Wal-Mart vs LTL
 

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.

Walmart because sleeping in the truck for $42 bucks a night is what i like to do.

i would go with wally world

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.

Walmart trucking jobs
 

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.

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