    I know the Gas City is wal-mart dedicated. Anyone know about Houston? Is this also for wal-mart? Would you have to sign a contract to work for them if you take the relocation assistance? Any info would be helpful.. Thanks

    I don't know for sure, but a lot of places that have sign on bonuses like this pay them out in installments, not one lump sum up front. That's probably the case here

    i talked to a owner operator that was pulling walmart trailers. he said he went through a mercer agent and mercer is a 100% owner operator flatbed company. he said he was getting a sliding pay scale from a minimum of $1.60 a mile to $2.40 a mile. and that mercer agent has contracts with 5 walmart distrabution centers. the owner operator said on the cb radio

    They're not telling what the account is. One of the Dollar stores? Those accounts are always in demand because of the tight backing, multi-stops, hand unloads.
    I would check it out hard.

    An account like this would be good for the person who likes a combination of both exceptionally hard work and unlimited frustrations galore. Believe it or not, there are people like that.

    Last I heard it was $1000 after 1st dispatch, then $1000 after 30 days and the final $3000 paid after 1 year.

    $1,000 a week isn't that much these days, certainly not worth moving to a crummy part of the country for. I average $1,400 a week in Iowa and am home every weekend. Just about everyone can do better than US Express

    You live in Iowa and you say TX is a crummy part of the country? LOL.......I could live on 1000 bucks a week.. I live on less than that now, and I sleep in my own bed every night, not just on the weekends.
