Walmart here I come!

When I am sleeping in the truck, I am really not "off duty". I am responsible for the truck and the cargo in the trailer, plus the fact, I am away from home, maybe not working in a general sense, but still on the job.

 

So do the new rate drivers eventually make what we make with longevity raises?

 

After March...no more set runs.

 

No, 38 cents is locked in...no longevity raises...only raise will be end of year payout if they think we deserve it and if they can afford it.

 

On 5/3 you only gain a 1/2day per week and have to rotate trucks...might as well stay 5/2

 

Not sure I’ll be able to stay 5/2 and keep my Truck I haven’t been to meeting mines tomorrow guess I’ll learn more

 

Lol sounds like a casino every time you walk in a store they better be able to pay us out

 

Geez that's sad.. Swift (walmart dedicated) pays more than that per mile lmao.. and we all know what will happen. Those that are "grandfather" in will run the short hauls while those that are new will be getting longer runs!! "Save money live worse"

 

bad part is i went to a dc the other month and there was a opening for a 5/2-5/3. the guys that signed up have been slip seating since 2015

 

Slip seating isn't as big a deal as people make it. I've done it since 2007. Everything I need fits in a backpack.

But have they seriously installed a two-tier wage system where new hires cap out at .38 cpm? That's abysmal, if it's true. Every mega carrier out there caps out at a higher rate, so I see NO point in working for Walmart...ever.

Walmart trucking finally became generic crap along with the rest of the company, I guess. I'm sorry, guys.
