    Hey Anti Union Folks...

    I didn't say O/O's were scabs. Just that people who look out only for themselves and undermine a better deal for all are scabs...and of coarse Union Bashers are scabs because they would surely cross a picket line again for themselves and hurt others who have put in alot of time and effort into...

    Rate Cuts

    I know you are all gonna hate me...but this is why we need regulation in some industries. Like min wage...otherwise it's slave labor. The Fuel Surcharge should be solid set by the gov...not negotiated with the costumer. And the carriers should have to pay a min rate per mile. Then they get...

    WOW. For a guy who grew up in a union family...you really hate them. I guess your family should have worked at Walmart so you could have grown up poor an uneducated...well poor anyway haha. Maybe you'd have a better appreciation for those who have little money and no voice. Unions will come...

    Hey Anti Union Folks...

    Actually...In my opinion of coarse (and yes we all know what they're like) "Collective Bargaining" is in total spirit of Capitalism. But instead of one person (easily replaced) negotiating his/her fees, A group (more powerful and able to put more pressure on the people who profit from their...

    Hey Anti Union Folks...

    I must disagree...from what I've been reading and seeing out here, most here are loosing their butts and don't last long in expediting. Maybe because the rates keep going down because any scab is willing to work for food and under cut the next guy instead of showing some solidarity to keep rates...

    Bolt freightlines

    Where are the hotter spots for this carrier? For instance...if I'm in OH, am I better of near Columbus with 2 ahead of me, or Cleveland with 5 ahead of me? Are the in between places an advantage if they are more than 50 miles from each major city...less than? I will be near Debuque IOWA till...

    Rate Cuts

    BTW, You can all thank the continuous "deregulation" of the trucking industry for these barely livable wages O/O's are being forced to work for. I feel bad for the "Big Rig" guys who lost their Investments when the fuel prices soared. I wouldn't even think of investing in more than a cargo van...

    Well if they would have listened to Carter and got us off foreign oil in 1977 like he wanted, we wouldn't be in this mess. But Bush Sr. as head of CIA under Nixon already had his Cronies in Oil and Saudi Arabia making the moves like Iran Contra to keep the hostages there til Reagan got elected...

    Rate Cuts

    If it's so bad they have to cut rates, I hope they're cutting their QC fees as well. I mean if it's that slow it can't be costing these carriers as much for their QC use. If they indeed pay per txt character. If they want o/o's to sacrifice they need to lead by example. Just my opinion. Maybe we...

    where is everyone?

    Hey folks. Man is it slow. Last run I had was last Thurs from KY to Fredricktown OH. Finally came home Mon. after sitting in Columbus all weekend. Anyway, I hear some places are lowering their bids to compete. I hope they're lowering their QC bills to o/o's too. When it's this dead, they're...

    anyone getting loads?

    It's been slow for me too. I just started with BOLT after wasting a few months with TRY HOURS. Happier here even during this slow time. I don't mind sitting for days but would like to know where NOT to sit. I'm in Columbus OH and wondering if Cleveland or Toledo would be better even with more...

    tryhours

    Also if anyone out there has or wants a class action against them...let me know. It's not worth the court /attny fees going it alone. They probably know that so they don't bother paying up.
