    really ive never heard that either trainer/fm when i was on the reefer side never mentioned that and at the speed that we drive passing another walmart truck may be a challenge

    LOL...yes my trainer hightails it at a solid whopping 52, so usually when I was passed by another walmart trailer it usually was a blur, but was able to acknowledge it was a wally world trailer....lol

    Ive heard that rumor.

    I have pulled wal-mart trailers...

    no one said a thing, but that was in the first weeks of the contract and they were still ironing out all the details.

    By doing 52 my trainer always was on the fm's top 5 every week for mpg. so apparently it does him well. but it is something to get used to
