Walmart Dedicated- Bedford, PA

plus short haul pay. shorter runs on a scale 0-50 , 50 -100 etc net you more per mile on a comparable scale to help make up a days pay.

forget what the exact scale is other than 0-50 is a flat $25 and 150 - 200 is .02 cpm extra. think it runs up to 250 or 300? cant remember.

Walmart acct will work you and use up your 70 hr clock with usually only 34 hrs off on the weekend to restart you. Pays better than most though. No topuch freight BUT the driver has to account for each pallet coming off per store on his paperwork. while this is work preformed it is unpaid other than the stop pay, which pays from the second stop on.

 

dont know, other than guessing that flex would possibly limit the miles per week possible.

for that location, how many miles a week are they telling you?

What I do know though is the Wintersville Oh and Washington Courthouse Oh locations are generally 34 hrs off. Unless some things have changed.

 

not sure about the backhaul part. most SNI guys are pulling walmart reefers. so unless it was FOR that Walmart DC I doubt there is much of that. Never know though. NOt heard a whole lot about that particular Pa DC.

What I can say though is , you will see steady checks and you will have work. SNI has a shop/office building with some driver amenities. usually though ,at least the ones I have seen , leave something to be desired.

overall I would say not a bad gig for a driver to get their feet wet in this industry. Also the potential is there to transfer to other accounts or divisions, such as tank.

I would suggest getting all available endorsements now while you will pay for the license once. Maybe wait on the hazmat as I dont see that account needing that endorsement.

 

Unless its a regional dedicated position , I'm not sure how walmart might help other than managing fuel consumption.

One thing at a time. Get hired and start driving.

 

Working "Flex" is working as a part time driver. You tell them when you want to work and how many hours you want to work. If you only work 1 day a week, it has to be a Thursday thru Sunday. If you plan on working more thats ok, but if not it has to be one of the weekend days. Your pay is all activitiy based. Your mileage rate is incredibly low. Don't know what it is in Bedford, but in Wintersville it is 14CPM. You get regular stop pay, and it's almost 100% of the time when you work a weekend, you'll get what the run pays plus and incentive pay...which is usually an extra $50. That's what really makes it worth while is the incentive pay. Otherwise, you could work an 11 or 12 hour day and end up with $70 or $80 take home pay. You could make that workin at Sheetz. If you wanna know more about Walmart, send me a message here. I can help ya out with that.

Best of luck!!
