    I worked with a guy years ago who rear ended an SUV when traffic stopped suddenly on the BQE. Killed a young girl who was riding in the very back when she shot out the back window. The extent of his punishment was he had to come off the road and work in the shop for awhile. Guess this Wal Mart driver picked the wrong group of people to hit.

    The truth is Walmart doesn't care about anything, especially their employees. The only reason the CEO made a statement was because Tracy Morgan is nationally known. Someone who nobody knows and they send their lawyers on their private jet to say the deceased were at fault somehow.

    Walmart drivers are usually pretty good so I don't think that because of this one incident a shadow will be cast upon them.....On the other side of that, Fedex, yeah well their reputation isn't the best. I worked for Ground from 2001-2006...It was bad then and their rep continues to go downhill.

    Drivers know that Walmart is nothing more than a higher paying mega who micromanages everything. It's no longer the premier driving job, hasn't been for some time now.

    I don't like delivering to a Wal Mart DC but I do shop at their stores a lot.
    Actually I don't have much choice since almost every other store in town
    went out of business when they opened a store nearby.
