    Beware of this driver!!! Upon checking his MVR which was clean and no other records we decided to hire this driver. We purchased Dusty his plane ticket from Mississippi to Chicago and uber him from airport to the truck. When he arrived he had absolutely zero stuff with him (not even a backpack) and asked to get first load passing his house so he can get his stuff for the truck. Truck was issued to the driver around 4pm and he was instructed to wait for the morning to complete all the paperwork and to be dispatched for a load. Driver asked if he could go to truck stop and get a shower, which we approved but told him he must come back to office right after. After completing his training he took off to truck stop where he instantly topped of the fuel tanks got himself $200 cash advance, and started to head south. When we tried to reach him over the phone we got the message "Your call cannot be completed as dialed, please check the number and try again". We tried to reach him for couple hours unsuccessfully before we had call police. By the time report was made and state troopers were contacted to pull him over he was already 300 miles south of Chicago. Once he was pulled over and out of the truck our tuck got towed. His explanation to the trooper was "I was heading home from Chicago to Mississippi to pickup my bedding because we allowed him to do so". So please be careful because driver preaches about clear communication and how important is to be open and upfront about everything but minute he got int the truck all that went out the window. In the end we don't know if his plan was to drive 700 miles home overnight and tell us to come pick up the truck because he change his mind, or take the truck somewhere and rip it apart.

    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.
