Walmart.

ah, your a "super trucker" you'll do just fine there. Wal-Mart "Low Wages-Always".....

Wal-Mart private fleet drivers are paid very well. It's the store employees that make low wages.

Their warehouse workers and hosteling drivers are paid about average to a touch above. I know when the DC opened here a few years ago they made life difficult for some of the places that paid on the cheap.

One of the guys on my shift did not like LTL and was happy to run a hosteling tractor there for $1.50/hr less. Last I talked to him he's happy working his 4 10s day 1st shift bid.

but anyway 2 more years and I will be eligible to work for this "monster"(in more ways than one I guess) of a company. Thnks for all the info guysl

3 years is the mininum requirement. Most Wallyworld drivers I've talked to say around 5 is about average. And despite what they ad says about preventables, Walmart wants a whistle-clean MVR.

What I've heard (and don't quote me on this) is that you're looking at around .62 cpm for all miles driven. This isn't base mileage, it's factored in after all accessories. Figure an average of about $70,000 per year on the gross. You're paid for all miles driven and everytime you drop/hook a trailer CHA CHING! you get paid. You're even paid for sleeping in the truck. And none of that 2 freebie hours BS at the dock, either. Any such delays and you go on the clock.

That's the kinda deal that ALL OTR drivers should get. There's no reason to provide your services for free like so many guys out there do. It's a tough job and it demands the best. And by golly, it ought to pay the best too.

Sorry, CFM your pay per mile is way off- for starting wages. Had a girlfriend who's father was a "senior" career driver for Wal-Mart- Bentonville, Ar--30yrs of service. They pay .37cpm to start(today). But they all clear 60,000 a year-- easy. Her father(senior-30years) pulled down around 85,000 a year(that was 13years ago---but, was gone her entire life growing up---and she didn't want a "heavy" relationship with Me( because I was a newbie JBHunt OTR driver--but that's a different story.
