    Devante had 2 previous hand held violations while driving a CMV along with speeding and a violation to control vehicle. Since the violations happened 2 years ago, we decided to give him a chance. After driving for us 2 weeks driver took 1 week off. When he returned he demanded more MENTAL HEALTH DAYS OFF. We decided to bring DJ back to the office to discuss the problems; in the mean time we received a call from another driver stating DJ was texting and driving a CMV and almost hit another truck. We questioned DJ and he admitted he was texting and responded "what else am I suppose to do when I'm all alone in the truck". He's always late for pick up's and deliveries. In the end DJ abandoned his truck and trailer with a LOAD. Once we recovered the truck it smelled of Marijuana. The condition of the truck was horrible, trash was all over and the truck smelled of Marijuana, cigarette butts was thrown on the floor, there was several gallons on URINE and dirty clothes that covered the floor. The microwave plate was on the floor and not in the microwave, candy bars was crashed into the floor. If you don't want headaches or your equipment trashed........STAY AWAY FROM THIS DRIVER, he's not worth the paper you print his check on!

    Devante has 2 previous handheld violations while driving a commercial vehicle, along with speeding and inability to control vehicle. Since his last violation happened 2 years ago. We decided to give him a chance. After driving for us for 2 week's, Devante took 1 week off. He returned and demanded more mental health day's. Decided to bring Devante back to the office to talk to him face-to-face. On his way back to the office, we received a call from another driver stating that Devante was on his cell phone while driving and almost hit another truck. We called Devante to get his side of the story. He didn't deny the fact that he was using his cell phone. He said, "what else am I supposed to do when I'm in the truck all by myself". He was always late for his pick-up and deliveries. At the end, he decided to abandon his truck and trailer with a load. Once we recovered his truck, we noticed the smell of marijuana in the truck. I don't recommend him.

    The driver took new truck, picked up a load, collected a cash advance, and then abandoned the truck at a truck stop. Very irresponsible and unprofessional behavior.

    Mr. Mireles from southern TX was vetted and screened ready to roll.  We purchased airline tickets from southern TX to Chicago.  I welcomed him to Chicago when I found out the plane landed (no response).  I waited another 45-55mins, to get his bags together and get to Terminal #2 so I can get him an Uber to the Terminal (no answer, straight to VM).  I ended up sending him another text message 2.5hrs after his plane landed, asking him if he made the flight (no answer).  Had to go on my United App to see if I had a flight credit on my account, there it was.  He never got on the original flight.  I sent a nasty gram to him stating that "the adult thing to do was to inform us of any issues....", nothing.  Then 2hr additional hours went by and his "brother" texted me (from Manuel's phone) and stipulated that the ticket had a misspelling on his first name (Manuel vs Manual).  Which would not have hindered him from getting the ticket agent to change on the spot.  After calling United about the situation, they assured me they would have simply changed it prior to boarding, the stated "a mismatch (when a name doesn't match the ID) happens all the time, for this being a single letter - would have never been a reason to cancel the ticket".

    Apparently didn't want the job, another disappointment trying to hire reliable people for our company.  Make you wonder why a Class A driver wants to driver a little box truck but it is what it is.

    This Class A driver came to us with high expectations and great attitude.  He wanted to drive one of our box trucks w/sleeper (<26,000#).  He was here all day filling out all the paperwork and getting truck ready to go.  We gave him one of our 2020 trucks for a few weeks to see how he does prior to giving him one of the '26s in the yard.  Apparently he thought he rated the brand new truck and on his very first day, no call no show.  

    As everyone knows, there are so many things go into vetting and hiring a driver.  It pains me to write this as he had such a good personality and my recruiter talked so highly of him.  I hope that he contacts us with a reason for this abrupt turnaround.  I would love to update or remove this review, I would love to be wrong here but 11 phone calls from President to Dispatch to Safety and even the recruiter.  7 text messages, 3 emails and 2 IM through Tenstreet all went unanswered.

    This driver behaved very unprofessionally. When he came to our office, he started shouting and causing trouble. The situation became disruptive enough that we had to book him a flight back just to prevent further issues. Not reliable, not professional, and not someone we would recommend working with.

    This driver frequently went home and could not stay on the road for long periods due to constant personal issues at home. Because of this, he was unreliable and unable to keep consistent work.

    This driver constantly argued and created unnecessary problems instead of focusing on the job. He showed little interest in actual work responsibilities and was more concerned with excuses and complaints. Unfortunately, his attitude and behavior made cooperation impossible.

    The driver returned home and held the truck longer than agreed, keeping it for several days. After being contacted, he claimed that he could not find the truck anymore. This caused unnecessary delays and showed a lack of responsibility and reliability.

    Not recommended for future cooperation.
