walmart is the best driving job i've ever had

Since when did ones pay become public knowledge for anyone? Some people list their pay some don't. If someone wants to keep their personal matters personal no one should be badgering them.

 

LOL no one asked for a print out of his W2, a general CPM and accessorial pay is all, He bragged about $12 ins. why not be a little more open about the pay scale. That will not tell anyone how much money he makes or give out personal financial information. I am just saying!

 

I read on another forum that they start about $250 a day and the average driver can usually make between $300 and $425 a day depending on mileage.

Didnt USA used to have a WAL Mart contract? So now they have thier own fleet? wow talk about driving mainstreet america into the ground. Sam was one smart SOB.

 

How much more private can you get with Cyber Anonymity ?

Pi$$ on them Cowboy hat wearing super dude truckers
I turned down their job offer back in 1994.I felt my freedoms and happiness were more important then
being a walmart line walker.
Jobs and pay scales are not whats important to many full blood truckers in the US.

I'll keep my self earned integrity over some spoon fed pride any day I have left to walk this earth.

He who dies with the most toys still dies.

 

The original post stated that this was the best driving job that the person found. Great. I am happy for them. If you notice, most drivers are interested in pay like anyone else. Very evasive answers to others posting about CPM and what it is. I don't think I was badgering at all. I mearly asked what his pay rate was. I wouldn't know him if he walked up to me and said hello.

This is an anonymous forum. I am happy where I work and have no plans to leave. I could not put up with what 99% of the OTR drivers go thru. However, there are those out there that would like to better their situation. Wal Mart might be just that.

I would think that answering the question of how many CPM's is simple. They would only be helping out others who are looking for a career not just a job. Like another stated, drivers are not looking for a W-2 printout. Mearly, they are looking for a good career.

By the way, if you are interested in how much I make, send me a private message. If you prefer that I post it for all to see, I will gladly do it.

This forum is intended to steer drivers clear of bad companies and help them find the good ones. Montanamel has the opportunity to help others. Let's see if he can.

Drive safe

 

Well said!!!!

 

Although I am not a real Walmart employee, I am kinda.... I drive for Covenant on Walmart dedicated division, It's the BEST division in the co. Since I started I felt SUCH A DIFFERENCE. The way I am treated (at Walmart dispatch office, by my Covenant dispatcher, the load planner, the shippers....) Walmart trailers are ALWAYS in good condition, they provide very good directions to shippers, their people are always nice and helpful. Was talking to a Walmart driver another day, he said was making about 50 cpm (can't remember how many miles a week...) Covenant pays me only 27.5 cpm (after a year in this co.) but it guarantees at least 2500 miles per week. The Walmart driver told me Walmart requires an impecable record (for at least 4 years).

 

Thanks rocks for the info, and we dont even know how much money u made last year

 

I started in the Walmart dedicated division last January. Before that I was in the regular fleet at Covenant. This co. pays pretty bad. Started making 14 cpm during training (total miles), then it was raised to 17 and 18 and 19 cpm during teaming (regular fleet). When I drove solo in December, was making 31 cpm and made 3600 during that month after taxes. That was MY BEST MONTH last year. Haven't calculated how much I am making this year so far. But I know that I average 2500 miles a week (sometimes more, sometimes less) # 27 cpm. Covenant was paying me (a year in the co. now) they were paying me 28 cpm because of the MANDATORY per diem. But now the co. decided to cut one cent per mile for EVERY driver to cut costs.... I talked to a USXpress driver who is also on a Walmart dedicated account, not sure how much he is making but it must be more than what Covenant pays. I am at Covenant because this is my first co. and now I enjoy SO MUCH this division that I don't want to leave.... yet.
