Charles Barkwell - CDL Driver Reviews

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 🙂

BOUGHT PLANE TICKET NEVER SHOWED UP. NOT ANSWERING PHONE

He is absolutely incapable of driving in winter conditions. Despite having 20 years of driving experience, he ended up stranded in the middle of the road because his fuel tanks were simply empty, which cost us $700. The next day, he picked up a load and started threatening that he wouldn’t deliver it, essentially holding the load and the truck hostage. However, the truck was tracked via GPS. We had to call the police and a towing service. I wouldn’t recommend dealing with him at all.

PAID FOR PLANE TICKET AND UBER . CAME TO THE OFFICE 3 HOURS LEFT AND BLOCKED MY PH NR . DO NOT HIRE
