I also ran for Bolt, my last run to Tx was the 2nd week of Jan., ran from Savanna Ill. to Laredo. Sat less then 24 hours at the J, NO OTHER BOLT VANS or SPINTERS. Got a short run up to San Antonio then within 24 hours DH'd to Del Rio then loaded out to Densin Tx 400 miles.
I then sat in the Dallas area for about 36 hours and got out to the southside of KC, MO.
I looked back and since sept of last yr when I started, I was in Tx 3 times, each time I had a load within the state and then a load out. I haven't DH'd out of TX yet.
JOIN THE 5 Vans and 4 Semis down here and then talk!
If they are in bad financial shape, they certainly wouldn't be alone, but i wouldn't worry too much, I know the sales staff is keeping busy husling business too. And that leads to another thing, if you are worried about a lack of freight and the financial health of the company, how often do you talk to bboth shippers and consignees about them using Bolt and calling them direct instead of 3rd party? Jim Nagle is the sales manager and he will be more then happy to supply you with a fist full of his business cards. I call him with leads of companies I leave his card at 3-4 times a month.
It is against the rules to call on NLM which seems bulk what we run lately and Alliance boards as well its called BACK SALES!!
We are not employees of Bolt and Jacket isnt much when person calls off your card and you get paid 60 cents a mile.
Sure Sure!
So with all of that said, I have to ask, if you really feel bolt is screwing you over, and this is for both of the 2 complaining, why stay???
You gonna pay for people to get out of the town there are 5 vans here so you showed your sillyness. sure sure dead head 1600 miles home thats right newbie!
