment commitments, and disregard for the time and resources invested in the hiring process, the application was closed and Mr. Washington was designated as ineligible for future employment consideration.
