Just as someone who has limited third hand experience with Walmarts private fleet.. Everyone I've talked to loves it. The way I figure it, the ones that don't are the ones that can't drive to start with, because management gets on em. But I also know if a Walmart truck breaks down, they pay top dollar to A) get it to a shop fast, B) get it fixed fast, and C) get the load to wherever it's going fast. Key word here fast.

But think about the supply infrastructure Walmart has in place. People say Amazon is going to end up shutting Walmart down. Nah. Walmarts ain't shifted into the upper gears. Yet. With this grocery pick up, pick up today, and ship to stores, plus their supply line, they're getting their ducks in order. And when they're ready? Oh boy. We gonna see some mess. Like waking a sleeping bear.Trucker61016, laaylor and MilkyJay Thank this. -

Most of the time, we charge a flat rate to come out, and a by the mile rate after 25 miles. And that's from when the engine cranks. I have a service contract with Walmart's fleet services and they outright pay the milage, including the first 25. They pay on a 6 month basis for us, lump sum. Let's just say I'd have to respond to a Walmart truck some 200 times or so in that six months to equal that lump sum if we were charging by the service. That 1.75 the normal rate I mentioned is the miles flat rate.
Let's just say that Walmart money is good money to meTrucker61016, Bigface82 and laaylor Thank this. -
