So I live out in Manchester, happy w/ my current job but curious as to what I hear from some wal mart guys about the raymond, nh and lewiston, me warehouses not too far from me.
Those drivers get home every night? Is that true?
Also, any walmart driver in the northeast/new england area... do you ONLY run from dc's to local stores or do you pick up at suppliers and other warehouses too? and if the pay is 48cpm plus a 5% northeast premium... how can you possibly make 70k a year unless you run about 12,000 miles a month?!?!

We also have “activity” and layover pay. Sitting in a dock, anything over 45 minutes after your arrival starts “unscheduled time”.
Activity is an Arrival, a Hook, and a Live Load/Unload.
A little bit of money all the time equals a lot.Northeasterner and T.Rucker Thank this. -
Your not home every night.....

Northeasterner Thanks this.

Now can anyone break down the current activity pay? $$$ per drop, $$$ per hook, does the detention get paid out in 15minute increments after the 45th minute or do they round it down to the nearest hour? how much for a liveload and live unload, respectively? how much do they pay you to sleep out in the truck?
many thanks! -

Walmart is in the top few highest-paying jobs. You might want to go talk to a recruiter there. They require 30 months experience in the last 36 months.
I would imagine they are very particular about the other qualifications too, like driving record, work history and so forth.
It is rare if ever to see a Walmart driver doing something very stupid like the student driver companies do.
Aside from Walmart, my research shows that the highest pay is among private fleets like captive (not for hire) gasoline haulers, captive industrial gas haulers, and like that. They don't have to use 1970 freight rates to pay their drivers.Northeasterner and T.Rucker Thank this. -
Northeasterner Thanks this.
