    Bolt Express

    Sorry, Bolt pays a percentage of line haul and I used the >85 cents as an average. Again, I am not new to this so just looking for opinions on the companies.. I'm all set on figuring out the business end. Thanks

    Yup, gotta love those Sprinters. Tough enough to make money expediting, but expediting with a Sprinter??? Stick to American Iron. It's good for you and it's good for your country!
