Drivers ARRESTED in Lauderdale County, MS for "DUI, revoked drivers license, drug paraphernalia and drugs in vehicle, no valid DOT license"!
My entire belongings sat unsecured at a truckstop in Mississippi while these males were in jail.
It is still a puzzle why they drove hours more from Colorado Springs to Tennessee, except one driver (the impaired one) has a felony criminal record in Missouri and possibly couldn't risk being caught driving in MO.
Then, after leaving my residence, before Alex and Brayden began driving illegally cross country, with drugs on board and impaired, it was the "I misjudged how much you had, so I need more money for another truck to finish."
The employee, Alex Mills (revoked license guy) tells me that after they loaded the initial biggest truck, they took it to a smaller truck to reload "because we needed the bigger truck for another job in town and that's the reason we had to get second truck for your stuff." Which that action, along with the arrests of both drivers caused a longer time that originally planned.
It is a common scam apparently to began the initial loading and say they have to have more money.
My friends say I am an idiot magnet. "Where do you find these people"?
All I can say: PLEASE investigate the company thoroughly BEFORE allowing them the privilege of moving your precoius possessions or they may never reach you. Fortunately, I did get most of my things.
Still looking for box of electronics, parts of television, and my large desk is on its side still wrapped up in the basement instead of upstairs where it belongs.
I interviewed SIX moving companies and this one underbid them all.
Better to pay a little more for excellence and a company that is legally federally as well as state and county which he is NOT!
Time is a precious thing to waste. This was one of the most stressful experiences dealing with a business to date and sad to say that I paid for the turmoil.
Oh, and the owner threatened me upon arriving at my home saying, "If you don't watch it, I'll get in my truck and take your stuff back to Colorado!"
I let him know that he was in the State of Tennessee now and that he wouldn't get out of the driveway before the State Troopers or County would be here so, better get it unloaded.
He, then wanted to hug and make up.
The males who were previously arrested in MS were here to unload after someone posted bond and they were still driving one of the trucks away with a "revoked driver's license and out of service DOT" (per FMCSA).
Sadly, I had to let them unload to get my things back without them knowing I knew it wasn't the weather and a flat tire (as they claimed) that delayed the delivery for three days. At this point, I was very concerned about my safety as well as the safety of people who were on the roads while Braden Michael Holloway was driving a 24 ft truck while impaired.
With the intimidating owner who was apparently angered because he had to drive to Mississippi to get his son (DUI) out of jail, I am feeling fortunate to not be found in the backwoods unlivened, as well as others not being harmed from an impaired driver.
A federal complaint was filed with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. State of Colorado Police were notified after having had conversations with Lauderdale County Dept. of Investigations and a court date is set for both drivers in FIVE months.
You can check with government department FMCSA as well as the State that the Company claims to be licensed in to see if the Moving Company you are considering is valid and DOT number is "in service". Put in alleged Company's Name or Owner's name and please report for these bogus, illegal operatives if they are "out of service".
The number he has written on the contract was not recognized by State of CO or FMCSA, therefore a breach of contract and services not rendered occurred.
As a senior citizen with a serious cardiac condion and severe arthritis as well as PTSD, I would never want anyone who is healthy to go through a nightmare like this, let alone physically dependent.
I hope, especially military families will be able to use some of my review to know to be aware in the El Paso County, Colorado area that this person is not a reputable, honest, legal business. read more
