The Walmart Skinny v2020

Does WM have a 6-1 schedule, what`s the best paying schedule?

 

WM does not have an official 6-1 schedule.

They have a full time schedule, 5-2.

Same 5 days on, same 2 days off.

What alot of these drivers do, is save their hours through the week, by going off duty when they can,and then extend, and work their hours out, on the 6th day.

I know a driver who does this every week, and has has for years.

He consistently makes over 130K

 

On a 5-2 when I first started...worked 4.5 days a week since I lived a few hours away I usually worked a 7 or 8 hour day on my go home day. My ADP was $375 after 8 months. It’s possible to make 6 figures here and you don’t have to break your back doing it. Some guys don’t think it’s possible, maybe it’s not for them....but for others it is.

 

I made 99K this past year on a 6-3.

Did not sell back any PTO days.

Lots of WM drivers make well over a 100K.

 

I was on a 6/3 out of 6080, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get it above the high $70ks. I’m not rooting my own horn, but I was also a runner...I didn’t stop at truckstops and ######## at the DCs all the time, I worked. Maybe it’s just luck in the dispatches you’d get, or also the region you run?? When the ROC dispatched you on a 1st truck pull ahead 1/2 the time at 1430-1500 in the afternoon into NY Metro area NJ, you certainly aren’t going to be cranking out the miles, and I’d get stupid dispatches like that, A LOT

 

I'd quite often get them stores if I got to twobananas but to be fair my own DC Raymond NH used to give Twobananas drivers the crappy stores around Boston.

 

Yeah, I know lol. I would get screwed on both

 

A friend of mine had enough and did the same thing as you..sure enough they terminated him on the spot. So, drivers retiring or quitting...be aware and plan accordingly.

 

It really depends on what terminal you work out of...some have more miles to stores. If your DC services some city like New York or Chicago,then you will not get as many miles. Also some programs don't do well in the areas they serve.
