Walmart or Estes?

While I think Waly is a better place, I don't buy their advertised salaries. In many cases, companies use their absolute best drivers, during one of their best years,( possibly team amounts) and I read Walmart pays about the same as most other companies. Thing with Walmart vs. any freight company, with "Sam",,you'll have a job into the next millenium, Estes, not so much.

 

Stay where you're at

 

The salaries are correct, you have to be lazy, and try extra hard not to make what is advertised, many make more. Now the downside. The op will give up all seniority he had at Estes , which means no weekends off, not being home daily, slip seating trucks, etc. Don't plan on getting weekends off for the foreseeable future takes most guys 7+years to get.

 

You don’t slip seat at Estes? I thought LTL drivers usually slip seat with the night line haul driver.

Either way, sounds like you are in a pretty good position at Estes. I’d stay there.

 

Probably a truck load more of petty rules at wally.

 

If it were me, and I liked where I'm working, I'd stay. I don't necessarily believe in making a move to another job unless forced, or its just meeting your needs. It's always tempting to listen to other offers, but if you have built yourself up at Estes, why blow it up?
