I'm surprised Walmart doesn't require safety vests

    I just got done with a Walmart load and it's been years since I've had a Walmart run. WhIle waiting in the long line at the window I thought about how just about every rule requirement you can think of is at Walmart except for safety vests. I guess that is so they can easily spot the yard dog goofing off since they wear one.

    I want to thank you for posting something that would give Walmart one more reason to delay me. 4 hours is not enough.

    Weird that people complain about four hours. I get delayed for days at chicken plants at least five times per month. I'm being delayed right now. Was told this Tyson load will be ready last night but now they are saying Monday.

    Walmart is not the worst place on the planet. Try Kroger in Tolleson AZ, They require safety vests and a firm mental strength.

    Yep. I was there two weeks ago. Waited an hour for a door and then another 6 and half to unload.

    Since the mention of delays came up, I loaded a CH Robinson load (as a company driver, no choice) at one of their warehouses in So Cal. I had a 4pm appointment. I was there at 3pm. Got a door at 6. Sat till midnight not touched when I got a friendly knock on my door kicking me off the property. It was explained that they go home at midnight and no trucks on the property. No trucks on the street either. No parking signs everywhere, and enforcement all over the place. My appointment and how long I had already been there? They didn't care. Oh yeah, since you didn't get your load on time, tomorrow is a work in load. Have a great night! :banghead:
     
    KB3MMX and Lepton1 Thank this.
