This might be a great place to work and the owner might be a great person, but this driver has been keeping the whole truck stop from sleeping tonight because he kept honking his air horn while he was parked here, with his headlights on, blinding other drivers trying to park. When I pointed out to him that what he was doing was very rude, he said I was being rude and told me to turn up my radio. I wasn’t the only driver affected by this, just the only one to say something to him after the third time he did it. Very unprofessional driver.

Driving down the Hardy tollway in Houston Driver had left so much P gravel on his flatbed trailer that it was bouncing off hitting the road and breaking windshields more than one windshield was cracked because of this lazy driver, not sweeping off his deck before you loaded a bunch of fiberglass tubing. Ridiculous I held the CDL for 20 years never left that kind of junk on my flatbed.

What kind of drivers do you hire?? Putting peoples life in danger, had a truck driver tail gate me in Houston and got on my side and almost took me out of road!!! I called to complain, they can cause a death if that driver keeps driving recklessly.
