    I see they have posts all over the job boards for their home every night Wal Mart account in New Caney, TX and they are taking drivers fresh out of CDL school. Is anyone here working this account? Is the $1000 a week they claim realistic? What are some of the challenges of working this account? Thanks for any and all feedback!

    I'll put it this way...most of the runs out of new Caney are in the Houston area stores...there's some over to Crowley la and up to Mansfield la...I doubt it...I used to run that acct for Greatwide and never hit $1000/wk..

    Thank you, I figured they overstated it. How tough was it? Were you just dropping trailers or did you have to wait for them to unload you?

    Reefer loads were all live unloads with up to 3 deliveries and 1pu on backhaul...dry groceries were drop & hook and if those had multiple stops the final would be drop and hook..

    most at of the stores were horrible in getting unloaded in timely fashion...sometimes you would have to chase mgt around to get a crew to the docks.
     
    Spacat1 Thanks this.

    Thanks for the info! I'm relocating to Texas and am leaning toward oilfield work, but since I kept seeing this job posted I figured I'd at least look into it.

    These dedicateds are constantly advertised.
    Makes you wonder why.
    Pay? Hours?

    Just because you're in your own bed doesn't mean you won't be running ragged.
