Bolus freight

Never worked for them myself, but they are based not far from my company..

-equiptment is average at best
-a lot of northeast regional
-they advertise all the time for drivers (high turnover)

Call them for pay, training, benefits, etc..

IMO there are better choices but to get some experience you have to do what you have to do..

 

Bob looks out for his drivers, I'm told. I talked to one driver that runs mainly NYC - he's happy to gross $1k/week. Others gross less. Their yard is full on the weekends, so I suppose most drivers are off on weekends.

edit: This is for the Scranton location.

 

No matter where you end up, you can always find something better if you keep looking. Just figure out what's important to you and then find a company that gives you those things. $150 / week sounds very low though. There are a lot of local outfits in your area to choose from, but I don't know how many of them will take a driver with zero experience.

 

Bolus has some pretty ratty looking equipment, idk... they are still in business though, so the place has work and it is what you make of it type deal.

 

You'll find there's a trade off between pay and equipment. New equipment means smaller paychecks. Older equipment means larger paychecks. In most cases; there are always exceptions.

 

With today's CSA, I'd take good equipment for a little less pay than potential violations for a larger paycheck.
