Walmart here I come!

Yeah the health insurance is all jacked up everywhere!! To be honest, I've been at WM for 10 months and its been a good experience for me as for what I want in my career. Its helped me truly see what I really want. I came from a job where I was home everyday, the highest paid driver in 2015 out of 900+ drivers. I worked nights 6 days a week for prob 45/52 weeks. No sick leave used or any of my 2 weeks vacation. Good insurance.
IMO Walmart has treated me better than any other driving job out there. They really do take care of their drivers. I average more $ per day than my previous job but I also work my 14 out compared to working 11-12 at old job.
Now, FOR ME with my current situation (no wife, no kids) I thought WM would be perfect job for me, but considering im in the market for a house cause I don't want to be paying 900-1k month for a 1 br apt (need a garage) I've came to conclusion I should have stayed at previous job. I shouldn't have been sooo greedy and burnt myself out and just worked less still would have prob made good money and had better insurance. I ask myself why pay rent or a mortgage for me to be there only 10 days a month. Which is why I'm seeking employment back at old job and another employer.
MORAL of the story!!.. Ask yourself what you truly want in your career!!? What's better for you/ family? How important is being home? How important is money/insurance? How well are you treated? Sometimes the grass IS greener on the other side, sometimes It's NOT, and sometimes (in my case) its the "SAME" kinda grass just different ways of getting it LOL!! Merry Christmas everyone be safe!!

 

Does anyone at the Hope Mills North Carolina can tell me what kind of trucks a run over there freightliners KW or Peterbilt and if they if they run those Peterbilt's are they running some of the old-style Peterbilt like a 2010 11 and 1213's

 

Man you make 95k at your current job!!! You better stay there you won't see that here for a long time you need to be on a dedicated run and that's for drivers that have been here for years. You might make 80-82 the avg is 72 for most in my region I can't speak for the rest of the country . 95k what company is that and you been there for 6 years

 

I know right. Sh$t I want to know what company this is

 

Well I been at Walmart a year and I am at 96000 and the years not over yet you can make it it's all up too you

 

Thank you. $95K is very doable. My husband has been close to $90K for the last 2 years, (he has only been here 4 years coming up on the 17th), and this is in one of the lowest paying areas.

I imagine with the good financials, that everyone will be getting another raise in a couple of months also.

 

You run line haul for an LTL company and that's easy to do. Your physically exhausted but we'll paid.

 

Any LTL company, run line haul and you get paid.

 

It all depends on where your DC is

 

I lived in Fayettenam for a little over 2 years (was non-military but worked there) never want to live there again!

 

I am planing on moving to Myrtle Beach South Carolina and working out I hope mills
