Hello, everyone. Next year, I'll be starting with Schneider on their Walmart account in the above location, and I'm wondering if anyone here has any info on what this account is like for my area, or any advice. I live a little over an hour away from the DC, and I'm only working weekends because I'll be going to college. So, it seems like a fair deal to me, though I'm not completely sure.

I used to run their loads once in a while for SNI, I was JC Penny dedicated out of Columbus. It wasn't a bad deal. Get the paperwork, pickup trailer, deliver to a few stores then return. The worst part was that the store employees unload while you stand there collecting tabs off each skid. They can go fast and they can go slow, you have no control. The deal was pretty decent. If you can get "only weekends" from them, that's a good deal.
Ironmonger Thanks this. -
Anyway, thanks for the info! -
The stores are usually setup pretty good but you'll be challenged by something. That's part of the gig. Just take your time and don't hit anything.
Ironmonger and 06driver Thank this. -
Go slow, don't bend stuff
As for the work it will be overnight most likely. Perishable loads do not start out gating until afternoon at the earliest.
They are desperate enough the weekend thing may happen. Weekends are the busiest time for groceries as well.Ironmonger Thanks this. -
Yeah, Courthouse has flex drivers on the account... I run Walmart dedicated out of Wintersville Ohio...
Flex is part time... You"re supposed to work at least one day a week... If you average a total of 30 hours a week, you can get on the Health Insurance... I got 3.5 years in and I moved to flex... I live 7 miles from the DC in Wintersville and don't have to sleep in the truck anymore... When I was full time, I had to run a backhaul to Courthouse and then run loads at night out of there, the full week.... As said above, there are some tight dock stores... Some of the old stores are not set up for 53 footers... As trucking jobs go, if doesn't get much easier then this account... Just pulling stickers and I always have the different stores highlighted... They're not always in the order they are supposed to be in..... Good Luck...Ironmonger and 06driver Thank this. -

Containers during peak, dirt and mulch in the spring can alter entrances. Grocery pic k up is higher near holidays etc etc etc.mickeyrat Thanks this. -
Thanks for the info, everyone. If I like what I'll be doing, I'll likely switch to the full-time position, or I'll go tanker. I'm going to need that specialized hauling experience in regards to the latter for what I have planned.
