On November 28 2022, Emal Tawab refused to bring his truck to the company yard. After pleading about financial woes, we agreed to pay him early once returning to the yard. Instead, upon receiving the funds, he drove to, and abandoned the truck at Loves Travel Center. Shortly after, a company representative went to recover the truck and found the gear shifting column and turn signal columns broken off. Specifically destroyed to prohibit the truck from operation. The electronic logbook tablet device was also stolen from the truck. Prior to abandoning the truck, Emal was extremely disrespectful, spewing profanity at members of our fleet management team. We will never again hire someone who is sitting in a hotel room, 1000 miles from home.
