    They used to get a loaded trailer done in just under 2 hours, I am now going on 4 hours for a partial live unload. This is happening EVERYWHERE. What is wrong with them lately?

    Walmart ecspects the drivers to be ontime but won't even touch the trailer till like an hr after you drop it in a dock.Then they charge lumper fee,something is wrong with this picture.

    But if you're late, watch out. They will keep you there for hours to be spiteful.

    mere hours if you're lucky, they might get to you later that day if they're in a good mood.

    Whenever I see guys from outside carriers at a DC unloading I always remember how much I dreaded delivering to a Walmart DC in years past if the load was not a drop and hook or a load from Proctor & Gamble. Long delays unloading at a Walmart DC lately? It was the case when I first begin delivering to them back in 1992 and has become worse over time!
