- Sliding your tandems to adjust your weight should be a simple and easy task. If you know what direction you need to move them it should only be a matter of minutes before you have it set to where it needs to be.
Hi! I'm Jessica & I work for the West Transportation Command Center in Bentonville. I wanted to say thank you so much for your videos. I've currently just shown this one regarding Tandems to our newest Customer Service Coordinators. Keep on Truckin' & Stay Safe!
@@jessicaw.222 Hi Jessica glad you're watching I hope the new customer service associates get a sense for what it's like to be a private fleet Walmart driver. As we've always said I'm just out here living the dream. Well that's not just a statement I believe it to be true. God has been good to me and so has Walmart.
If the trailer has a few miles on it the groove will be to worn to hold the rod. The cure - Vice Grips. I snap a pair of vice grips on the pin when it is pulled.
Yep I've seen them like that before too but only a couple times.
Glad I found your channel. I quir walmart 7 years ago as an Auto technician to join the Army since I got out I've been driving 8 axle heavy haul flatbed and chemical tankers for 20 months now. Soon as I get the 30 months I'm applying for Walmart again but as a driver this time. Love all the info
Yes I would definitely get in on this before they stop hiring Nationwide like they are. If you use me as a reference where it asks you on the application if you know someone that works at Walmart then you will get a call back much faster when you put your application in. My info is: Donald Smith employee number 14609 location Red Bluff California DC 6826
@20plustrucking will do! I see they don't have very many positions for my state of WA but I do occasionally see them just not very often
@@20plustrucking I wish they'd had that associate to driver program when I got my CDL 2 years ago or even better when I actually worked there almost 7 years ago lol
@@aryanrisner no doubt that would have been a sweet deal.
@@aryanrisner there's only two DC's in Washington state. One is Centralia Washington and the other one is Grandview Washington. You can live in Washington and work out of Hermiston Oregon but you can't be more than 250 mi away.
Always wanted someone to explain how and where the weight shifts. Thanks.
You're welcome
Fuel is 8lbs a gallon
Pretty sure it's 7 lb a gallon. Back in the day when I used to haul milk I had to calculate fuel a lot and this was supposedly what it was. As far as milk goes it was much heavier it was 8.6 lbs per gallon.
Also slightly depends on the temperature.. A gallon of diesel at 16F, for example, weighs 7.1 pounds; that same gallon at 106F weighs 6.8 pounds.
@@ZERO-GRID yep that makes sense but as long as I know it's in a hundred pounds or less it definitely serves It's purpose to know how much fuel I have on.
It's 7lbs your right buddy
Can you show me how to do that on my spread axle flatbed?🤣
No but you could do it and upload it to TH-cam. I'll refer people over to your video for that kind of thing.
@@20plustruckinga loves employee in Arkansas told me to move my spreads because I was overweight. I told her I’ll grab my lawn chair and she can figure out how to move them.😂
@mathewrobbins5410 yeah that would be quite a trick to witness lol
