Back To The Walmart Account

Well congratulations!
I'm doing the same thing out of WM DC 7077 in Cheyenne, mainly to have my terminal assignment switched from New Kingston. I am loving it so far, despite every load being a refer.
Terminal:
A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.

Thanks! I always wondered how that DC was, I’ve heard mix reviews about it. But you can say the same about this DC, but I like it.

Congrats, Jamie

What sold me on the Cheyenne DC is the full kitchen! Somebody is always in there cooking and sharing.

Uhhh....No. I'm not wearing a uniform ever again. 32 years was enough for this guy.
Nobody said you had to wear a uniform. Dedicated drivers don't, unless of course you count the tracksuits and flip-flops I often see.
I mean the WMPF specific drivers.
Nah, I was just saying my DC was the place to be man. That's all. But since you mentioned it, jeans, sneakers, and a collared shirt hardly constitute a uniform.
While I was in the office yesterday talking to some office folks, the fleet manager over heard how highly I talked about the Walmart account either as a dedicated driver or helping out as a national driver and I was asked if I wanted to be in kind of a recruitment video they're planning to make this Thursday when the COO's of Crete & Shaffer come by to visit and talk to drivers.
Fleet Manager:
Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager
The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.New Reply:

Well I decided to go back to the Walmart account out North Platte, NE for Crete. Came here to help out and forgot about how much I missed it here, excluding the home time problems I’ve had in the past as I explained in another post.
Been running meat and produce overnight to the Walmart stores we cover.
