Wendito Talabert - CDL Driver Reviews

DO NOT HIRE. Issues from day 1. Hired this guy only because of his cousin's recommendations, but had some red flags from the very beginning. Late for his first flight to the company. Made 3000 LBS overweight on the FIRST DAY in the company. Constantly coming back to FL for various excuses even if the deal was three weeks on the road, one week home. It would always be family emergency, doctors etc. Would come back home to FL for a day or two and than would turn of his cell and stop responding. Would start driving few days later and that would keep happening. Last week refused to start driving and return the truck to Chicago so I had to send another driver to pick it up. Can not comprehend simple things and good part of deliveries would be late. Had him hired for a four months and it was unpleasant and painful experience. Filled a lawsuit against the company for emotional pain and unpaid wages (got paid every dime) in order to get small settlement.

Wendito did company paid drug test, filled out driver employment application and agreed to drive for us. I had a truck parked waiting for him for a few days which he was supposed to start driving on Monday. During a weekend he ignored all texts and calls, and so on Monday went with different company without giving me any notice. Wasted my time and money. Not serious and not honest. Not recommending hiring.
