    Some of the smaller Walmarts only have one dock door and there’s usually a Walmart trailer dropped in them?

    I'm delivering to a Super Center Walmart with 6 docks. Hopefully that won't be an issue.

    I picked up a load at that place once. It was probably 10 years ago.

    FYI: At the time the shipper offered to pay me extra to unload the carts but I declined. I delivered to a Krogers in Queens and the store personnel unloaded the carts.

    I remember it mainly because I remember Queens. I've never been back.

    The loading went great, 30 minutes. Great crew at the manufacturer. They are double stacked in the nose about 20 feet deep, rest of the trailer single stacked.

    I called the store today..no answer. Gonna call when they open tomorrow and inform them of my 9am arrival. I am not planning on an assist with the unload, other than the video I posted ;)

    I called the store this morning at 8am and told them I would be there around 9am. They told me where to dock and let me know that they would unload me. Great!

    After I arrived I had to wait 20 minutes on the dock, no worries.

    I did get a physical work out though..removing the three 2 by 4s the shipper hand nailed with 16 penny nails to floor of the trailer to wedge the carts in. I have a couple of nail bars and a 4 pound sledge hammer so it was doable, but I am little winded as I type this post. A three foot wrecking bar would have been quite handy.

    Carts started coming off at 9:52...

    Don’t know if you are done with the shopping chart delivery, but if you do use the method of getting it started to roll, then driving forward, and the company you are delivering to agree, id make them sign for the delivery first
