Walmart dedicated

I asked dispatch about it this morning... they told me they were located in IL, IN and TN. ??? I guess we'll all find out when there's a press release. Same deal for us... a long haul into one of these places obligates us to run a local store load. GRRR! I really detest that part.

 

Olney,Il/ Shelbyville,Tn/New Albany,Ms/Mobally,Mo.I think I spelled the last town wrong.Thats the four grocery DCs they were told about in London,Ky at a drivers meeting.

 

Actually heard it during a safety meeting back in December, As sales was talking about wanting/trying to get 4 new Walmarts.

 

What "sales wants," and reality are quite often two different things. Remember that the first time you're double-booked on a load, and last to show up!

 

Yeah, Whatever

 

At the safety meeting three fridays ago they announced those locations, but were working on harrisonville mo also. Sounded like done deals in the presentation.

 

New Albany Ms
Harrisonville Mo
and Moberly are Swift Accounts not SNI.

 

That's what I get for running freight, and not chilling at the terminal!

Don't you mean "were?"

 

Be that as it may, when the big "P" takes over, the guys on the OTR side will get Shanghai'd for at least one local round before we can bust loose. You can have the local stuff, I think it blows myself.
