Bolt Express Expidited wrongfully ran me for 11 days and would not allow me any expense money for food as well as left me stranded 4 days without pay toledo, Ohio

The above rebuttal is some what correct. Your issue is with the truck owner and not with Bolt Express.  If you are going to file a report you should file it on the right person or company. I also am an expedite driver and was also taken advantage of by a dishonest truck owner when I first started driving. I did not let that deterr me from the profession and now am with a very honest owner leased on to Express 1. My husband and I are team drivers and are making decent money.
What you have experienced is quite common. There are many dishonest truck owners out there that will take advantage of you, especially as a new driver.(To be honest it is my belief they prey on the newbies) You must check out a truck owner before signing a contract with them and driving their truck. Two of the best places to check out an expedite truck owner is expeditersonline.com (this is a website for expediter drivers and people that want to break into the expedite business, you can find out information about owners by posting a thread requiring about the owner you need info on. You can also find a truck owner to drive for by checking the free classified section or by posting yourself as available under free classifieds) and here on rip off report (always run the truck owners name through ripoffreport' search engine before signing a contract with them). If you have already driven an expedite truck one of my suggestions to you, if you are wanting to drive for an honest owner would be to call a company called Expediter Services. There is a link to them on Expediters Online's home page. We drove for them for over a year and they are very honest. Their set up is 60/40 meaning you get 40 percent of the line haul, they get 60 percent and they pay for everything, tolls, truck washes, repairs, oil changes, fuel, q-com, ect. They have trucks leased on to Express 1, PantherII, and Fed Ex. Just remember the fair split between driver and owner is either 60/40 or 40/60. Whoever gets the 60 pays tolls, fuel and q-com. The driver never pays for truck repairs or oil changes that is the truck owners responsibility. Truck owner should also pay for oil and anti-freeze regardless of split. If you are offered anything different then this say no to the truck and keep looking. Good luck!

First, you must understand, the company itself is a non-asset based firm, meaning they have no actual trucks themselves. Second, your contact is not with the company directly but with the owner-operator, unless of course you are the owner-operator with a truck leased onto with the company.

But, in this case, it appears you are a driver for an owner-operator which you should have had a contract with this person. In this contract it should be telling you when  you get paid and how you get paid. Also, it will tell you what is you have to pay for. In most cases, it will tell you it will be 14-21 days before you get paid any monies. In all cases it will tell you that you have to buy your own food and cover your own expenses, such as for phones, showers etc.

In most cases, at least when I drove for them, the company in this case, Bolt Express would place enough fuel money on the fuel card where you could run the truck, pickup and drop the load plus keep the truck running to stay warm.

The problem here is not with Bolt but with your owner-operator and the contract you signed with him. If he states in this contract when you get paid then not seeing your money during your 11-days on the road is more than likely within the contract agreement.

Read your contract, if you dont have one signed, then that error is on you. If his payment terms is in the contract and he doesn't have to pay you till the 14-21 days then that error is on you.

You are a private contractor. Your contract is with the owner of the truck - not with Bolt Express. Read the contract, more than likely he is within his legal right to deduct the cost of recovering the truck from you, any expenses he may have occured with you in the truck.

Find someone who truely understands this private contractor agreements, but I can assure you Bolt Express has no reason, nothing to gain, or nothing to lose by not assisting with your problems - you did not work for them, you worked for the owner-operator.
