Drivers, do your research. Before you agree to work for a company; talk to their drivers, read the fine print and find out what’s expected of you. We can’t tell you how many drivers we speak to that have been fed a line of crap by shady trucking companies, and by the time the driver figures it out, it’s too late. That won’t happen here. Find out why Bogler may be the best fit for you! Inquire at drive-wbt.com or call a recruiter at 877-689-3642. This will probably be the best call you’ve ever made. #trucking #truckdriver #bogler #woodybogler #bestdrivers #otr #enddump #dryvan #drivers #truckers #100yearsstrong

Truck drivers know what companies have “reputations”, good or bad. But the easiest way to tell how successful you’ll be at a particular trucking company is to find out two things. First, how long has the company been in business? For us, it’s 100 years! Second, how long their drivers have been there? Almost HALF of our drivers have been with us for 10 years or more (the other half just haven’t made that long yet). So if you’re looking for a CAREER company; choose Woody Bogler Trucking Company! You’ll be successful, respected, valued and happy. Inquire at www.drive-wbt.com or call/text Corey at 573-502-3563. YOU WON’T REGRET IT! #WoodyBogler100Years #TruckingLegacy #HiringDrivers #trucking #truckdriver #bogler #woodybogler #bestdrivers #otr #enddump #dryvan #drivers #truckers #100yearsstrong

Tired of dealing with your current employer? Seriously, just call, text or message us. We know that you’re getting bombarded with offers that seem too good to be true (they are), and that every trucking company is promising you the moon. At Bogler, you’re gonna get the straight talk every time. Sure we’d love to have you, but we don’t need to lie to do it. It’s a tough decision, we get it. BUT IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE. Do the math, know who you’re dealing with and talk to our drivers. Almost half have been here for over 10 years, and WE’VE been around for 100!!. Can your current company say that? So if you are or know a driver that’s tired of being ignored at their current company; ask them to inquire online at drive-wbt.com or call or text Corey at 573-502-3563. We’d love to hear from them! #trucking #truckdriver #bogler #woodybogler #bestdrivers #otr #enddump #dryvan #drivers #truckers #thankatrucker #100yearsstrong

🚛🔀 Need to adjust your truck's weight? Slide that 5th wheel or trailer tandem axle for a perfect balance! 🎯💪 ✅ Achieving optimal weight distribution is crucial for smooth and safe trucking. But did you know you can easily adjust your truck's weight by sliding the 5th wheel or trailer tandem axle? 💡 Sliding the 5th wheel forward or backward helps distribute weight between the truck's front axle and the trailer's axles. Moving it forward increases the weight on the steer axle, while moving it back shifts weight onto the trailer axles. ⚖️ Need more stability on the front end? Slide that 5th wheel forward and keep your truck in control. Want to avoid overloading the trailer's axles? Slide it back and find the sweet spot! 🔄 With this simple adjustment, you can improve your truck's handling, increase fuel efficiency, and reduce wear and tear on tires. Never underestimate the power of weight distribution! 📝 Remember, always consult your truck's manual or seek guidance from a professional before making any adjustments. Safety first! 👉 Share your tips and experiences below! Are you a pro at adjusting truck weight? Let's hear your success stories and advice! 🗣️💬 #TruckingTips #WeightDistributionMatters #TruckersKnowBest #StayBalancedStaySafe #AdjustAndConquer https://hubs.li/Q02kSWwC0

🚚 All Aboard the Michigan Train! 🚂 Did you know that in the world of trucking, Michigan has its very own kind of train? 📏 Unlike the locomotives on rails, these "Michigan Trains" are heavy-haul trucks navigating the state's unique weight regulations. 🏋️♂️ 🤓 Let's break it down: Federal law usually caps truck weights at 80,000 pounds, but Michigan found a clever way to do things differently. They measure by axles instead of total load, and more axles mean more weight allowed. 🤯 🚛 These special trucks can have up to 11 axles (though many have fewer), making them look like centipedes on wheels. 🐛 In the land of Michigan Trains, a single truck can carry a whopping 164,000 pounds across its 11 axles, and each axle holds at least 13,000 pounds. 🤑 👷♂️ Why does this matter? Well, it helps reduce the number of trucks on Michigan's roads and preserves their infrastructure. 🛣️ Plus, it's actually less damaging to the roadways, spreading the weight across more axles and tires. 🚧 🚧 So next time you see one of these multi-axle marvels hauling a hefty load, you'll know it's all part of Michigan's unique trucking landscape! 🌆 Now, who's ready to crunch some numbers? 😄 👋 We have 2024 Peterbilts 579 and 567 in our rapidly growing company. We run 579s in the dry van division. 567s haul loads for our flatbed division and are available with auto and manual transmissions. We have only fresh trucks with APU, inverter, and mini-fridge. We are hiring! 👍 We offer steady loads, many miles, high CPM, bonuses, and benefits.
