Walmart dedicated in OH

34 hrs off.

 

Never been assigned to the account, but I have worked it. Loads leave late night/early morning delivering to up to 4 stores a run. You don't have to unload the freight, but you do have to tailgate it. As such, you do not get paid for unloading the trailer. You are paid mileage pay plus stop pay. Some stores can be a pain to work with. As mickey said, your weekly home time is your 34 hour restart. At the walmart DC they have a small drivers room with some showers. Not a bad gig.

 

Nope, hasn't changed, when they say "no touch" they mean you don't have to unload the freight. What you do, is stand at the rear of the trailer with the paperwork. The paperwork will tell you how many pallets that store is getting. As a store associate pulls the pallet off the trailer here is a sticker attached to the pallet with the store number on it. You are supposed to tear the sticker off and attach it to your paperwork to keep track of the pallets. One reason for this is because some of the reefer loads a stores pallets may be in different places in the reefer, IE, the first compartment may be set below freezing, and the second may be set to 45 degrees, so they may have pallets in 3 different compartments(separated by a bulkhead) in the reefer so you need to make sure the correct pallets are unloaded at each stop.

 

If you are going dedicated Walmart for SNI why not just go to work for Walmart directly they pay better.

 

Even under driver supervision, most of the Walmart stores are complete clusters, so you can still end up leaving a pallet behind....ask me how I know LOL. But I can guarantee that when you do it one time and have to go back to the store, you'll never do it again.

Nothin like being 6 miles from your next delivery and getting a message on the Qualcomm saying you left a pallet and have to turn around and have to go back...and not get paid for it. Like I said, after you do it once, you'll never do it again.
