    Just because it doesn't allow anonymous submissions doesn't mean it's private. Heck one doesn't need an account to read....

    I would say that being able to turn down a load makes Bolt a better company than most. Many companies are forced dispatch.

    If you run hard enough most all forced dispatch will let you decline a load

    I haven’t had Doritos I years. Had a couple yesterday.

    Tasty.


    Hopefully this redirects this thread.

    Doritos aren’t for everyone. Maybe you’re not cut out for Doritos. I’d suggest you get out of eating chips and move onto something else.
    :p

    Thanks Otter. My intentions for my threads have always been to share experience honestly. If I'm going to get flak for reporting anything other than rainbows and lollipops I will move on. I have never liked Doritos.

    Terry, it's because of people like you that companies will accept and give cheap crap loads to their drivers. Because their drivers (like you) think that they have to run them as part of their job, instead of paying them extra to do the harder work.

    @UturnGirl, I agree with you on that run. It was 8 hours worth of miles and 8 hours worth of pay with 12 to 14 hours of work with all the stops. Your company is undoubtedly getting a premium over a straight mileage run. Yes, the run is a typical day in a trucker life but the pay was not on par. Just say no. lol
     
    UturnGirl, intrepidor, speedyk and 3 others Thank this.
