Gordonsville VA DC

The DC uses Schneider, US Xpress and Walmart Drivers. Every now and then you will see other companies pulling freight like USA trucking and Arnold when the building is extremely busy in the summer time.The Walmart drivers do carry the trailers going to the stores in DC. You may want to get an endorsement for doubles. One of the stores cannot accept the normal 53 foot trailer, so they have to use the smaller trailers. You will mostly pick up and drop off dry grocery but for the DC stores, you will be carrying a reefer for the Freezer Dairy Deli and Meat and produce loads. One thing to consider is this, I do not know if they have showers at the DC for the drivers. When you talk with a hiring manager, you may want to ask that.

 

Expect to work weekends, maybe 7 days out at a time. Just a guess.

 

Wal Mart Don't hire fleet guys for that location. It's either Sutherland or Mt. Crawford. I looked on the Wal Mart website to confirm this and I was right.

 

It was not a mistake. We received a paper looking for transfers in to this DC.

 

That's beyond surpising. Considering that they have Mount Crawford & Sutherland an hour & half away each way, They should of put the transfers out at first. The thing is alot of those guys hate doing Grocery Drops.

 

They did put out transfer notices first. Had one in my mail box at the end of last month. I'll stay in Texas.

 

I might be hijacking this thread but how strict is Wal Mart? Even tho I'm an Owner Op, I would sale my rig in a minute for that opportunity if it was worth it. I use to work out of Gordonsville

 

Got the call from Mount Crawford. Wish me luck guys. I'm nervous. I've been driving for 30 years now and a Owner operator for 16 plus years, an always dreamed of this opportunity. To drive for one of the best in the country would be a dream come true. I would truly enjoy the professionalism.
