Swift - Dedicated Wal Mart Account - Q & A Time

[@HebrewJerusalemPrince777]

Beautiful backing into that dock. That was a very tight space. Definitely gotta get out and look. I love that Volvo and that’s what I want to get.

[@javoncarla4lyfe876]

[@shapegifter1637]

Now your are at plantations very difficult, thanks for the video bro, we saw each other every morning. The tall 🇭🇹 guy

[@javoncarla4lyfe876]

Ok there is a lot of Haitian there not sure which 1 lol bro

[@javier2939]

Nice work Boss.

[@hoseapierce2118]

You still didn’t say how much you get paid. I heard and I saw something on indeed saying that the weekly pay for Walmart dedicated for regional is 1600 a week. Does that sound accurate? Because they said they come home every other day in Temple, Texas. Does anybody know about that? Does anybody work Swift Walmart regional or dedicated in Temple Texas? Do they have local runs as well?

[@ShawnsNerdCraftCorner]

could i get Walmart dedicated after upgrading to solo driver with swfit

[@javoncarla4lyfe876]

Yes, you sure can.

[@lebronbain4146]

When i was on that account in 2016-2018 that store always had a storage trailer sitting in the door you backed into and the concrete area where your steer tires were wasn’t there either it was much harder then

[@javoncarla4lyfe876]

Yeah it’s hard to get in there when there is a trailer in there but over time you get use to it tho to me

[@OnlyOneAGTheGreat]

Do they have regional walmart dedicated? Where the driver can keep their own truck and not slip seat?

[@javoncarla4lyfe876]

Should be am not sure about that 1 to be honest

[@donaldepolancocruz3720]

Nice work bro, the first time I went to that store it took me like 45 minutes to park lol 😂

[@javoncarla4lyfe876]

Yeah it can be a bit challenging at first but over time by going there over an over it becomes easy

[@javoncarla4lyfe876]

It take some people longer than 45 minutes so you on a timing you will cut dwn after a few times

[@shapegifter1637]

Where that store is?

I tip my hat off to u Bro. I run out of the DC in Macclenny Fl and the toughest backing we have is a neighborhood market in Fruit Cove Fl

[@javoncarla4lyfe876]

Thanks you bro appreciate it I just take a new driver there to back in there… yeah neighborhood market are tuff

[@terrysgamingzone1390]

Dont know the thinking behind how these companies build. I dont think they do. Loading docks should have way more room for trucks.

Hope you don’t have any super trucker god go with you

[@harryentin8438]

Hello buddy. I work at swift on a Walmart reefer account. Can you please do a video on how to set the temperatures, I know its usually set for you. And I have a hard time figuring out how to lift the doors inside the freezer of the trailer. Can you please do a video breaking it down for me. Thank you, stay safe out there and be blessed

[@javoncarla4lyfe876]

Ok no problem i am going to try my best this weekend

Can you work for swift living in Miami? I see the terminal is far from Miami.

[@javoncarla4lyfe876]

Yeah I think that’s going to be too far I can ask for you let you knw

[@michaelal20]

@@javoncarla4lyfe876 thank you. I was worried that I can’t join swift due to distance. Guess I gotta move or go elsewhere.

[@jabez623]

Swift has Freightliners,Kenworth,and Internationals

[@javoncarla4lyfe876]

Yep

[@ra803g6]

How do you know which way to enter Walmart to get to the dock safely?

[@javoncarla4lyfe876]

They got some paper maps at the dc that helps a lot an you can use your gps too but after you go to the Walmarts over an over it becomes easy after hall

[@dubghost1829]

Now what if a truck was already in that other spot

[@javoncarla4lyfe876]

Normally we wait until the truck that’s in the spot come out because it’s not a lot off room around there my friend

[@Yashawi100]

Can you get a dedicated route as a beginner, or do you have to do OTR first?

[@javoncarla4lyfe876]

Yes if you are on a dedicated account yes… no you don’t have to otr first

[@nobull772]

If there is a company with a dedicated account in your area, that needs drivers, then no you don’t need prior experience. I, like you, thought that going OTR for experience was the only way to get on with a dedicated account, but when I put in my application they automatically sent me to this account. I had no experience in the industry at all, besides cdl school, when I signed on. There’s quite a bit of stuff to learn at the beginning, but you will get it down very fast. -best of luck to you.

[@tyecables8547]

It depends on the area you are in. I'm in Texas on walmart and our terminal requires 6 mos otr prior to being allowed on the account.

[@valhallaholsopple]

@@tyecables8547 which account in Texas? If you don't mind saying?

[@scottbauman2593]

How long does it take to get on a decated Walmart account

[@javoncarla4lyfe876]

Not long about a week

[@eddieramsey8313]

2-3 days then you have to prove that you’re the one for that job

[@nobull772]

Brother, I see you drive a sleeper and on a dedicated route, so can you explain to me your schedule and the schedules of those drivers who drives day cabs but who are also dedicated?

[@javoncarla4lyfe876]

So at swift Walmart dedicated we do slip sitting you don’t keep a truck you share truck with other drivers.we have day cabs and sleeper’s on this account but you still go home Daily

[@javoncarla4lyfe876]

You drive what ever you want to some driver’s like day cabs some drivers like sleepers

[@nobull772]

Sup bro, I don’t know if you noticed but I work with you now😂 How are you dealing with deadheading to winterhaven everyday? Do you know if we even get paid for it? I have noticed a few discrepancies with the loaded and unloaded miles and the order numbers on the mobile Swift Pointe System, so I wonder if something shady is going on. 3 hours a day is 1/4 of hour total hours man, I don’t know what to feel.

[@javoncarla4lyfe876]

Yeah we get pay to deadhead to winter haven

[@kenesttajohnson]

I'm about to start this account with Swift in the next week, a little nervous so I hope it works out for me

[@lotus5570]

Can you have 2 days off a week?

[@javoncarla4lyfe876]

Yeah you can it depends on how you run
