Walmart evidently has now come up with a plan to make a billion $$ in Revenue

Then so long Wally World. Amazon is just as cheap, but with less PITA factor from what I understand.

 

Amazon is worse imo. They used to book 5 trucks a night, use 3 cacnel the other two and leave you sit for 24 hours for another chance to haul their stuff. Light loads though.

 

You can tell something is going on with Walmart by the "talent" they have driving some of their trucks... They must have lowered the hiring standard... Been seeing more and more of them acting like animals, certainly don't recall that a few years back.

 

This has nothing to do with the trucking part.
There gonna charge the shipper for this not the carrier.
Are you listening brokers. That means you holding
Onto the loads till the last possible minute trying
To get cheapest piece of junk you can get to do it.

When Walmart fines that shipper 3 percent,
There next phone call is to the broker asking
What happened.
This is gonna be great to watch.

 

Oh my god, the nerve of them. To expect what they ordered to be delivered in full, on time. 3/4 of the time. Personally, I'd say that's setting the bar pretty low.

 

All you guys who say "it'll get there when it gets there"??? Other major shippers and buyers have had similar policies for many years. Except they'll either reduce the freight cost by a set amount or drop the carrier, or both. In my world where I work (and with competitor carriers, too) on-time delivery and pickup is THE most important part of the job. To do that consistently requires no screw-ups or loafing around.

But we've been keeping Walmart loads to a bare minimum lately just because of their worsening history of costing our trucks/drivers too much time over the past few years. They are strictly a last resort.

Whatever they "save" in efficiency will be lost in having to pay more to get the goods to their door as more refuse to play their games and haul their freight out of habit. If they'd not jerk around most higher dollar grocery items haulers like they do, they'd be okay to work with.

 

I quite pulling Walmart loads no need to put up with their crap. Doesn't matter if it's a full trailer or 3 pallets they take theire sweet time unloading it. I'd rather pay more at another store then spend my money at Walmart.

Walmart low morals low wages ALWAYS.

 

Amen !

 

I used to deliver about every load a day early. They were drop and hook and I would usually get then there the day before they were due, but my company made us stop, as early hurt their delivery record as much as late did.
