    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 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.

    We hired this driver and even paid for his flight and hotel. When it came time to sign the paperwork, he said he didn’t like the job and left. Very unprofessional and a waste of time and money. Would not recommend.

    This very "professional with lots of experience driver", did the drug tests, we got him a flight he went on it all good and once in the yard, took the truck the trailer, and not even 30mins in to the job wrecked the trucks side and caused a incident involving 2 cars and was determined to be his fault. Safe to say, avoid this driver.

    Driver was impatient, refused to wait for loading, and returned the truck to the yard without completing the job, causing delays. NOT RECOMMENDED!

    Driver threatened to damage the truck, abandoned it without notice, and caused significant financial loss. Unprofessional and untrustworthy - not recommended for any position involving company property.

    Started the hiring, process, went through everything and at the end he told that he has an opportunity elsewhere. Not recommended - waste of time.

    SHANE CARABAJAL

    Shane Carabajal is an extremely unreliable driver who constantly makes threats to damage or set fire to the truck. His behavior is aggressive, unprofessional, and dangerous. Keeping him in your fleet poses a serious risk to your equipment, your company’s safety, and your clients. Do not hire or work with this individual under any circumstances.

    We employed this driver for nearly three months without incident. At his request, we permitted him to take the truck home in order to spend time with his family. However, without any prior notice, he abandoned the truck in his yard, refused to return the keys, and caused damage to the trailer by striking a gas station pole. His actions demonstrated a complete lack of professionalism and responsibility. Based on this experience, we cannot in good faith recommend him for any driving position, due to that your truck might be dropped at any given time. DO NOT and I will repeat myself, DO NOT employ this driver.

    ABSOLUTELY NOT RECOMMENDED! Went through all the hiring process, everything was fine, even waited one month for this driver to come. Once the hiring day came, we booked him a flight, he missed it, but still came and then he told me that someone else picked him up and he started the hiring process with another company. Not reliable and unprofessional - not recommended! AVOID!
