Question for Bolt drivers
- Thread starter Zoli
- Start date
Asjssl, if you want to start a thread about how many of what sized animals should be allowed in a cargo van, go for it. But just because you have a different opinion about that than someone else does not justify hijacking a thread in order to attack someone over the difference of opinion. I've seen vans with two adults and four dogs, but that doesn't mean the dogs are unhappy or even that they are regularly out on the road like that for weeks at a time. It's none of your business, unless you are willing to adopt one of those dogs and love it. You know.

So if you are 5 years or younger and sign on with BOLT and stay with them and your van/sprinter goes to 6-7 years its ok?
Thanks,

Yes, they do require that it be in good condition though like any other carrier.

Just for the record, what does Bolt's contract say about auditing the books?
Really doesn't matter what their contract says. If it says a contractor paid on percentage cannot see the freight bills it's illegal. The law is what it is. If you're being paid on percentage as a contractor you have a right to see what the freight actually paid.

I remember the last contract I signed saying we were allowed to see the billing.

Two of them, each slightly different, yes. The only things I'll say about them I have already said.
I wasn't. And never.
You assume too much, and much of it incorrect. It's actually quite prudent to periodically investigate the policies and details of other carriers. It's an aid in determining the additions and subtractions of the short and long list of carriers that you may wish to one day lease with. I've been doing that ever since I started expediting.

I think sometimes people should be less defensive and just read and take in the information that may come from others. My original post said that I was getting a very good average rate but the rates tanked when things slowed down, then it fell to about a dollar and that Bolt will go around you to use a cheaper driver. It seemed as though it was taken personally and I was told I was lying but at the same time it was confirmed they will go around you. I was told I had no business sense and couldn't cut it despite the fact the average rate was the same as I was getting. There really is no reason to take your personal feelings or issues about a person or group of people and apply it to everything they do or say. I have my issues with the way Bolt is run but I certainly don't want to see them fail since so many make their living off of them. If Turtle believes you may have an issue looking at the billing you may want to ask why. Not that Turtle has a reputation as a liar but I would look things over for yourself too and see how you interpret it since the majority of what we do is basically a step above stoner talk.
