TOLEDO, OHIO… Bolt Express was founded on July 1, 2001 by Ben Bauman to serve the automotive industry and has since grown to be an industry leader in time sensitive freight with service throughout the USA, Canada, and Mexico.  CEO Guy Sanderson stated, “This is a celebration of our employees and drivers.  It is all about the team and a strong reminder of how proud they should all be of the role they have all played in everything we have accomplished, and most importantly, the type of company that we have created.  Our biggest advantage as a company has been and continues to be our company culture.  The pandemic challenged us all, but we did not miss a beat.  I think it made us more focused on our mission, our core business values.  We are ready for the next 20 years.”

At Bolt Express, all the freight is time sensitive, but not necessarily expedited.  It is dry van and no touch.  Loads originate in the Midwest, going to all points, and the Midwest to Laredo, Texas.  There are opportunities for Class A & B CDL drivers operating tractor-trailers, straight trucks, and cargo vans.  Bolt Express leases owner-operators and can hire company drivers for their fleet owners.  Company drivers earnings are solo – 50¢ per mile and ready-made teams – 70¢ per mile.  A full benefit package is offered.  Bolt also has 24/7 support, including dispatch.  Orientation is held 3 days per week and takes 2 days to complete.

Presently Bolt Express has an abundance of high paying, time sensitive truckload freight and needs Class A CDL holders, both owner-operators and company drivers.  Regular runs from Ohio and the Midwest to Laredo, Texas and back are available.

The company’s mission statement sums up their operations, ”Bolt Express is committed to being the most trusted and reliable transportation provider in North America.  Our desire to be the best at what we do is reflected in our attitude, our culture, and the quality of our work.”
