    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.

    Mr. Randall Burson is not eligible for rehire. During his employment, he demonstrated significant issues involving honesty, judgment, and reliability. In one incident, he attempted delivery of a load that required tarping but arrived without the load being properly protected, resulting in a freight claim. Initial statements regarding the incident were inconsistent and changed after customer video evidence was reviewed. In a separate incident, Mr. Burson abandoned company equipment while under dispatch, leaving a truck, trailer, and customer freight stranded. Due to these events and the resulting loss of confidence in his ability to safely and responsibly represent the company, we would not consider him for future employment.

    Mr. Detonio Price was engaged as a 1099 contractor and, at the time of separation, was actively participating in a DOT SAP follow-up testing program from a prior FMCSA Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse violation. During an active delivery assignment, multiple company personnel reported concerns regarding his condition, including slurred speech, confusion, and behavior inconsistent with prior interactions. Law enforcement subsequently responded to the delivery location, where Mr. Price was arrested for Public Intoxication and Public Urination. Following an internal review, the contractor relationship was terminated immediately for violation of company safety policies and failure to remain fit for duty while operating under the carrier's authority. No additional FMCSA Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse violation was reported by the company related to this incident.

    Mr. Ray was employed from 04/28/2026 through 05/08/2026.

    Prior to receiving his assigned truck, Mr. Ray was dispatched to Texas with another company driver to recover two recently purchased fleet vehicles. During that trip, management received reports of continual complaints regarding company equipment and negative comments directed toward the other driver.

    Upon assignment of a detailed and service-ready 2019 Kenworth T680 double-bunk sleeper, Mr. Ray continued expressing dissatisfaction with the equipment and requested additional accommodations. To assist him, the company dispatched freight toward his home area so he could obtain additional personal items.

    While under dispatch, Mr. Ray requested and received an emergency cash advance, stating his family was facing eviction. After delivering his load, he advised dispatch that he had a family emergency and remained unavailable for approximately one week. Shortly after receiving his first settlement, he informed ownership that he would not be returning to work and instructed the company to retrieve its equipment because he was leaving for California to deal with the "family emergency".  Application shows the use of "Family Emergency" a number of times for reason to resign.

    Ownership offered financial assistance to return the tractor and trailer to the terminal and attempted to coordinate a reasonable return plan. Mr. Ray refused all proposals and abandoned the tractor at his residence while leaving the trailer unattended at a truck stop.

    The company was forced to dispatch another driver, purchase airfare, and incur additional recovery expenses to retrieve the equipment. Based on his conduct, refusal to cooperate, abandonment of company assets, and costs incurred by the company, Mr. Ray is not eligible for rehire and would not be recommended for employment.

    Mr. Washington completed the hiring process, accepted the position, agreed to compensation and onboarding terms, and was scheduled for travel at company expense. At Mr. Washington's request, travel arrangements were changed from June 8, 2026, to June 15, 2026, resulting in additional travel costs.

    Prior to Mr. Washington's scheduled start date, the company incurred expenses associated with the hiring process, including motor vehicle record reviews, Clearinghouse queries, pre-employment drug testing, administrative processing, and travel arrangements. After these resources had been committed, Mr. Washington ceased communication and failed to respond to multiple phone calls, text messages, and emails.

    Mr. Washington provided no notice that he no longer intended to proceed with employment and made no effort to request cancellation of the company-purchased airline ticket or other onboarding arrangements. Fortunately, the airline reservation was canceled prior to departure and a travel credit was obtained, mitigating a portion of the financial loss.

    Based on Mr. Washington's failure to communicate, failure to honor previously agreed employment commitments, and disregard for the time and resources invested in the hiring process, the application was closed and Mr. Washington was designated as ineligible for future employment consideration.
