What are their transfer policies? If a driver job opens at another DC I would rather work out of how would I request that transfer?
truckdriver31 Thanks this. -
I am training, so far the way I see is not that hard or fast. They give you enough time to delivery. Usually, depends what you hauling. GM are most drop and hook. Groceries have 1-2 live unload with the same trailer, and usually you drop trailer on the last store and p/u an empty, or is full of pallets. Then there are, which I will do later on training, back haul trailer with something I forgot the names. After you finish your day and you still have hours, you can p/u your next day haul ( I am guessing if the load is ready ), and drive and sleep on you first delivery, or on any store and Dc's on the way there. I would use a DC, they have showers.
Once you get flowing and some experience under the belt on how they work is really not that hard work.truckdriver31, texasmorrell and Treputt Thank this. -
Where do WM trucks fuel? Only at DCs?
truckdriver31 Thanks this. -
unless you have to buy fuel on the road. you got ur on credit card

You have to wait 6 months after hired on to request a transfer. And there may be a waiting list if others requested and waiting before you to transfer to same location as you.truckdriver31 and texasmorrell Thank this.

That brings up another interesting observation. Right now, save a night/yard job in Indiana, all the jobs are East or west coast. WM blankets the USA and Canada coast to coast. Why are there no vacant driver jobs in the interior like Texas? WM is the largest trucking fleet in the world by far but only have a few openings. That tells me the drivers are happy at WM and are staying otherwise you would see a long list of openings all over the country. I am wrong with this line of thinking?

I don’t understand. You have a fuel card and buy fuel where you want? Or you fuel at the DC but have a fuel card in case you need to fuel on the road?truckdriver31 Thanks this.
