Heather Thorpe - CDL Driver Reviews

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.

This driver has a terrible record — he dropped the truck and disappeared without any notice. Completely unreliable and unprofessional — do not hire.

Richard Coleman is a scammer that tries to sue companies for various reasons whether is labor law issues, workers comp, or flat out extortion. I gave this guy an opportunity after he literally begged me for a job only for Richard to tell me send him $20k or he was going to sell the load to the Mexicans and I’d better hurry up because they were following him. I told him go ahead because that’s what insurance is for. Anyway this was a load of expensive Angus and seafood so Richard makes the first delivery from California to Dallas only for him to turn reefer off and trying to spoil the load. He was days late to the second delivery which he was telling me send more money and maybe he’d get up and drive.So what he does is pull over in Rogers County Oklahoma where he was throwing boxes of good products off the truck so I called the police and they came out and made him put the product back on the truck. I ask the police to secure my truck but they couldn’t do anything and told me to report the truck stolen which I did. Well soon as the police left Richard poured DEF in my fuel tanks and ruined my truck!! He went to jail and is currently waiting to answer for his misdeeds!!! Stay away from this guy because he’s definitely mentally unstable and can be dangerous.

Not eligible for rehire.

Gerald Ray Norris claimed to have lost my company fuel card when he was arrested for a DUI after wrecking his car and going to jail in October 2024. Gerald worked for DLI until his license was suspended in May 2025. Gerald somehow managed to get the fuel card back activated in September 2025 and charged about $2300 worth of fuel on my company card. Gerald also doesn’t take care of company equipment and won’t do basic pre trips or check tire pressure and very argumentative about everything!! Don’t hire!!!

This driver has a very bad record — he took the truck hostage and kept driving with company equipment without permission. Completely unprofessional and untrustworthy behavior.
