    900 aint bad that's what? 550 after taxes? I could lay around in truckstop waited hand and food steak everything three times daily. 200 a week...

    (Dispatcher appts would never be met...)

    300 goes to wife who would be over the moon....

    Such were those old days...

    A very long time ago in Sky city at a quiet table game there was 5000 sitting on a card to turn. Two pit bosses eyeballing everything.

    POOF. No problem. Moving on...

    SHEESH. such as luck.

    If you like Wal Mart dedicated and the only issue is pay (I agree $900 per week is not good for 6 days work) then maybe see if Wal Mart would hire you. It would basically be the same job you already have for probably at least twice the pay.

    Where are you in Georgia; tanker companies pay very well.
    With 3 yrs. driving experience, most tanker outfits will hire you.
    Don't have to haul hazmat; can haul food grade. I've done both.

    If you’re hauling Walmart trailers for Swift and making $900 ....apply to Walmart if you don’t mind what you do now. WM will have better PTO and benefits than Swift...especially working 6 days a week! I work for WM 4.5 days a week and can make double what you’re making. Just saying.

    Good luck whatever you do, but I wouldn’t stay at Swift.
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    Magnum will start you off at .47 a mile plus up to 9cpm in bonuses paid monthly. Good equipment too. They ain't perfect. But for a reefer outfit they ain't half bad either.

    I've talked to swift dedicated drivers doing the Batteries loads a few years back they said $1600 per week.
    I'm guessing the OP should apply to Walmart directly. :)
