Ok here is an interesting case:

One of the guys on my shift (afternoon P&D and dockwork) at my LTL barn just gave his two weeks notice. He got on at the new Wal-Mart distribution center as a company driver.

Not to thread cap, but what do LTL, and P&D mean?

Less-Than-Truckload.

UPS, Con-Way, FedEx, Yellow, Roadway, USF, yada yada yada...


Pickup and Delivery.

You drive around with a 2 axle daycab and pup, taking on or off 1-3 skids at a time.

We have a ton of local Wally World drivers with a DC 3 miles away. Those guys have been there from the start and are making some $$ that most company drivers may never see.

I know they wont take anyone without 250k and 3 years experience, but they dont go far anymore. And I hear that they havent had any layoffs in the past 10 years its been open, unlike the LTL carrier down the block.

I tried Wal-Mart and could not stand it. Way to structured and to many rules. Good for others but not so much for me. Wal-Mart is not the greatest trucking job out there but there pay is substantially better than those giant mega-corporations like Swift, J.B. Hunt, etc.

Where does one need to apply for Walmart trucking jobs ? Is there any website or company name ? What are the pay and benefits like ? What about mileage and hometime ? Would appreciate a response

1st you need to locate a local distribution center, which Im not 100% sure IF or where one is around Pittsburgh. I believe that the one in Woodland PA and the perishables in Bedford cover most of the area. Thats where I would start 1st. The woodland location alsways has ads in our local paper, and want you to contact that DC.

perishables in Bedford

That's ran by SNI. They are contracted by Wal-Mart. You would be a SNI driver, NOT a Wal-Mart driver.
