    I deliver to the 2 Wally World D/C's in Riverside, Cali all the time. They both get highmarks from me. Usally in and out in 2hrs. I do like how the one on Columbia Drive pulls your trl out for you and closes your doors if you have another drop on... There are some that suck but most don't in my opinion.

    I just delivered at the DC in Corinne, Utah yesterday. They are actually one of the better DC's I stopped at. I was 2 hrs late due to a hold-up on a previous trip, so they gave me a door and put me on stand-by. I had other stops on the truck, so after 4 hours of waiting I was getting impatient (my 14 hr clock was running thin). I told the reciever that I would unload the freight myself so I could get out of there sooner. 20 minutes later they called me to the window, and gave me the bills stating the freight was unloaded. Due to the delay, they also unloaded it free of charge. :)

    I've only been to that dc once but since it was so long ago, I don't really remember my eexperience but I don't think it was that bad.

    THe only dc I've been at (can't remember which one it was) that I don't care to go to again was the one that insisted I bring the com check in quick, fast and in a hurry before anyone began the unloading process.

    If that's the only thing that keeps me away from Walmart, I'll pass.... All that strapping, chaining, tarping and bungee cording ain't for me! I'll just stick with installing the load locks and be done with it.
    Actually, the most common place I go to that's hell on trailers is Conway. I lost count on how many of our empty trailers I've pulled away from there and the chute is laying on the floor.....

    $50.00? for thier lumper isn't all that bad. Provide you own com / tchecks, this should be a givien, All big companies, give thier drivers packs of checks, if ya run out , ask a fellow driver.

    I have always hated walmart dist centers just like everyone else (most everyone). But I don't think it's walmart but the idiots and lazy ##### that they hire. Which from what I've been seeing as of late is a disturbing trend in hiring practices by a Lot of businesses.
