Why don't I see Walmart trucks at Truck Stops? 

So true

To bad they don't treat there employees the same

@@shanepaul4377Walmart? It’s actually not a bad company to work it’s just the store management can make it worse. Walmart has a lot of benefits and they pay pretty well for the easy work you do.

​@@TheBlackAztec3i worked thier for 5 years of my life in illinois. Fuck that company.

​@shanepaul4377 the company itself isn't bad to work for. It all comes down to how much of a hell the store management is. The store I work at had a great manager for about 8 years. He then went to a larger store. The next manager was horrible. He was only using our store as a stepping stone. Then him and another manager who got thrown into the position swapped stores and she's a pretty good manager.

Because they sleep at Walmart

I have never had difficulty finding a birth at one of our stores. Moderate day planning will solve any problems with the infrequent store where zoning prohibits parking. Stores are open late and way more reasonable on all items ($) than a truck stop.

​@@LoraLillysandra*NO!!!!*

@@rhuttrho88 can we get to know each other’s

@@billware6721 Do you get a discount in the store?

​@victorycousineau4457 hey a super trucker,he don't know math

Before I left Walmart they were hiring those swift drivers

My Sam’s Club is using Swift to deliver from our dry DC now🤣

@pinball2002 and in a year Walmart will hire some of those swift drivers that's what they did in California

And keep esp.away from people like you

Walmart pays their drivers really well,100k a year

Now that it’s no longer 24hrs it must feel like their own private clubhouse.

I stopped reading at "should of (sic)".

@@PrimericanIdolYou should have specified why you stopped reading. LOL

Drivers generally don't deal with "John Q Public".

UPS drivers now set to make $175,000 per year total compensation after latest union contract. Crazy...

​@@PrimericanIdolYes you should've stopped reading when you saw he "should of". Lmao!😂😮😊😅

You reminded me of not going to Comic-Con any more. Too many people there that never touched a comic book in their life lol. Not like before.

Yup. Last time I stayed at a truck stop some mouth breather backed into me. Apparently it was his 4th accident in 2 months. Rest stops are king.

Or maybe a real pederast.

Truck stops smell like urine

What truck you been going to

Are you on google chat

@@youngchirp12 google chat

Trucks stops are not loud smh

I never drove a semi truck but I bet it is an interesting job. I did travel the US and Canada in a motorhome in the 80's and 90's and enjoyed it but when my eyesight started deteriorating and I could no longer drive I sold the motorhome. Such traveling can get expensive quickly, there were some summer months (I was a professor and had summers off into the early 1990's) I racked up $1800 on my Mobil card plus a couple thousand on my Visa or Mastercard. Fortunately I could afford it but it added up quickly.

Hello how are you doing are you on google chat

@@LoraLillysandraLOL

There are stores that we can get booted at for parking in our store parking lots. There are some cities and towns that pass laws that no truck can park at the store. Walmart does not control that it’s the dicks in the city and towns that do that

Especially in and around Atlanta.

Not all, there are multiple stores that do not allow WalMart truck parking. That is usually a restriction due to local ordinance or the property owner.

You must live in a ghetto. All my Walmart stores around me allow free camping in there parking lots. Along with trucks. They always allowed over night sleeping in parking lots. Every morning there are tons of RVs, and trucks in my local Walmart.

Walmart is one of the worst companies on the planet ! Like 40% of its employees are on welfare because Walmart pays them so little ! You own Walmart stock or something ?

Costco has entered the chat.

@CanadianEbikeoutlet Out of curiosity, what department or position did you work in?

Yes

@wills5310 If there weren't so many of you clogging up the roads we wouldn't have to pull out in front of you. ;)

Yes, but there are some differences between the types and areas of the types, like most stores in one area of a state or three states are serviced by that DC, if it holds store freight or frozen etc. There are several that ran teams mostly, like the one in Greencastle, IN. I ran several different types of freight out of there, office supplies, clothing, shoes, sporting goods. It is a Dry Goods warehouse that services many states, as I was sent far side of Wisconsin one day and a few days later I was in Georgia. The starting pay was $70k and when I left I was making $78k, after only 10 years driving for them. And they only made you drive with ONE Log Book and let you take a family member along if you were not carrying another driver and driving alone. ASKED US WHERE WE WANTED TO GO, treated us like Kings! The other DC's we delivered to often sent us out with THEIR store freight, but it was 100% NO TOUCH freight, and, if you want to, they have their own bedbug trailers, (Family freight home movers), that they often use to move managers and bosses house furnishings around with, and you MIGHT like that or hate it, I just never asked to do that, as there are only a few. Mister SAM, the original boss, liked his truck drivers but hated the Unions. He drove an old pick-up and liked to shoot game birds in south Texas, with his dog. They even sent me and Co-driver to New York City 11 days after 9-11, with one of many trailer loads of free/collected Relief Freight, carrying gloves, bottled water, gas masks, etc. The stores all have a monthly charity budget , and I have never worked a place where the company and the workers contribute so much to a Charity fund that they can chose to give out to the local charities, first come, first served; I never worked at a place that gave or encouraged giving so much, they even let us and customers pay out all or some on stranger's Lay-a-ways. It's a shame to see the news shows with the Rioters and Vandalism causing the company to close so many stores. 100 people employed at each store, now unemployed because of the thieves.

@twirkrr,If your driving in Los Lunas nm,perhaps I see you in the vicinity. I drive to belen and hagerman often. I stay at truck stop in Vaughn sometimes.

Im a Plainview driver, glad they finally fixed the passenger side fuel pump there at Los Lunas, been forever it feels like 😃

@@spaniardmartinez6896 You can catch me on Highway 60 a lot. I love driving back. It’s peaceful and no traffic.

@@Amarillo_By_Morning It’s about time 😂

@twurkRR,I take hwy 60 once in a while.willard is a cool little town.

I have had back-hauls from the DC's stores in one northern state to another to sit and wait on a load of pickles, for a day. But in most cases, you try to get to your home DC every 1-2 or 3 days. He's right about the Employee Discount Card, though it's not that great, doesn't give you 10% off on everything. I was one of those "Other Drivers" from a DC that hauled to Menomonie, WI and to Georgia and Marcy, New York and many DCs in between, even went down to Bentonville, AR. once. We were treated great!

I have failed many of these tests. And I have just come to the conclusion that it's because I am a free thinker and have common sense. I can not be easily controlled or manipulated and more than likely be a nuisance to them. They are probably right, but their loss. I have since gone into business myself.

@@Madvizion Welcome to Walmart! 🤣 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lKcKvpFU7BA.html

They have a gym membership thingy where you can go to almost any gym in the USA for around $20, I can't remember the name "Walton one pass", maybe.

Nope. I’ve been in the fire extinguisher industry for 12 years and I’ve walked every square foot of 50 Walmart stores in central Florida. Never seen or heard of a place for truckers to sleep/shower/etc.

No showers located at any retail stores

there are less and less out there that will let you park now. it sucks because it makes it hard to get groceries.

_Alot_ is a town in India. _A lot_ is more than one of something.

Because these new drivers are dirty and litter everywhere. They ruined it for the rest of us

Ya the signs that no no semi parking do not apply to us

Can't hardly find any now because y'all throw gallow jugs of piss everywhere,shit in a bag,half eaten food,I don't blame Walmart for cracking down,nobody wanna pick that haz-mat up!!!

@@Tyronewiggums1 on google chat

@@jocklarue9512 on google chat

That's awesome 👌

@@walmartprofessionaldriver I wish other non truckers acted the same way. The showers at UNA at i-94 and 10 mile road in SE michigan was a life saver when I was homeless. You definitely don't wanna act like a dick at these places when you depend on them for basic hygiene. 8 bucks for a shower, clean towels and fresh soap aint bad

Just make sure that the truckers have access to the freshest buns.

If you have any Schlotzsky’s near you, they sell Cinnabon’s since they’re owned by the same parent company. It might save you a trip, but you probably enjoy that special drive.

@@LuckyCharms777 how close is it to 13 mile road and gratiot?, I live in Fraser, SE macomb county michigan

Those Northern IL Loves are sometimes better than a Walmart, but not always.

We are regional. I'm away from my home DC all week

This is not true at. There’s quite a few drivers that have a sign trucks and they do not slip seat.

@TwurkRR the majority have their own truck. Usually just big DCs with first year drivers have to share. We are working towards a truck for every driver but they supply chain is still back ordered

@@walmartprofessionaldriver I’m out of 6884 in Los Lunas, NM. We’re all on 5/2 5/3 here with 21 drivers.

And entertaining lot lizards

@@nickchemist723 I parked at a few truck stops over the years when I traveled using a motorhome and never noticed any prostitutes at truck stops. I have seen TV documentaries about them but never noticed one in real life -- and I used to use the services of prostitutes when I was younger.

Best comment I've seen

I don't understand what exactly you meant, can you be a more precise?? Pls

From what I heard they watch your every move .

They do but you never hear drivers complaining about pay and being disrespected and talked down to by dispatch Walmart is. A company that everyone knows has strict rules if a person don’t like to follow rules Walmart is not the company for you

@@OneshotMovement I'm pretty sure every trucking company uses GPS antennas on their equipment.

They really did. It just keeps getting better too

A good friend of mine hired on at Walmart 10 years ago, he never averaged $100,000 a year but he quit because management sucked so bad he couldn't take anymore bullshit. And this is a guy that went in with 30yrs experience. So, take that as you will.

Seriously...

Using it as a terminal .p

I pull sets and 53s for UPS and and I stop at 1 or 2 truck stops every night to get a coffee and do a walk around and there are FedEx drivers there practically every night. I drive between Seattle and Portland so maybe it’s a little different where you live.

Or some female FedEx driver is eating a sandwich at the fuel island after take a 20 minute pee and all of it before fueling.@@kennydings3879

@@kennydings3879 Agree! Was leased to FedEx ground for years. Saw lots of other FedEx trucks at the various truck stops. I would talk to the other operators every day.

YEAH, ain't that some shit huh?

Cause he already been brainwashed into the cult

I asked them that question when I called about driving for them and they couldn’t really answer me, they said they just do 😂

Because the people working at the DC have already proven track records and they know their personality. We do the same thing at my company. Nobody gets hired without a minimum of 2 years experience unless we pull from inside the building and they've been working there for at least 2+ years. They've proven they have a good work record and they can handle the stress of being a truck driver. We approach them and ask them if they're interested and then send them to school and I get to be the lucky stiff that helps train them in the real world applications that school never teaches anyone. They unfortunately learn more with me in one week then they learn in the whole few months at school. I can also tell my boss that I would NOT think someone is a good candidate for a driver because there is a large customer service aspect to our operation.

They want order followers not thinkers🙄

I don't work for them but I would think if anything 5 years pulling doubles would put you ahead because that is an additional skill. Even though it's probably not a relevant skill for wally world, it's a skill that not everyone has, and if anything other that a 48/53 taking more real estate turning, hauling doubles on a dolly or a super B is harder and requires more skill

You are more than qualified. Only need 30 months in last 36 months tractor trailer. Use me as a reference with my employee number. John Dian #37933. You'll be top of the list

Lol I wish it was that much options even close. And no I don't split. There are sign on bonuses for the new driver at select locations and once they are hired they can also get the referral bonuses

I would like to have met Sam Walton. From what I heard he cared about his employees, his kids just care about the dollars. I bet they are grumbling about Michigan stores, last I knew the local Wal-Mart was paying stockers $18 an hour and still couldn't find enough of them.

@@mharris5047 I think his daughter has a $300 million yacht. can't imagine he'd approve of what it's become.

I was a tax professor for 30 years, after that I worked banking compliance consulting in the credit union industry. I was dragged kicking and screaming into retirement in late 2004 but am now glad I retired.

It's a pretty awesome company!

Distribution center

Pay is by the mile and activities so paid for drop, hook, live load, chaining, wait time etc. All that on top of milage. Cameras facing forward only active in an event like hard breaking etc., there are different schedules starting every day of the week. Most common is a 5 on 2 off, they can start that schedule on all different days. Holidays like Christmas they will get you back the day before to go home. Thanksgiving if you want they will run you in the morning then send you home to return the next day unless you requested time off or it's your natural day off. They pay us $42 /night to sleep in the truck no food allowance, but they have catering at least a dozen times a year. We have shops at all Distribion centers that do everything in house. We use fleet net for roadside

Cameras recording you isn’t a big deal. I’m a transit bus operator. There are cameras inside and outside. They actually protect you with evidence too.

That you friend is a tough market. The filled up a year ago and I haven't seen a job listing since. If they do have an opening it may only be listed for a day. So it's a long game check the website drive4walmart.com often and use a reference like myself to have an advantage over other applicants. Good luck

Thank you for the quick response I got your reference name and thing just in case it opens up thank you

Check it often, but opening are rare, they just go fast., usually right after somebody old dies!@@Jersey_da_Trucker

Up to 110 per year I would say there is no way ypu make less than 97k. That's just messing around

You make your own hours. Typically at least 10 per day. And a pretrip before every trip per dot

Up to 110k first year plus 21 days paid off and 4 additional paid safety days off

Any details how or why ?

@@dupajasio4801 ya, my last gf,

them lot lizards....

And once a year, some fool tries to get a big paycheck so he Brake-checks you, with the company name on your trailer. I smoked those brakes, and glad I didn't have a heavy load on. Before dash cameras.

Oh, don't worry. The Swift and England reputation will catch up and they won't hold those accounts for long. A swift driver will surely destroy a dock plate or destroy another truck backing in to a dock!

Just come work for walmart. It's way better than just having a walmart account. Drive4walmart.com

That's what I've heard. Werner where I work has Walmart accounts back east in Illinois and Ohio. They're starting to do pop up accounts in different locations due to the need for freight to be moved, don't understand why they need us if Swift and England have the accounts. It's a way for us to get our foot in the door the way I see it. Anywhere west of Colorado it's Swift and England.

@@walmartprofessionaldriver I'm considering coming over there once things get better, would hate to come over and get laid off if things get way worse.

@cassholloway4369 we are no where close to lay offs. We are trying to get rid off all outside carriers touching our freight. Looking for another 6 to 10k drivers over 800 in California alone
