    I know they are. They've even said as much. I was trying to point out that you cannot say that Walmarts distribution and warehousing is better or worse than Amazon's because they are on two different levels. Walmart is much bigger...like 4x bigger.

    I did...obviously. And obviously, you disagree. Instead of broadly painting me as an idiot, why don't you kindly tell me where I am incorrect.

    How in the hell did this even get brought up?

    Wal Mart has peeked our . Only going downhill from here on. Just like K Mart. Only reason everyone shops there is it’s their only choice. Soon to change ( over next 20 yrs) they’ll be gone like K Mart. They’re already slacking and getting arrogant and Lazy resting on Laurels. First business plan that can beat their prices and provide service ( imagine customer service). They will slowly shrink away.

    It is not that the old timers are just complaining about things being different....It was the way they were treated after 20 to 30 years of hard work(before drop and hooks and computer logs) and the flippant attitude of Smith and other top managers. In their eyes, we should all be JB Werenerswift type drivers and 50 percent turnovers per year to keep wages down....not to mention more contracting out of freight. A lot just said goodbye and either retired or took positions with other companies. The people above Smith started noticing the exits, failure of contractors and higher accident levels...got his wings clipped. It is better now than it was just a year ago. Keep in mind though Smith still has resentment for losing his performance bonus...noticed any excessive hiring??

    Basically yes. They want you to know what you're looking at and what you're looking for. Doesn't need to be as detailed but they want you to have a clue.

    If you remember it well that way, do it as such. You'll pass the pretrip if you do it the same way the dmv wants it. Might be a bit more in depth than needed but you'll pass 100% everytime just as i did.
     
    interpreter and Rd3603 Thank this.
