There will be some type of programmer or robotic engineer or something riding along, not typical trucker drivers going along for the ride I would...
What's your time frame for this to happen for lets say half the trucks to be autonomous?
I agree.With the amount of brands that P&G owns, Wal-Mart's shelves would be empty for sure if they had a fall out with them.
I have not seen corporate do this as of yet. But you're right, it's bully tactics if they do implement it for sure. I don't see any shipper...
From what I've seen here, the carrier will be fined unless it's a private fleet vendor run,then the vendor is charged. If it's a shipper that...
I think huge commercial freight drones will be more of a threat than autonomous trucks imo.
That's exactly what I just said. No need for you to wait. If a load is rejected, the vendor will have to make arrangements to pick up the load and...
The reason why is because most perishable commodities like fresh meat and produce are paid after the freight is delivered most of the time. Fresh...
We have many flatbeds coming through. But like REO said you are in and out as maintenance loads are not part of the production of the warehouse...
That's what I meant. Drivers and I won't have to deal with lumper crap anymore. Also, another thing coming down the pipeline is we are going to be...
Never heard of a DC that only had an auto response without an option to talk to somebody. We have other DC's calling, employees calling, stores,...

Hello all, my name is Eric and I'm writing a few articles on here for the benifit for the drivers who run Wal-Mart live unloads to grocery DC's....
Not true. WM will charge the carrier, and in certain circumstances the vendor, if WM has to change the appointment at an earlier date in the...
Wal-Mart does that already but it's a flat rate late fee. I've seen vendors switch carriers that haul for WM if they are constantly late.
Never heard of any Walmart DC refusing a load because the seal was not on the BOL. They simply check the seal on the trailer, put the seal into...
Casa Grande does not do the hiring. All drivers in Arizona are hired out of the regional DC in Buckeye,AZ.
It's because fresh produce, meat, freezer and dairy items..basically most anything perishable is purchaced after the freight is accounted for....
Dry goods is not much of a factor here. It's fresh meat and produce that have the limited space as it often comes in and ships out the same day....
Ask to talk to the operations manager. Walmart's policy is if you make it into the hallway and your in line you are not to be counted late. Also...
