Unable to register for Bolt FIRST

TomTrucker · May 14, 2008

I am able to link onto Bolt FIRST web page, but am unable to connect to the registration site when I click the "here" button. Any help? Thanks. (Same with Bolt Express direct connection to their web site)

Their site must not be able to handle the volume or something, becuz mine just keeps spinning and spinning, can't get on either.

Spoken like a true recruiter... always be available means you never have a life, just stare at that wheel a lil while longer, then accept every junk load that gets offered, then keep a positive attitude when your truck breaks but you cant fix it cuz you've been sitting more than running. I'm not speaking of BOLT (never worked there), I'm speaking about 99% of recruiters. Anybody want to guess what they're doing when their lips are moving..?? Just ask one how much NLM they do.

I wonder why the post was deleted. I believe the poster stated that they only made $800 in a couple of weeks, was not real happy and called Bolt to complain about it. I see no real reason to delete a post like that.

He deleted the post himself. Says so underneath.

Wow, I made 800 (almost) my first day at Bolt.

I deleted the post because they are nice people.

Wow, Dave, that's pretty good - especially in a 1950 Sprinter!

Hard to get parts for it. It is a vehicle ahead of it's time. Warranty ran out about 58 years ago.

OntarioVanMan · Jul 30, 2008

I will give Bolt credit for this.... They are paying me what they owe me since I terminated my contract.

Yeah, I am going to try them all til I find a place that is a good fit.
Seriously though, I see advice after advice on EO that says not every carrier is good for every owner, and a person needs to find the one that fits them.

I think that is great advice, but how can a person do that unless they work with the carrier?

Every one of them tell you they are the best, and I have talked to hundreds of drivers out here, and each company has people who say it is the best, or the worst, or everything in between.

It costs me a lot of money to switch carriers, but if there is a better method than just trying them, I would be glad to hear it.

Does it really cost that much to change in a Sprinter?
Or do they requie a new medical everytime? Just the downtime switching would cost abit....

New medical, start up costs, and time lost, and trying to learn a new system.

I guess a lot of money is a relative term.
