Road Test tomorrow for Walmart

The Fish n chips place is better! Lol but, I can’t do that too often because fried foods tend to make me kinda sick sometimes! Lol

 

I’ve been sooooo lucky to have been able to have an almost 18 years in this so far with just 2 companies that treated me well...

 

We are trying to recruit them. But yeah we have already been pulling loads from there.

I expect some shifting of fleet to support transition. Meaning some of us will push north while alot of Indiana DC's move to run there.

I think with the addition of day cab shifts they will fill the 115 positions quickly. Well it is going to be 115, Ibthink they are already around 65(?) domiciled there.

 

Wow! I like pulling the Michigan dry grocery loads outta there every so often.. they’ve never given me a reefer load; but one time asked me if I would do one.. I told them I ran dedicated reefer for my other company for almost 6 years; so I could if they wanted me too....

 

Well... that will be an opportunity for those who live closer to Gas City or just want to be dominciled at a different DC....But, it seems to me that this shifting will be quite a long process to build up all the private fleet numbers again after losing so many this year... I guess I can count on being there for a while longer as a dedicated! Lol

 

We have 48 in a class a week from Monday. 4 will be Hoptown drivers and I think 3 are Coldwater. The rest are either Seymour or Gas City. If I recall what my GTM said.

Right now Hoptown is above where we were in driver count before Oct of 17. And we are still hiring because we need more drivers to cover growth.

I really think the daycab thing may appeal to folks around there.

 

Awesome! I know you guys can build it back up again!

 

Pulled three loads out of Gas City in the last couple days, one was reefer. I’m guessing I’ll be a temporary Gas City driver for the remainder of the year.

 

I think we all will.

I have always considered it Walmart freight, on a Walmart trailer, going to a Walmart (or Sams). So long as we are scheduled right it really doesn't effect pay
