|
|
I saw a brand new Wal-Mart Freightliner Columbia (never seen a Freightshaker from walmart) pulling a brand new bed-bugger trailer today, and it had all the usual Wal-Mart markings on it. Anyone ever see one of these? I've heard that Wal-Mart uses their own trucks to move manager's when they change stores and such, but seemed rather unusual. Nice new equipment though, shiny and clean!

I work at Wal-Mart and I've seen a few Wal-Mart Columbia condos hauling the regular freight trailers as well as the traditional short sleeper International 9200i.
Wal-Mart also has a few Volvo VNL's and at least one Kenworth T600.
Here's one of the moving vans.
And you're right, they are used for moving managers and such. I think they are also used to haul equipment used for remodels and also furniture/computer parts but don't quote me on that. |

Thanks for the info there PackRat. For some reason we don't get many of the walmart freightliners around the northwest. Not sure why, I know that most of the ones coming out my way from Hermiston are volvos or internationals. Again, I appreciate the info.

They may be more of a southern regional thing. |

| I can assure you that the only thing "bedbugger-ish" about them is their trailers...not their bank accounts, and/or pay-stubs. |
