    I have talked to a recruiter about swifts new contract with walmart In fl. I live 45 mins away from the Walmart Distribution Center.

    She told me $.37 cpm $10 per stop. Slip seating. Runing nights and the schedule is flexible.

    Dose anyone know how many miles/stops there averaging. Also how many hrs/days per week they r working.

    As a local job I don't want to work more than 60hrs 5 days a week
    I would figure with slip seating that would not ne a problem

    I believe you are looking at running you 11 hour drive each day ... when you arrive you are unloaded asap so there is minimal downtime a the stop. The stop is also touch free. 60/5 though ??? don't bank on that

    Several guys said you are working all the time and will be running Florida intrastate laws... I read somewhere on this site that it was a 7 day a week gig.. something like 80 hours... willl see if I can find link... http://www.thetruckersreport.com/tr...-starting-orientation-swift-5-22-walmart.html

    Intrastate Hours of Service Regulations


    • Florida has intrastate hours of service standards for CMV drivers. Intrastate drivers are those who only drive within the state's borders. After 10 consecutive hours off-duty, the driver may return to driving for up to 12 hours. Furthermore, the driver may not operate a CMV beyond the 16th hour after he starts a shift following 10 consecutive off-duty hours. The law states the driver cannot drive if he has been on-duty for more than 70 hours in a seven-day period. Over an eight-day period, the driver may not operate a CMV once he reaches 80 hours of on-duty service. In order to end the seven- or eight-day period, the driver must not drive for 34 consecutive hours.
      The driver is exempt from logging driving time if he travels less than a radius of 150 air miles from where the CMV is based. Air miles are different from statute miles in that 100 air miles equals 115 statute miles on a road map. If you travel less distance than 150 air miles, but operate in excess of 12 hours, you must maintain a log. If a vehicle is carrying hazardous material, the operator must log all driving time.

    Tidbit of the day! :)

    That's one rule the DOT messed up on WoT. Air miles is the same as nautical miles and is used in traveling by air or sea only. Measuring on a map on land is a statute mile. Truck drivers don't fly so that term should of never been used. Though they might fly on the interstate, lol.

    It's good FL explained it though. The FMSCA failed to do so.

    Being that Florida local driving jobs are not that good, I would take it and work what they ask of you.

    Being in Tampa u have more options than me.
    Iv been driving in swfl for 6 years and i always have worked 5 days a week with 2 full days off. Occasonaly I wrk 6 days if needed.
    The only problem with these local jobs down here is most of em require physical back breaking work along with the position. I am in good shape and I never complain about it. BUT it would be nice to have a gravy gig.
    I will have to keep my eyes peeled when I drive by walmart. I'll talk to some drivers and report back

    Bt the way Aiwiron who do I wrk for out of Tampa ?
