    If he offered, I wouldn't accept. Driving a dump bucket doesn't interest me in the least.

    Creaffer has always been advertising high pay for the past few years, a lot higher than other megas. I’ve been wondering if it was snake oil like it usually is or not. A dedicated fleet pops up when i select my state, and 6 figures sounds really nice on paper. The problem is that said dedicated fleet runs out of the North Platte WM DC…300 miles away from me. I’m not sure why Walmart built a huge DC in basically the middle of BFE. The driver pool can’t be that large

    don’t you have to live within a certain distance of the DC though? I have seen Crete trucks delivering at my local Walmart before so i know they go there

    Their "up to" pay is like everyone elses. When they say 6 figures, it includes their profit sharing and 401k match. Which "technically" is pay, but it isn't pay I can use to pay bills right now. When I left I was making $0.73/mi (which included a .02 surge bonus, that went away after the covid freight surge died down). They restarted me at $0.66, which is a penny less than what I was making at SPD after my 2nd anniversary.(Which included $0.10 perdiem). I think the dry side still makes $0.02 less than reefer.

    You're missing the SPD family.

    I'm too old for flatbed. It's been a little over a week since I woke up and had to stretch to get my back to quit hurting enough to get out of bed.

    some of it...like the APU and fueling at the Love's of my choice...and being able to split log...they don't allow split logging here.
