    This guys is DANGEROUS! COMPLETELY UNHINGED! Please, do a thorough background check for yourself before hiring. We took a chance and hired him, because these reviews were posted AFTER we had already put him into a truck. He seemed like the polar opposite of what everyone said about him. He was calm, polite, friendly demeanor, etc. Then it started with load complaints, swearing whenever he was unhappy, and ultimately after a bad inspection, we decided he would need to be put on a 3 month trial. He lost it when we offered him this and we realized he just wasn't a good fit for us. He's a keyboard cowboy. He was fine in office when being terminated and even rented himself a car to get back home. Once he was gone however, he AND HIS WIFE started harassing our dispatcher, safety team, accounting, and even the owner of the company. He made threats and even made false accusations about our business practices. Complete NUT. BE CAREFUL!

    Worked for my company 1.5 months, got a 5000 lb overweight ticket on drive, did damage to truck and did not tell me till he returned truck and discovered myself damage, he start to be very verbally abusive torch me threatening my family . He hates Europian companies and i got a lot of past employment verification on him , he changes companies every 2 months, he showed me 20 companies he worked previous to me in 2020, i can imagine he changed at least 10 more from time he worked for me. Save yourself from hiring this driver .

    We went through the hiring process with this person, the standard procedure in the business: Screening, drug test, flew him in, covered for tranportation, started orientation, put him in a hotel room so we can complete orientation the next day and start with the first load. As you know, up until this point, a good amount of resources have been invested. Next day at the agreed time, I let him know that his ride is on the way to bring him back to the office. Here is when James responded that his son had been involved in a car accident, so he would have to return next week. Now, we have come across applicants who blatantly lie before, or just don't show up. There are bad apples in all industries, the thing is, we found out a day after that on that same day he was hired in another company in the area. Apparently, he did not like our trucks and we were not honest about what we had available, this is what James told the other company, according to the representative we talked to. When we agreed to terms with James over the phone, he was informed about what trucks we have. A couple of days before his flight he asked again via text message if we have another type of truck, he said he assumed we have Freightliners, and again I made clear what we have available. If this was really a deal breaker for him, why not say so, why the dishonesty, why let us go through all the trouble, time, money, and prep if he always knew he was going elsewhere. He lied and wasted the company's time to get free air tickets, transportation and lodging, and everything the actual company he now drives for should have paid for. A deceiving and unprofessional individual, that is what you can expect when hiring James Donald Burkhalter. * The conversations on the pictures attached display a difference of 8 hours more than our actual operation and office time zone (CST).

    The driver displayed unprofessional behavior during his office visit. After being informed that we couldn't proceed with his orientation due to his previous to his resent employment history (7 companies in the past year) he become aggressive, used inappropriate language, and attempted to provoke a physical confrontation.

    Waste of time, lying about doing his drug test, asked the facility whether he truly did it - answer was negative. We were in the last steps of employment, don't bother with this guy.

    This driver demonstrated an unbelievable level of unprofessionalism. After picking up the load, he drove over 1,000 miles in the wrong direction to go home and ultimately just abandoned the truck and the load. This behavior caused us significant financial losses and severely damaged our customer relationship.

    We strongly advise against working with this driver. Their complete lack of responsibility and accountability is unacceptable. Avoid at all costs.

    Delusional guy, worked with us for 3 days. Truck had issues and he started to call every single department in the company and harass them. Then decided to drive the truck without oil for more than 100 miles to his home town and left a truck at Walmart, sent the truck's location and said we have 4 hours to pick it up. His DAC report says everything you need to know about him. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!

    The worst driver I have ever worked with. He is always late for a delivery. He curses out the dispatcher and lies about having flat tires or issues with the truck so that you can send him money. He will drop the trailer off anywhere to get to Florida. A terrible driver to work with. Stay away if you’re smart!

    Driver was a fairly dependable until 12/09/2024 when this driver rolled over his equipment losing the load and both truck and brand new MAC trailer.  Total loses were over $100k
