Walmart dedicated

there are several guys here that live in St. Louis and work the Olney account. Me being one of them.

 

Yea I worked at a walmart store alot of guys told me they didnt but dats wat my recruiter told me I stay like 100 miles from onley

 

Id rather do the walmart account I feel like its better practice as dar as backin the truck up

 

Do dey give u good miles n wats the days like

 

Many of us have done a "store load" out of the DC in Lewiston ME... you get one for the "privilege" of pulling a load into there. It's a load that hits 3 to 6 stores pulling a Walmart trailer, with a return to the DC... exactly what you'd be getting as a Prime driver dedicated to Walmart. Generally these loads are about 250 to 400 miles total, you bump dock, open the door, and the store crew shleps the freight off... close the door and get to the next stop. You have a drop dead time to be at each location. You can find the pay scale for this work (in between all the biotchin' from a former Schneider driver) here...

IMO, you'd do better running 48-state OTR. The usual approach by many outfits (including Prime) is to lower your pay a bit for the "privilege" of being home every night. One thing you might want to do is start out OTR, and get a taste for it. Then lobby your FM for a load out to the Lewiston, Maine DC. You'll get a store load before you're dispatched elsewhere, so you can get a taste of what that's like before you jump in the deep end.

 

I would be doin the olney,il dc dats wat im closer to

 

Well dey said guys who live within that 40 mile radius make it home every night but I talked to alot.of guys who otr dat run the olney,il account
