Watch your trailer wheels/tandems when backing and of course the end of your trailer. Then follow it around with your truckTravR1 Thanks this.

I totally misunderstood you. I pictured them training you to work inside their warehouse! At least you still get to drive...sux they brought you in so early after time off tho.

When I pulled walmart loads, walmart itself was so locked down that they gave me the EXACT directions to take, including looping around blocks, directions INSIDE the parking lot, etc. I was to check in on both ends of every single move. DC to store. Store arrival. Store departure. Arrival at supplier to drop and hook, when I left said supplier, and so on. Also, at each stop they wanted to know what was left on my 11 AND 14.
Lepton1 and FlaSwampRat Thank this. -
It’s pretty much the same, but I actually rather like it.
I’m hoping if I stick it out a year or so with Pam on their dedicated account, maybe I could get in with Walmart as an employee (never thought I’d say that in my life!)FlaSwampRat Thanks this. -
In a local walmart in White County the manager had a bright idea to hire a 30's age man to play santa in suit for wages today in the garden center.
We were in there for necessary items and heard this howling, the arkansas across the valley HOOOOOO!!! kind. whoo soooeiee etc.
I thought it was a child that wont mind parents and is being bratty and nasty loud. The whole store echoed with this noise. Turned out santa was saying HO HO HO to the poor kids who were edging back a step.
The manager removed Santa right quick. And that was the end of that.
Not even freaking thanksgiving....
Just a little bit of something from the store, makes us less inclined to go into that madhouse.Lepton1 Thanks this. -
