Every single trucking company says that they “value” their drivers. But do they really? We talk to drivers everyday, and from the sound of it, they get treated like garbage almost everywhere they work. Sure, at first it’s fine and seems different, but after a little bit of time, it’s the same drill… all the “goals” that were set are unattainable, the bonuses aren’t real, the home time is a joke… we get it. That’s why at Woody Bogler Trucking Company, we want you to talk to our drivers. We want you to ask almost 1/2 of them why they’ve been here for over 10 years. We want you to ask the other half why they’re still here. The answer, most likely, is going to be because they know we put them first. Always. We’re fair, we’re honest, and we’re upfront. So if you or a driver you know is ready to work for a company that rewards you for your efforts, appreciates everything you do, and makes sure that you know it; check out our websites at woodybogler.com / drive-wbt.com or call a recruiter at 877-689-3642. This could be the best call you’ve ever made. #trucking #truckdriver #bogler #woodybogler #bestdrivers #otr #enddump #dryvan #drivers #truckers #100yearsstrong

Here are just a few reasons why truck stops are so important to truckers: ▪️ 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐚 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐱. Truckers often spend 10-12 hours a day driving, so it's important for them to have a place to rest and relax. ▪️ 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 such as food, showers and repairs. ▪️ 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲'𝐫𝐞 𝐚 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐬. Trucking can be a lonely job, so it's important for truckers to have a place to meet other truckers and socialize. So next time you're driving down the highway and see a truck stop, remember that it's more than just a place to refuel.

Mom and pops are taking a significant share of the trucking industry. Trucking is among the most fragmented industries on the planet. Growing up, I was told that there would be massive consolidation in the trucking industry following deregulation in 1980. Instead, the opposite has happened. The chart in this article shows the growth in the number of individual trucking fleets from 2008 to now. https://lnkd.in/gSYBu4mw #LLA #Growth #Trucking
