Darnell Gulley - CDL Driver Reviews

Mr. Gully has displayed an extremely poor attitude during the 3 weeks that he was working with our company. Very unprofessional, profane, and disrespectful towards internal staff and customers, via text messages, phone calls, and in person. We are an EOE and our fleet is approximately 70% black, while he accused us of being slave owners. This was beyond unprofessional and was one of the most insulting things that anyone ever said to us. His net earnings as an owner operator with a dry van were $4,000+ every week, yet he continuously argued with the operations staff about being an endangered servant. He consistently sent his dispatcher load offers that he would find on his own, blaming the dispatcher for not getting them, even though the dispatcher would prove to him that those loads are not for a dry van trailer. The driver was brought back to our yard after the second week to meet with the dispatcher and operations manager, which resulted in agreement that he would change his behavior and was given a second chance. Unfortunately, this lasted for 2-3 days, after which his behavior became even worse. We decided to bring him back to our office at the end of his third week, for termination. Once at the office, he was informed that his lease is being terminated, as we do not tolerate this kind of behavior in our company. His reaction was to start screaming at the female HR person and his dispatcher and slammed his hand against the table where everyone was sitting. He then started going towards the door of the meeting room, physically pushed away the HR person, called her very disrespectful names, and invited her to come outside of the building, threatening her with physical violence. After this, he was escorted out of the building by two male staff members and asked to take off our license plate from his truck and return our property such as the document binder, fuel card, and prepass device. As they were walking towards the truck in the parking lot, he continued to use profanity towards our staff. Once he took the license plate off, he threw it towards our staff, and got into the truck. One of our staff members approached the truck to gather the rest of our property from the driver, he grabbed a hammer in the truck and threatened the staff member with physical violence, after which he took the prepass device and threw it out of the truck and left. All of this happened extremely fast, within just a few minutes, otherwise we would have been forced to call the police. This was the worst situation that we have experienced with a driver, we would not recommend hiring this driver, and prompt you to exercise extreme caution.
