Quick question about BOLT express and 1099 work

Hey gang...

I can't seem to find much on BOLT express (straight trucks). Does anyone have inside knowledge or a link to some real information? I was offered a 1099 position, which I have heard both pro and cons for. As a fairly new guy in the industry, is 1099 decent? or stay far away from?

Thanks....ROLL SAFE!!

This is becoming the tricky issue. What someone defines as a duffle bag. I've heard from gym bag size, up to a military knapsack cargo bag. By the time you have clothes, toiletries, and bedding stuff...That little ol' bag is gonna be busting at the seams. lol

The general rule is try to restrict yourself to one duffle. Depending on how long your training phase is and whether or not you'll be routed home, you'll be pretty much living with whatever you can fit in that one bag. I personally would suggest just the basics: enough sets of clean clothes for the time out (plan on showering every other day at minimum), toiletries, and some form of entertainment for down times.

Yes, they are sister companies.

Congrats! I'm looking at going Jim Palmer on the 27th.

I believe Wil-Trans and Jim Palmer are owned by the same entity, so I'm assuming that school is very similar. Keep us posted, and if you learn any tips along the way let me know! :)

Good luck and be safe out there. If you are like me you are excited to get this adventure started!

Good day everyone,

First, I would like to thank everyone that has replied to various posts about getting into the industry. Each of you have a different and valuable persepective on things; and for any outsider like me, its very valuable information.

I will be shipping off to Wil-Trans Company CDL Training next Friday (10th). Aside from the basics, does anyone have some intel on things to bring. I know to keep it light, so I'm looking for must haves. I'm on of the few whose brain still does work, so I should be able to think and figure things out.

Again, thanks to all who comment.

Ever hear of contacting a spouse about employment?

You’re free to give the answer and to let them talk to your spouse, it’s just not something I would do or a question I would ask from an HR standpoint.

Thank you for your service to your community!

Thank you Volvo. I appreciate that... and thanks for all you truckers do as well.....If it weren't for y'all.....the needs of life would dearly suck!!

I'm gonna jump back in here boys... I also could have sworn it was 100% illegal, but I'm not a lawyer... Just some ol' dumb cop.

Anywho, Volvo...that's the position i'm in... Either they talk to the wife or I'm done with processing... that simple... It blew my mind, but either you want the job or not... so.........
