Home every night for Walmart.

Been doing D.C. doubles at Walmart for a few months now and it’s going good. Home every night, sleep late in the morning, make breakfast in my own kitchen lol. Sometimes I miss being otr and seeing different places, but I like seeing my grandkids every day. Also, the missus is trying to get in Walmart now as a coordinator. Hopefully that works out. She really wants it. We love Walmart. I have no regrets coming here. Thanks to Turtle and everyone else on here for their advice and encouragement as I went through the hiring process here. Last year was a good one and I’m looking forward to many more here. Y’all stay safe.

Thanks Anne! Missus says howdy back. Hope y’all are doing well

Now I’m doing training for running doubles into Washington DC. Pretty interesting. Not as hard as I thought it would be. The hardest part for me is getting used to working nights.

Hey, Brandon;

So excited for you,man!

Yeah, that's what Tom said, when he went to FX/LH for a bit, back when....not as hard as he thought, either!

In mirroring the guys above, WE WANNA HEAR MORE!

Best wishes; stay safe! Howdy to the missus, also~!

ps: If only a DC was closer for us . . . the closer one is 'all full up!'

Thanks!

Congrats on this Brandon! Safe travels.

Yep. That’s exactly how we do it. We drop the first trailer at a Walmart in Maryland right before the DC line. The store docks are in the building and very tight, even with a pup. But there are only three stores in DC and one has a regular dock and takes a 53’

Can you give us a rundown on how that works?

Do you drop a trailer before going into DC and then deliver the front first then go back and get the second?

Looking at the WM at 820 1st St you can't get doubles in there so I'm assuming you just get close and then break your set?

I meant to put this photo with my last post.

She’s doing great! She’s going to ride with me in the truck for the first time next week. She’s excited.

Brandon;

An added "ps:" ... how's the awesome Mrs. Brandon (Stacey) doing, these days????

Adapting well, I hope! Again, if she ever wants to commensurate with a trucker's wife, email is in my profile!

Just make sure that she puts "Trucking Truth" (etc...) in the subject line. I'm good for replies!!!!

Say hi to her from us / me !!

Just thought I’d give my assessment of my first ninety days here at Walmart. It’s been very interesting to say the least. I’m from Virginia but running mostly in Pennsylvania and North Carolina, sometimes Ohio. I usually start my week with a relay load to PA, followed with a back haul to Virginia, and end my week with store grocery remix loads to North Carolina. Overall I’m enjoying it. The pay is good and the benefits good. The other Walmart drivers I run into at the dc’s are all very friendly and helpful. I enjoy the culture here, it’s a great company to work for. I’m glad I made the move.

Thanks!

Very interesting read. Thanks for sharing and congrats on a job well done and good example of persevering under pressure.
