    PLEASE READ IT AND BEWARE!!! We have hired this driver in November of 2020. First couple of months he seemed as a good driver. Every week he took $200 cash advance even thought his paychecks were over $2k a week. After running for couple months he stopped in OKC and told us a story that his father has passed away and asked for a $500. We offered him to fly him home which he declined. Next day he asked additional $400 which we approved. After receiving $900 on top of his regular $200 advance he disappeared for 3 days while under the load. After that he was ok for another couple of months until once again he went thru OKC and once again came up with a emergency that he needed $500 additional dollars on top of his $200 weekly advance. Since it was an "emergency" we have approved it once again. And to our surprise he disappeared for 3 days again while being under load. After that, couple more months passed by when he was scheduled to go home but after his delivery close by home he demanded $500 on top of his another $200 advance which this time we refused to give him. So he told us that he will park the truck at the truck stop and we can come and get it because he will quit if we don give him more money. After couple of hours we came into mutual agreement that he will stay and start driving in a couple of days. And to our shock next morning we have noticed he used our fuel card to pump out over 800 gallons of fuel in the matter of 6 hours in the middle of the night. That's when we blocked his fuel card and started to try to reach him with no luck. At that point we coordinated another driver to go to Atlanta and recover our truck. We had police assist since he was parked in a shady area. When our recovery driver got there he was shocked. Melvin was so high on drugs that he didn't even know what was happening and our truck was stripped like never seen before. In just 2 days Melvin removed and sold X-Guard deer guard with brackets, all of the mud flaps with brackets, over 800 gallons of fuel, original Volvo refrigerator, microwave, memory foam mattress, power inverter, power distributor box that distributes power throughout the truck , all of the power outlets, 4 sets of brand new snow chains, fuel caps and privacy curtains. Total estimated cost of stolen things was over $9k. Police report was made and investigation was started. So if you do decide to hire this drug addict and thief please beware of the possible outcome.

    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

    Horrible experience with this driver. Throughout the hiring process the driver was easy to deal with, always saying that he knows what he's doing and he's a "professional". He will tell you that he's looking to run hard and has never missed an appointment but he's slow and unreliable. He worked with us for a month and some change, then he decided to abandon the truck with a loaded trailer in the middle of nowhere, started threatening the dispatch and safety department of absolute nonsense. Would've gave him a 0 rating if it would've been possible.

    Wouldn't recommend hiring him. Asked specifically for rental car, picked it up and next morning he was still at home running his errands. Said he will be leaving out soon, we said we will no longer proceed with him and he returned rental car 2 days later.

    Horrible experience. I haven't checked him here and got him a rental car to come to orientation. He never came, once I told him we will be reporting him to the police he dropped the car at a random location and said to come and collect the car ourselves. We occurred so many additional charges for the rental car.

    This driver was completely unreliable and dishonest. He took our truck home, telling us he would start driving on Monday. Monday came, and he didn't start. Then he told us he would start on Tuesday. Instead, he waited until his salary was deposited into his account and suddenly claimed he broke his hand. He sent us pictures as proof, but when we checked the X-ray, it showed the year 2023. When we called him to ask about it, he panicked and hung up the phone. Now we have an abandoned truck sitting in Florida, and he refuses to bring it back to the terminal. Completely unprofessional and irresponsible. Do not hire this driver.

    We scheduled him for a job, and he assured us multiple times that he was coming. Based on his word, we purchased a flight ticket for him, but he never showed up and stopped responding. We ended up losing money on the ticket.

    If you're considering hiring him, be cautious don’t book flights or any other transportation unless you're certain he’ll follow through.

    We hired this CDL driver, and unfortunately, our experience was highly unsatisfactory. His performance was consistently weak, with frequent delays and an inability to meet schedules. Communication was extremely difficult, and when questioned about delays, he often provided unconvincing or inconsistent explanations. Additionally, he abandoned our equipment in Las Vegas, and upon recovery, we discovered significant damages to the truck, as well as stolen items. Given these issues, we'd recommend other trucking companies think twice before hiring him. Please see the pictures attached 🙂
