    Obscene phone calls

    Exactly the point, paullud. I'm paying $30 a week for them to not know where I am. Google Latitude does a better job and it's free. I think there is some laziness on the part of the desk people. They can also manually ping the truck and update the location like the mac 25 does from the...

    rate/miles snapshot

    I put it here because other than newbies also ask for the info. It gets less buried, since few others use the bolt forum. And from time to time I refer to it in the other forums. I figure if someone is thinking about bolt they'll come down to the carriers forum to see what kind of things are...

    new to Bolt and expedited

    Welcome to the club. Not a lot of Bolt people use the carriers forum as you can see. Most hang out in the open forums. eb

    Short Runs

    One trend I think I started seeing late this summer is a reduction in the impossible-to-make pick up times. It's welcome by me. eb

    Short Runs

    What you doing down here, Chef? I have been on an extended string of one load weeks. In part, my own doing in trying to get maintenance done. In part, runs to the nether regions. Fortunately the few runs have been long ones. I haven't picked up any momentum to compare to what you are...

    rate/miles snapshot

    New people and others frequently ask about real world numbers. Here is a snapshot of a recent three week period. Loads is the number of loads for the week. The total miles is the loaded miles plus deadhead to pickup. Pay is the total pay for the run. rate1 is pay divided by total miles, and...

    The Old Yr is Done, The New Yr has Started

    Dennis, I didn't run the whole year, but in the end I ended up making out better than I did in '07. I ran differently, but Bolt allowed me to do so. eb

    is bolt a joke

    cd, It sounds like you have two groups of people complaining about you. One group who thinks you are getting their miles and rates, and then another group who doesn't want anyone to know it is possible to get good miles and rates. Hmm. I'm just living and learning. eb

    is bolt a joke

    I'm working on a spead sheet to track my numbers. Until then I have little to publish. No use publishing unorganized numbers. The numbers are only going to mean something if they're framed properly. eb

    hey anne

    Hey Anne, Nice to chat with you today when I was looking for the orange safety vest. I was in a bit of a rush. I was on a load and trying to stay ahead of schedule eventhough I had already stopped at three stores before stopping at hq in my quest for the proper colored safety vest. eb

    weekend availability

    Do you tell dispatch that you will be available during the weekend if you've been available all week? I have been operating under the assumption that if my status hasn't changed then why bother telling them that I would still be in service. This past Monday it sounded like there was confusion...

    Not Busy??

    i'm almost busy. How does freight look now compared to a month ago? I just started running in the last month, so I have nothing to compare the current freight with. I did follow the forum all winter, but I didn't have first hand experience to compare it to. It does look like I'm getting more...

    new digital q.c

    Back to this relatively old topic. I've come to realize that this portable unit I have in the vehicle is a cell phone model. At least that's what it appears. I can park inside and under places and not lose the signal which is nice when looking for shade. I can also put the antenna under my...

    may roll call

    cd, Sounds like you've had a pretty decent couple weeks. Compared to you I'm only running fairly well, but each week gets a little better. I still feel like I'm flying blind--growing pains I guess. eb

    may roll call

    I delivered a load in Toledo, early this a.m. Haven't decided if I'll hang out in the area. I left a stack of loose log book forms in the bolt HQ drivers lounge if anyone wants them. They're free. eb
