    Because, the places that do it, woody Bogler owns them, and there employees are the ones that are loading the trailers, the pile in Warrenton and the pit in owensville, did it to me everytime, heaviest I was, was 103k pounds gross, if you get caught and a ticket, they make you pay for it and shovel it out with a hand shovel, I have zero reason to lie, its a dumpster fire of a company and there drivers quit left and right because of it, my entire class, all had a min of 4 years experience in trucking, I have 8 years experience. There are much better jobs in this industry to have, that pays double and even triple what Woody pays, for less work, they dont even have the auto tarp trailers.

    I'm honestly surprised there haven't been a litany of YouTube videos on this company yet. I'm on my final stretch here and I'm out. I'm not gonna get into a debate about what Woody claims the customer is "supposedly" paying them and in turn giving us a percentage of but what I will say is what they choose to pay their end dump company drivers is utterly demoralizing. Waking up early in the morning to run a load of rock for $4-7/ton wasn't and isn't on my bucket list. I understand freight and the need to take a less-paying load to get back to a better area but the rates drivers are expected to run for are utter ######## and I fail to see how Woody is able to even operate off of the percentage they "supposedly" take out before they divvy the remaining to the drivers. I'll talk with drivers of other companies who are running some of the same loads as us, shipper to consignee and I've heard anywhere from a $20-50/ton discrepancy with receipts. Some company drivers, some owner operators. I'm not ############ when I say that 99 percent of every end dump driver at Woody that I run into is thinking about when and how they're going to quit and what better paying companies they can monkey branch off to. I'll add in here too that even senior drivers that were there when I first got on and have since left told me that the leadership is taking quite abit off the top so this isn't really new information. Everyone suspects it.

    dude i ran into the senior drivers when I worked there, they all defend the company with their life, like dude im not sorry to say this 900 to 1k a week driving any truck in 2026 is a joke and not even a funny one just a sad one, I have 8 years experience and good money to me is 2500 to 2800 gross a week, thats my benchmark because I made that as a company driver driving tyson freight for a 3rd party with paycheck stubs to prove it, and thats average, I only quit because im not driving governed trucks anymore which Woody Bogler is at 65 mph now, so they took that away as well from the drivers. no reason to work for such a crappy company. if you have a clean record across the board and experience driving.

    Percentage companies are never honest.

    I wouldn't say that. Worked for an O/O, who had probably a dozen tractors, and maybe 30 flatbeds. We got 30% of gross, the bills we received had the rate right on them.

    Rarely ever see bills with the rate on them, these days.

    In the 90’s, I worked for a percentage company. In two years, only one bill had the rate on it. During that time, I had suspected I was being skimmed. That bill proved it and I set about finding my next employer.

    I probably would’ve stayed in the governed truck for $145k a year.

    id rather have 120k a year and a truck that can do at least 75, mph and no driver facing camera bullcrap, it dosent matter as much if your local but if your doing full otr, its a requirement, these illegals and foreigners will not let you over so your only options are dust them and get ahead of them or stay behind them and get break checked all day long, because there only going 1 mile faster then you if that, the money was good, but after taxs your still getting screwed because im a single guy, I worked for the company for 2 years and payed like 70k in taxs for those 2 years. so still only made what I could with a faster truck and per diem

    So you’re saying you’re willing to give up 25k a year just for a few mph in a dumb truck? #### truck drivers make it so easy for people to think we are all window lickers.

    Um its not a few mph, I was governed to 65 mph at that company, thats a 10 mph difference, and thats a big difference, in a semi truck, money is important but so is other things, like not being recorded by a Ai camera 24/7, or being micro managed into the ground. that 25k dosent matter to me, because it pushed me into a higher taxs bracket anyway. im far from dumb, like I said being stuck in a 65 mph truck otr blows.
