Werner and Wal-Mart parting ways

Companies gain and lose accounts pretty regularly. It's not exactly life changing news within the industry when it does happen.

 

Is this more truck stop/cb rumors? Or do you have a legitimate source of this imformation?

 

So it's legit cause you heard a driver say that? Sorry, I don't trust drivers. They generally are the worse habitual liars in the world.

 

I suppose it's possible, as Schneider handles quite a bit out of several other DCs.

As far as the 3-year rule? Well, from what I've seen (I'm a Schneider driver, but for system, not for WM dedicated), many of their dedicated tractors have been trashed. Now, many of these as I understand it are slip-seated, so who knows?

If SNI got that account, I hope we take care of it. But I'll believe it when I see it.

 

So is that your legitimate source? You pass the DC every day?

Schneider, JB Hunt, Werner, Swift, & many other carriers haul for Wal-Mart. It's no big life changing news. Schneider may have taken over a Werner run, but I gaurentee you that Werner is still pulling Wal-Mart.

 

Wal Mart began changing how they manage inbound freight to DC's almost a year ago. Looks like Werner is a casualty of the new system.
