Can You Guess Why I Refuse to Haul Walmart Loads?

what takes the guard 20 minutes?

 

How should I know?
I don't haul that junk anymore anyway

 

do they break the seal on your reefer, manually write down your DOT #, #### like that? that's basically what I'm asking haha. no worries though

 

You are assuming way too much without hearing the other side. Your post doesn't make the OP look bad but it sure makes you look like an imbecile.

 

Apparently you failed to read his post? Complaining about the rules that Walmart has is pointless. I have over twenty years of customer service and you fail to understand that the customer is always right even when wrong! Your attitude is the one that's wrong! Just because he's a trucker doesn't make him a good one! If I don't like my job then only I can change that! It's futile to complain about the job and piss and moan about it on a forum. I know for a fact what i say is true. I make $20 and hour, no 1099 contract, no OTR, no cpm, no overnights and pick my hours during the day and no weekends! How did I do it? I don't like previous jobs in trucking for one reason or another and kept looking until I found what I was looking for. So many people settle for mediocrity like you and just want to point the finger at someone or something other than taking ownership for themselves. Grow a set and get what your worth, stop complaining about the job, when you are the problem and the only one who can change it. If you don't like it, get out there with the libs and protest life's not fair!

 

What world are you people living in.
Half of are freight is nothing but Walmart and
Sams club distribution centers.
2 hours after appointment time and your empty and out of there. Like clock work.
Week after week after week, etc.
best place there is to deliver. I know exactly what
I'm gonna get 99.9 percent of the time.

 

You must be lucky..
I used to do a lot of wal mart deliveries. Max 1 hour early don't be 1 minute late. Your time in is determined by when the guard enters your po#. So you have to gauge how many trucks in front of you and what speed they're moving in at. It really is a pita. I hope I never have to resort to that crap again. I will say I was outta there generally no more than 3 hours after appt time. Not as bad as some places. Now with their if you're too early you're fined. Late? Fine. Complicate their dumb lumper process even more. Yeah that should work well. You ordered it. You unload it. Drop your trailer chock your wheels maybe even an air line lock and turn in your keys. F that noise.
Costco gets it. Sysco gets it. They have more than enough loads for me.
You can have that wal mart garbage.

 

Do you drive a truck by any chance? Because by the way you are throwing this driver under the bus, it suggests to me you likely don't.

Being early should always be a good thing. Customers should be glad their freight is showing up before the scheduled time, so they know it'll be on time. And even then, if it's going to be late, that's fine too... because truck drivers aren't machines, and they are susceptible to delays for things outside their control.

Treating truck drivers like crap is why they are disgruntled.

 

Hes not disgruntled he wont go back didnt you read that
