Walmart here I come!

Not to mention WAY....... Better health insurance plans. Friend of mine in LTL in a town of 60k pop works P&D local has a M-F home every night by 8-9pm makes 70k and pays maybe 60/month for a $200.00/yr ded

 

Don't tell that to the guys here, they'll argue left and right to justify that only Walmart is the best job on the road lol.

 

If walmart is so bad, then why stay there? If you feel that ltl is so much better, get a job with one those companies.

 

I'm kinda curious what a pro vs con list for working at Walmart would be to from you?

 

down south thats so far from the truth.

 

Chicago every week for me. It can vary, but I go to Chicago more than I do the Dakotas. Better money anyways.

 

I'm not saying WM is sooo BAD that it sucks! I'm simply saying like several 15+yr veteran drivers at WM told me when I hired on that its a good job, just wouldn't leave a good job to come here.

Its irrelevant if your previous job was a crap hole making peanuts and mediocre insurance. That's not apples to apples. I'm currently in the process of trying to get a job at several other companies and just like WM its HARD to get on!! I'm not one to down WM to every driver or make a scene but I tell things the way it is based on my experiences

 

There is no such thing as a good company. As all outfits have there crazy policies and or favorites and etc. However Walmart transportation is better than the sorry 85% of other outfits around. And is the most popular and known about higher paying in the trucking world. And yes there are companies paying more than WMT. But they don't advertise period. And with some you may have to know someone to get in. But untill all companies start paying by the hour. I don't see many ppl wanting to come into trucking. GE pays 120k a year vs England paying $120 per week. Now who wants to basicly live in a trk and get 120 p/wk. Instead of m-f 12 hrs a day, home most nights, company paid meals, and company paid lodging even though the truck has a sleeper. But the thing with new comers is they don't want to pay there dues! One can't start at the top in any field.

 

See what I mean? How dare I speak of other jobs in the trucking industry! And I do not recall saying Walmart is so bad, just stating others have options and this isn't the only good job in trucking. Could be why some DC's have trouble hiring, but I understand some of you love to slip seat 3 trucks a week.

 

Oh man, I'd have all of you jumping on me with pitchforks if I made a single con to working at Walmart hahaha nice try.
