    I thought the only Walmart DC 's in LA were Opelousas and Robert

    Its walmart. One across the street from where i work. They generally run your clock out everyday. That makes the 'home daily' not so great.
     
    Thull and Chewy352 Thank this.

    Had a friend running for swift out of one of the Florida DC's... Didn't last long, said the money was crap.

    That's second hand knowledge though, I have no personal Al experience with it.
     
    Thull Thanks this.

    It's been several years since I worked at Swift on the WM fleet. I ran out of Los Lunas, NM and only stayed about 2 months or so. The pay was abysmal, and the "home every night" was a complete sham. 2 - 5 days out was the norm and even though we only delivered to the WM stores in NM, southern CO, and west TX, the backhauls could come from several states away.

    I backed one of your female drivers trucks into a dock when I worked at Store #5155 in Las Cruces, NM
