This driver went home after receiving his paycheck, then illegally took control of the truck without authorization. He is now demanding $5,000 and threatening to move the truck to a private yard and refuse to return it unless he gets paid.
This is vehicle theft and extortion, and we have already reported the case to the DOT and FMCSA for further investigation.
Warning to any company considering hiring this driver — extremely unprofessional and dishonest behavior.
