They ruined my clutch

Clutch is almost gone now. Would love to give more stars, but they've cost me a lot of money. They actually just hire a driver to pick up the car and move it. They weren't involved in the actual moving of the car.

So why 2 stars? Pick up went smooth. Drop off was a bit weird because I had to pick it up at a guys house. Not sure of price because it was corporate move.

My clutch was ruined. I drive a sporty car and had a perfect clutch because it had just been replaced. I assumed a semi driver could handle a manual car, but I was wrong. I picked it up and immediately smelled burned clutch. Now the thing hates to get going in first and stumbles when shifting. I DID NOT have this problem before. I don't think there was joy-riding or anything, but this guy absolutely destroyed a part that's going to cost $1000+ to fix. It's a risk you take when moving cross country, but I thought I could count on him to know how to drive it. We even put in the notes that it's a MANUAL. I assumed he burned it up trying to get it on the truck and into his hilly driveway when he went home. It's terrible. Would have filed an official complaint, but there's no way to prove that HE was the one that damaged it...so I'm stuck.

Also they state to have less than 1/4 tank in the car so I had about 1/8th. When I picked it up, it was below empty and sputtered to a gas station. All in all, don't use these people unless you have an automatic or they can screen their drivers better. It was a stock clutch so there's no reason for it to be ruined. I'm sure the flywheel is burned up as well lesson learned.
