You saw my new paint scheme?? ;)

Just had the opportunity to meet Preacher Rich. He looks just like his avatar. :)

Thanks, Cheri ;)

I resemble that remark :o

As independent contractors it is up to each of us to make the best decisions for our business. After 3 years at Bolt I will say that I have been offered loads below a rate that makes sense. I make the choice of whether to accept or counter offer. That is the way I choose to run my business...

I recognized him from Miss Kat's description [snort]

I'm thinking that MissKat may have met Xiggi?

I would suggest checking with Shane at Turtle Top if looking at the Ultra Maxx. Maxx Automotive, out of TN, is no longer one of their dealers. Shane will let you know who the dealer in your area is.

Can I double quote Chef's advice? Do Not Take the Cheap Load Offers. DO give counter offers. When offered a load, tell them what rate you need for the load. Very often you will get the load for a decent rate. Anne is the one to answer your questions.

If you have a carrier that fails to hold up their part of the bargain already, why would you think that they would be willing to pay the penalty?

Perhaps the OP wouldn't mind if I change spelling for him/her . . . do they pay weakly? Looks like the answer would be yes. In the interest of full disclosure I was leased on with WW, as truck #002. I hauled their first load and when I delivered on 12/26/08, I was told that I had just...

A fleet owner that I used to drive for ran a conversion van. The plate read: FR8 2 MV.

I registered without asking my prospective guest if he wants to attend (whoops, not used to thinking that way :o). Should he register individually or can we get him added on at the show?

If you are not already a member of OOIDA you may want to consider joining. The membership dues are $25 for a year if you have a members number to put down for referral. $10 for additional family members. One of their services is that they review contracts. They will let you know what is...

I have BestPass from the Maryland Motor Truck Association. It costs me $1.50 a month. The EZ pass is set for automatic refill to $100 when it drops below $25. The Prepass is $13.50 a month through OOIDA. Norpass is free. So why would a thinking person pay $20.00 a week?

:D Love the Organ Donors sign :D

I saw the gnome on the trailer Thursday evening. I-94, in Indiana, westbound. Has anyone else seen it?

OP didn't state exactly when they stopped paying the Occupational/Accident premiums, but Bolt did change recommended carriers this past summer. Instead of an insurance provider doing an automatic deduction fro contractors new provider is paid through payroll deduction. Contractors were...

Now that's impressive!! :D If I were in the area, I would be cooking, but I'm actually taking time off until after New Years. (first time to be oos for the Christmas/New Year holiday since I returned to driving 12 years ago) :eek:

Merry Christmas to you from Bolt dispatch. Good to see that they are treating you well.
