    I think someone had a bad attitude with a dispatcher because I was with them not once but twice, full time back 1985 to 1992 then partime (weekend work )1993 to 1994 until I had a better job offered to me. Always the check was there, yes there was mistakes with the check but they always made it right .Yes they had eggheaded dispatchers that they thought they knew more then the driver. Older equipment yes but I also seen new stuff out of service. And the equipment was driven in the inspection bay after every trip checked before put on the ready line. Problems ? I made a phone call had a answer...Older Macks ,yes but some people are spoiled... Drove a "U" model from Scranton to Syracuse,Buffalo,or Rochester,NY. Yes they pissed me off a few times but I had to look at the whole picture. Their new application is a little more demanding then some other companies ....

    I worked for bolus and I had my ups and downs with them I saw so many come and go and come back 7 or 8 times so if there so bad why do they always come ya the pay ain't great the equipment isn't all the best but there some perks like getting home for the weakend or even passing by the house a couple times a weak not every companies perfect joey always to care of my truck all you have to do is ask always washed my truck every other weak.how can you exspect. Company to. Be good if the driver doesn't care about his own pride as a driver even though you had a bad exspeirence ill bet theyed hire you back maybe if you tryed a little harder maybe things would have went better for you

    First Chris is no longer there he has been gone for about 3years now so you have been out of the loop for a long time. now yes some of the trucks are old but they run great and they are not that bad to work for. thank you.

    Run for your life!!! These guys are crooks starting at the top with Ed and Joe Bolus ! Equitment is crap, every week your paycheck is short and when you question it they will screw you with every run they can. Bob the so called driver manager has no BALLS at all and doesn't stand up for the drivers and after the first contact about an issue he will hide from you and your calls! You will not get your $300 escrow money back either, they will go through old route sheets and find made up reasons not to pay you , such as out of route miles or so called late stops or any reason they can not to pay you ! They need the $ to pay for their corvettes and BMWs as drivers drive around in bed bug infested death traps!

    There that bolus driver a couple years back that almost ran the mm57 wb scale on i-80 in pa...running with his tandems allll the way back (53'), weaving all over the place when i tried to pass him. I did eventually get around him and noticed he was in that "hunched over the wheel, face almost glued to the windshield" mode, and when i seen that weigh station was open, i pulled in and noticed he was about to bypass the ramp...i yelled to him that the scale was open, and he swerved into the ramp. To my surprise they passed him through, if i hadn't yelled to him about the coop being open, he would've gotten his bacon fried for bypassing an open weigh station.(and yes, i was passed through too.)
