Hi. How is Bolt on cargo vans? What is the average amount per mile?Including fuel surcharge.
Im not afraid...and the statement of them dispatching around you is false.if you are a pain in the azz and cherry pick...well quite possible then....i have been w/ bolt for 4 yrs + and really dont have any complaints.. more i hear what other company's policies are bolt is a cake walk..i avg. Right around $1 p/m in a standard cv. I have been seeing loads above $1 for awhile...the key (as i would think with all companys) is to know who has who by the gonads..paying attention to available vehicles around you... if you are the only available vehicle for 100+ miles.....well you play hardball and your rate goes up...now if your sitting in Detroit well your bargaining leverage isnt as good..negotiating $50 here...$100 there adds up @ the end of the month...not sitting in a bad area..being proactive to move to a better area on your own $$ ..so asking for your avg. Per mile is not the whole picture...i do well with bolt..if i did not i would have left or gone broke by now...

Never did drive for them but by stating you do not have as much bargaining power in a crowded area seems to confirm they will go around you.

We are on % so nobody has a set rate to be higher than the next..i found them to be pretty honest by calling properly according to dwell time...i dont see where $$ would play a factor if dispatch calls you or not... what i was saying in places like Detroit you would be told no most likely if asking for more $$ because there are 10 other vans that will do the load for there price...
Pay by %. How do you know how much they get the load? I like more the setting rate.

If you get paid by a percentage, then it should be no problem in running by the office and doing an audit of the line haul bills. If they won't let you do that, if they don't have that transparency, then you really aren't getting paid a percentage, you're getting paid whatever they can get away with paying you.
