And the fact that this poster wants to take a shower is what provokes you to tell other generations your opinions of them? Look are the points you're making going to turn intelligent anytime soon?
feeling the need to say he deserves a shower by the walmart dc in Lewiston makes him part of the problem YES SIR IT DOES
The way the poster feels about a shower is enough for you to categorize them as a human being? All b.s. aside you don't need much of an excuse to discriminate against others do you.
Yep... its in Auburn about 5 miles south of the DC, and there's parking in the strip mall across the street too. More like stirring the pot... give th' geezer a break! He's probably POd his cat kicked him outta th' recliner!
This is happening more and more, all over. Dedicated costs them more than their Private Fleet does, plain and simple. In some locations, just the damage of freight costs are enough to start minimizing dedicated. Some dedicated drivers (not saying all, by any means) are pissed at Walmart. They feel if they are pulling a Walmart trailer, that they should get everything that a Walmart Private Fleet driver gets. Since they don't, they will make Walmart "pay." Yes, that is immature, short sighted, and stupid. However, it is real. Refer loads that are partly unusable due to careless driving and temp control / handling. Leaving the same "gifts" in the DC's that they leave at truck stops (disgusting beyond belief). The list just goes on and on. Those who are causing the problems will soon be happy, however, as they may get laid off because Walmart no longer uses their company. Then they can once again blame Walmart for all of their problems.
If I never pull for Walmart again it'll be too soon. The whole organization needs a lesson in people skills. Screw Walmart.
The trucking industry needs a lesson in people skills. No drivers are treated better, or with more respect than the Walmart Private Fleet. BTW, what does Walmarts "people skills" have to do with this thread?? Dedicated are treated very well at the DC's. Short of being able to use the Private Fleets showers, they pretty much have everything else available to them. Now, if you have a problem with how their companies (as in Swift, England, etc) are treating the dedicated, then that is on them, and has NOTHING to do with Walmart. Sometimes I think peoples hatred of Walmart clouds their common sense.
I was an outside contractor for Walmart for five years out of Terrell, Texas. Walmart treated me great, and my company wasn't so bad either. If my company hadn't lost the WM contract I imagine I'd still be there today. It's been two years since I quit hauling WM freight, and I'm seriously considering applying to the private fleet if the opportunity presents itself before I buy a new truck this summer.
i delivered Kraft from winchester, virginia there, at exit 80 off of interstate 95 in maine. there is a truck stop at the 75 exit , they have a pizza place in there , i think its called Armonoes or something, its got a drivers lounge with a tv and showers, i took my 10 hour break their, before picking up procter and gamble a few blocks west,
