Is Bowling Transportation INC a Good Company to Work For? 2026 Driver Reviews

The short answer

Bowling Transportation earns a 4.5/5 average across eighteen reviews — the kind of rating that, in our data, usually correlates with dispatchers who answer the phone and settlements that arrive when promised.

Yes — drivers rate it among the best we track. As of July 10, 2026, Bowling Transportation INC holds a 4.5/5 average across 18 reviews on Oculus Reviews, operating out of Fostoria, OH. 67% of reviewing drivers rated it 4.5 stars or higher; 0% rated it 2 stars or lower. The most recent review landed 2026-01-05.

What the numbers say

Averages hide shape, so here's the distribution behind the headline. Of 18 rated reviews, 12 came in at 4.5 stars or above — that's 67% of everyone who bothered to rate. At the other end, 0 reviews (0%) scored the company at 2 stars or below. A two-thirds top-bucket share is the signature of a carrier doing the fundamentals — pay on time, dispatch that communicates, equipment that passes inspection — consistently rather than occasionally.

For context: across the platform, small fleets (under 50 trucks) average 4.26/5 from drivers while mega fleets (500+) average 3.27/5. Bowling Transportation INC's 4.5/5 lands above.

Bowling Transportation INC: company facts (FMCSA)

According to FMCSA census data, Bowling Transportation INC operates 55 power units with 60 drivers, logging approximately 2.6 million miles annually. That puts it in the mid-size class: big enough for steady freight, small enough that dispatch usually knows your name.

Registration checks out: USDOT 366394, MC 195917. Before any orientation, pull the official FMCSA SAFER snapshot yourself — thirty seconds to confirm operating authority, inspection history, and safety rating are current. It's the same source we link on every profile.

How to vet Bowling Transportation INC (or any carrier) before you sign

• Read the newest five reviews first. Companies change — a 2024 complaint about old trucks may be ancient history, and a fresh cluster of pay complaints may be tomorrow's problem. Bowling Transportation INC's latest review is from 2026-01-05.
• Ask about the exact lane and terminal. Most rating splits in our data come down to which dispatcher and which freight, not the company logo on the door.
• Cross-check FMCSA. Authority status, inspection out-of-service rates, and crash history are public — the SAFER link above is the primary source.
• Get the pay structure in writing. CPM vs. percentage, detention, layover, and who pays for tolls and washes — the reviews that go wrong usually went wrong here.

Bottom line

Bowling Transportation INC earns its rating the boring way: consistently. Based on 18 reviews, it belongs on the short list for any driver working its region.
