    This driver and the owner of his truck are a disaster . It took Charles more than a week to make it to IL from TX due to 3 truck break downs. Once he started the communication issues started. He would NEVER pick up his phone, we had to go through the truck owner in order for him to talk to us. No responds to our text messages, no proper knowledge of ELD, or how to use a fuel card (it's not that hard btw). Supposedly a family member died, Charles went home and took our trailer with. Now both him and the owner Stephen Jones are refusing to bring our trailer back to IL. I would highly recommend to stay away from these two.

    Where do I start with this guy ? First it took him 7 days from Dallas to our office in Chicago. He did 5 or 6 loads , he wasn't communicating at all with his dispatch, or anybody from the office, you would need to call him 20 times until he picks up , no updates on the load being picked up or delivered. Then he decided to go home , for a few days, which turned out to be 3 weeks . We called him to ask if he is ready for a load, of course no answer, and then he said that he is not gonna drive no more, and that we can pick our trailer from Dallas, he is not planning on returning it back to the terminal . This guy should not be hired, he will do this to another company as well, claims he knows it all, but actually he is just a fraud . STAY AWAY!!!

    Anderson Bernesier consistently refused well-paying loads (around $3 per mile), frequently misplaced fuel cards, and demonstrated unprofessional behavior, including yelling at dispatch and management. I do NOT recommend working with him.

    Safety folks, please be advised!  Mr. Pharr applied for a non-CDL <26,000 box truck position.  As a CDS, I do things a little differently for my non-CDL drivers.  I run all Clearinghouse query, PSP, and MVRs for all my drivers whether they are in the clearinghouse or not.  This driver fraudulently filled out a Tenstreet application.  He stipulated that he was a Class C driver, he had no accidents in the last 5 years, no convictions in the last 3.  The accident in '21, was not on the application but on his PSP.  The FMCSR section which asks about being 'currently disqualified from driving a CMV, License ever been suspended/revoked, and denied a license.  All three were answered "no".  This is not truthful, so finally after explaining that he will only be considered if he accepts the query.  He is "prohibited" to drive a CMV.  In '22, he was cited for being on duty, while in operation of a CMV while under the influence, and was in possession of a narcotic drug/amphetamine.  This citation wasn't on his application nor was the company he was driving for.

    Please be diligent with your hiring folks, if we only did the basic background - we don't catch this.  If hired, and driving and gets pulled over?  That is an automatic OOS, Driver fitness violation, and towing of the truck.  Another tidbit of information, when a driver gets downgraded - some states don't not annotate that original license was a Class A, and was reduced/downgraded to Class C for a violation of the FMCSR Drug and Alcohol regulations.  This is a huge oversite.

    Derrick Dennis and Tameka Dennis were contracted as drivers but proved to be completely unreliable and unprofessional. They accepted the position, completed only one load, and then abandoned the truck without notice or valid reason. Their actions caused operational disruptions, financial loss, and demonstrated clear dishonesty and irresponsibility. Both individuals have shown scammer-like behavior, taking advantage of company resources and failing to meet even the most basic driver obligations. Companies and dispatchers should avoid working with Derrick Dennis and Tameka Dennis — their record reflects poor work ethic, lack of accountability, and untrustworthy conduct.

    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.
