Driver Eric Harper has worked for our company for 14 months. We always pay our driver's on time and every penny they earn. Eric was constantly complaining "he has no money". In 14 months he has made $83273.51 He always had a negative attitude. Many broker's have called our company and complained to our dispatcher's about his attitude and rudeness.
On 01/11/2023 Eric delivered a load at 7AM in Laredo, TX and afterwards requested a day off. We sent him the next load information on 01/11/2023 PM for the pick up 01/12/2023 at 7:30AM and he confirmed it. The load was from Laredo, TX to Chandler, AZ. Eric lives in Casa Grande, AZ and instead of picking up the load and bringing the equipment home, he deliberately did not pick it up, abandoned our truck and trailer at the Pilot in Laredo, TX. He did not give us two weeks notice, did not turn in any of his paperwork which is against company policy he signed. He made our company buy parts for the truck and he said he will replace them himself, but our driver who came to pick up the truck found out none of them were replaced. Basically he bought the parts for our money and took it with him when he quit. He also stole the snow socks our company purchased. The truck steer tires were one of them at 81 PSI and the other one at 90 PSI which ruined them while running them at that pressure. Would never rehire him again, ever.
