Dedicated accounts as a rookie

I'm a new driver with swift just finished training on the Wal-Mart account. For all the new drivers who ask I would avoid dedicated accounts with department stores or dollar stores. It's hell on an inexperienced driver with lots of local close quarters training and difficult backs. If anyone is interested in the Wal-Mart account ask away

 

Man the #### you deal with tight parking lots, stupid drivers trying to get behind you, parking right in the way and not to mention all the tight turns. Overall great experience but also a career killer if not careful. The schedules are tight and unloading is slow so you can't afford to go slow and careful

 

Try telling that to the neighborhood markets in shopping centers and the docks directly across 4 lanes of traffic

 

Walmart grocery dc, mostly reefer and some dry van. Delivery times vary usually all stops have to be done by x time unless noted with dispatch and they clear it

 

They don't really care as long as your not real late
