And away we go…another Walmart Transportation thread

Are the Canadian drivers well paid? Two times I’ve seen the same Walmart driver picking up plastic bottles for the refund out of the garbage bins and recycling box in pullouts from Calgary to Vancouver..

 

It's not micromanaging. I get it, you don't like Walmart and you've never worked there but you know all about it because of some guys who couldn't cut it there? All they really want is the freight delivered safely without running over anybody, or thing and don't get hurt yourself. There's a routine to everything trucking, that's all it is. A good routine that's safe and efficient.

 

What is average weekly paycheck?
What average weekly miles?
How often are you home?

 

micromanagement

noun

1. The direct management of a project etc to an excessive degree, with too much attention to detail and insufficient delegation
2. 
   

 

I get it. Office pukes trolling the DC or safety monitoring your drop and hook procedure via security cams at remote locations and “speaking with you” if you deviate from the dictated procedure is the VERY definition of micromanaging.

Apparently wally world is falsyfing weight in protein products! Weigh your meats and make sure the weight matches up, with such a major company like this pulling this greedy #### males you wonder how honest they are with their drivers... stay alert and aware of what's happening... you cross reference your w2 statements with (assuming you keep track of miles, dnhks, etc anything paid for), they ever cheat you on payroll? My last reefer otr outfit cheated me! Fuel solution stop miles (from 15 all the way up to 100 daily sounds like a little but times over 5k trucks! Do the math)...

Have you ever had missing earned money?
Ever bring it up? Did payroll or your terminal resolve it right away or play we'll get back to ya by the time you get burned out and forget!

 

No, for someone who's feelings get hurt over constructive criticism it might be. There's a wrong way to do things and a right way. If you're doing something in a manner that might get you or somebody else hurt they're gonna bring it to your attention. You're not in trouble. You're not going to lose your job. Some people might not be diplomatic in bringing it to your attention but that doesn't mean you should get all bent out of shape over it.

I'll give you an example. We've all got or developed bad habits out here. They don't like for you to do the 2 finger twirl when cranking landing gear up or down. They want you to actually wrap your hand around the handle and control it while cranking it. Otherwise the handle might fly out while twirling and crack you in the skull knocking out teeth or whatever. So you're going to get upset if somebody points out you're doing it wrong? You been doing it that way 30 years and think that makes it ok?

That's really all it is. Nothing to get your feelings hurt over. Just trying to break the bad habits we've all been guilty of.
