THE BOLT FREIGHT STANDARD

The Bolt Freight Standard

Four things we can actually prove — not promises, evidence.

The 9-Scan GPS Timeline

We don’t just say “tracked.” Every shipment generates 9 specific, timestamped scan events from pickup to final delivery, ending with a signed, photographed Proof of Delivery.

The 24-Hour Claim SLA

Cargo issues happen. When they do, our claims team initiates the first review within 24 hours, provides an investigation update in 5 days, and proposes a resolution within 14 days.

UN 3481 Battery Protocol

Shipping e-bikes and heavy equipment requires hazmat-aware packing. We enforce strict ≤30% state-of-charge rules and terminal protection for every lithium battery we move.

Liftgate Is Standard, Not an Upsell

A two-post car lift does not belong on a curb. Liftgate and pallet-jack delivery are standard on every heavy load — included in the rate, never an afterthought.
