Picked up the truck before Thanksgiving, went home "tore his ACL" and told us to come get a loaded trailer & truck. A lot of talk, and no action. His employment history is suspicious too, avoid
Total waste of time. After keeping the truck for him for 2 weeks and spent 500$ on orientation, hotels, paperwork and everything else just before getting in the truck so he can start driving informed us that he changed his mind! That he would not be able to handle it! As well failed the road test for the truck I was keeping for him 2weeks. Lost of time and money in my opinion no experience at all
left our truck by his home , had to fly to get our truck, driver was sick in last 2 month 2 times , spent each time a week in truck without work , we was good company , paying for all layovers and everything else, our mistake we didnt had deposit, no we have fly get a truck!!
We booked an Amazon load for him to go home. He abandoned the truck on small truck stop in suburbs of Nashville. Turned off the phone, took keys from truck and never answered any texts nor phone calls. We had to reject the load. He appears like really good guy. Absolutely do not understand. No communication. After unloading without notifying about finishing unloading starts driving towards shower and you can find him 80 miles away in the opposite direction from next pickup. Never communicates if there is something wrong with the truck. Kept driving for 2000 miles home after camshaft went bad, engine started to make loud noises and truck was loosing power. Parked a truck on yard and didn't mention anything until we found out about it after a week. Does not take responsibility for anything.
The driver terribly damaged the truck and was advised to bring it to the appointed location for the further mechanical process. Instead of doing so, the driver left the damaged truck in another state and went home keeping the company's fuel card and requiring money to return it. Moreover, the sleeper was kept horribly and required instant detailed cleaning. Do not recommend hiring.
This guy has talked to several recruiters. He gets approved and then states he found another job within 24 hours. He has done this several, several times. I would not waist my time or breath on this driver. Seems to play alot of games. He even told one of our other recruiters to f*** you.
He is a driver who loves speeding, his last harsh braking shifted the load and damaged our brand new trailer.
He was ensuring us that is nothing to worry about, he went home for a week and texted us that he deadhead from Indianapolis to Chicago to dropped our equipment on the terminal. His explanation was that got approved to lease new Freightliner Cascadia 2023 and is on his way to AZ to pick it up.
We found our brand new trailer with nearly $9k damages on it, he managed to damage brand new rim and brand new tire too. There were $2k+ damages on the truck, the truck hood was not functioning too.
This particular driver was requesting to go home every week, and once his dispatcher was not able to get him to deliver near his home so he decided to deadhead 300-400miles without authorization. So hiring him will just complicate your business, avoid!
Driver claims to have 25yrs of experience but does not follow simple instructions. She always has excuses on why she can't driver and she acted like she had no knowledge on how to disconnect a trailer from the truck. She just always wants cash advances just complaining about money and that she she's hungry etc. Once she has the money she just wastes it on cigarettes'. In a total of 2 weeks working with us she only completed one load and she got her phone disconnected and expected us to pay her phone bill. SO HIRE AT YOUR OWN RISK SHE IS NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS AND DRAMA!!
Derrick doesn't want to return the truck and trailer. He is always late for deliveries and refuses to use ELD. He does not answer calls and won't reply to any messages.
One of the worst guy I worked with, never on time , calling the brokers all the time , was disrespectful with the staff at the office. Dropped the truck in the middle of nowhere and left negative 15k.
waste of time driver,seemed very interested, was told that we get charged for drug tests and to not go if hes not sure... after dt results came in 2 days later he refused to answer for another day and later said he found another company ..dont hire this driver, he wont come
Waste of money and time. Bought the ticket, no show no call. Traveling on company expense. Save yourself money and make sure he buy his own ticket if you want him.

Damaged LH door mirror.
Damaged front bumper.

Damaged RH door mirror.
Damaged trailer's rim.
Damaged trailer's door.

Quit under dispatch. We had to cancel 2 loads booked for the weekend.
Drove 600 unauthorized empty miles to other company to do drug test and start hiring process. Had to recover the truck from their yard.
Avoid!!! This guy will seem nice at first, but he has some mental issues, shouting and cursing, unreliable and there wasn't a single load for which he was not late. Keeps asking for cash advance or else he won't deliver the load. He also said that he hopes that he will get into an accident with the truck, so he could file a claim.
STAY AWAY STAY AWAY!!! Driver abandoned truck and fully loaded trailer and stopped all communications with company flight risk driver not worth anyones time or money!!!
