This company is not what it is made out to be. These people only look out for them selves. I went to work at bolt express on 11/21-and was dispatched out on my first load with them on 11/23 i made my delivery on 11/24 in penn. And from there i set for over 4 days witout pay as well as having to set up in a truck stop because i could not run the truck to stay warm for fear of not having fuel. As well as i had to go for these days not having food or money to buy food due to having to have money to run toll roads i had to go without showers as well this was an exstreamly imbarassing situation for me after i finally got out of penn i made it to michigan just to do without again it did me no good to ask for money because i was told it's not my problem buy the owners i continued to run until i wound up at the hospital in berea ky. On 12/3 which i was told at that time by the doctor that i had to get myself home to be checked out by my own doctor which i still have not been able to do because after all this running over the road i find out that i still get no pay because i have to pay for the fuel as well as the repairs of this truck that i don't own as well as i have to pay for the tolls that were not mine. The company and owner told me to take the toll roads. They are making me pay for there satelite system which is not mine either these expenses are not my responsiblityand i need some help from someone to get what is rightfully mine. I worked for 11 days and used maybe 30 dollars for the use of my phone which the company required me to have all together i may have had about 35 dollors to myself for over 11 days and trust me it's imposible to live on the road for 11 days on 35 dollors. Once i got home i was in for 1 week and when i was ready to go again i was told to go and pick up my load and come back to the house and i would recieve pay well i did just that and still no pay finally i had enough i can not starve myself to have a job and i can not drive a truck for nothing only to pay someone elses bills. I am fased with utility shut offs as well as having to move my home from the rented lot. And all because i was promised to be worked and paid. I do not expect anyone to pay me for nothing hawever i do expect to be paid for driving over 2500 miles. Once again. Which i have been paid nothing for. And whats really bad these people say i can do nothing about it because i don't have money that it takes to hire a real lawyer well they are right i don't have money but God knows what they are doing. If there is anyone out there that has had this problem please don't be afraid to say something being afraid is what lets them win. If i only had a chance i would stand up for all truck drivers that have been misled and left out in the cold by promises that these companys make before you go to work and then during orientation. Just one thing to say to these companys out there. Don't say things you have no intentions of backing up. Because sooner or later someone is going to stand up. And well i am standing up. And i will continue to stand until something is done about not just this company but also the other companys that are getting away with this same behavior. Always remember we the drivers are what builds these companies. And we do deserve to be treated with respect. Thank you for your time and please. Any response is welcome. Thans again
