Like many great companies, the Bolus Company started at one of the worst times in economic history, the Great Depression. The company was founded by Mr. Frank Bolus. He was a man with a dream and a vision to build a successful business that would provide world class service to his customers, a better life for him and his family, and a better life for his employees.
Frank believed in a few core principles: provide the customer with great service, dedication to his employee, and a strong commitment to safety. He began the company by delivering baked goods to grocery markets for the many local bakeries in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area. As time went on and the business grew, Frank along with his sons expanded the company geographically and also entered the LTL market.

The one time this driver decided to go into the left lane with out a care in the world almost clipping the front of my truck, pulled up next to him to signal why he did that and he acted as if i was in the wrong, what a joke of a driver.
good thing lots of us have cameras now, called company and spoke to safety dept. yeah that didn't go anywhere, he was supposed to get back to me for video and never did, confirmation that these companies don't care.
Be better than this Bolus, Here is the video and pics, give drivers like these a better training Bolus.

Edward K and many others on here are speaking of a completely different company. Bolus truck parts and towing is not in ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM ASSOCIATED WITH BOLUS FREIGHT SYSTEMS. Please remove your nasty comments and do your research before you bash a fantastic company. Shame on you. Bolus freight is one of the best companies I have ever worked for and they try to work with you as best they can. All trucking companies need to move loads, it’s the business. Even so, they do the best they can as far as getting you home on time and work with you if you have an emergency. I would recommend this

Get your facts straight BEFORE you post hateful things. Bobby Bolus owns Bolus Trucking, and NEITHER he NOR his company are related to Bolus Freight Systems. Imagine my dismay, when I looked them up, out of curiosity, because a company my company is dealing with happens to be across the street, and I saw your despicable comments!! Growing up, I knew several drivers and mechanics, and though I now live a thousand miles away, I feel I must defend them! You should be ashamed of yourselves!!!!

I read some of these comments and think I've had bad experiences with companies i can talk bad about also so it happens. The truth is that this is a great place to work!! You're a name and not a number. Equipment is mechanic maintained for all problems. Great people some not some have gone above and beyond for me in many ways, people I'll never forget for it. I even see a few comments about Carl and they're right 👍 👍 great guy. 100% No touch freight. Day driving or OTR Very flexible and they respect you're need of home time. If u liked what u read go apply it's all true

Terrible took a road test for them in a truck with a blown clutch ( junk equipment). They hired me, when I went to the yard to put my stuff in the truck it was disgusting, they never cleaned it like they said they would. Told them to keep there dirty, broken trucks and there job as well. And they had the nerve to put on my DAK that I quit under a load, I never drove a single mile for them!!! There a joke!!! Stay Away, far, far, far away!!!!

I was hit by a trucker named Robert Mong who jackknifed his truck on RT-2 a few years ago. He locked breaks and jackknifed pinning be between the guardrail and the front of his truck.
Every day I am in physical pain my neck and back hurt enough to keep waking me up. I wake up and can barely function. I lost everything. My life, my house, my job, 401K, stock options.
Seems this company hires terrible employees and their drivers carry state minimums. A true discredit to society.
