Don

[@20plustrucking]

@@carlosaguirre1313 thanks I appreciate that! I need to send them back to the uniform company with a note to put my 1.5 million mile patch on because they haven't done it yet.

[@clifforddaniels1317]

whenever I pass a Walmart truck (which is about 15 times a day) I always check to see if it's you

[@20plustrucking]

Right on My truck number is 24-1391

Do you remember what year the mandatory pretrip requirement to twist each lug nut by hand was established?

[@20plustrucking]

@@djohnX5 I really don't know when they made that mandatory. Seems like it's been the last couple of years that I keep hearing that it's mandatory. It may be mandatory but I doubt even half the drivers are actually doing that. Just my guess.

[@robertroderick3888]

another great video

[@20plustrucking]

Thanks I appreciate it.

How are you always so calm? I never see frustration!

[@20plustrucking]

Have you met my wife? I believe she has a different take on that lol In the early days I wasn't calm at all I was very frustrated unfortunately my wife had to hear a lot of that on the phone. After a decade I calmed way down because everything became like second nature when driving a truck.

[@MrFriday83]

Im certain his schedule helps this. Imagine getting 5 days off, or 15 days if you take a week how refreshed you would feel. I've been on the 5/5 a couple times and its refreshing. Also, we work at Walmart what's there to be stressed about?

[@jb3237]

I start onboarding this coming Monday.
How does walmart schedule their appointments for deliveries.
When ever my last employer delivered to a DC, it was normally a set appt. time. If delivering to a store, it was normally a window.

[@20plustrucking]

Right on that's awesome! Appointments at a vendor is pretty lax You kind of get there when you get there. Although there are a few vendors that have a strict time. As far as a DC or a store goes there is a window with an absolute time. Generally we always deliver DC's and stores way earlier than the delivery time.

Do other drivers drive your truck when you are off

[@Kevo1993]

Yep

[@20plustrucking]

Occasionally other drivers drive my truck but since I've had a partner it's the same person every week that drives it. It actually works out quite well if you just share a truck with one other person and get along with them and most importantly communicate well.

[@1fisherman106]

Great video! So do you drive more miles than activity?

[@20plustrucking]

It depends on what I'm doing each week. If I'm running groceries out of McCarran Nevada or Grandview Washington then it lands up being more activity than miles if it's a multiple stop with a backhaul. Although if I'm doing general merchandise then it lands up being more miles than activity. So it just depends on what's happening each week.

[@cwtrucker4963]

Can you show me a copy of how your 5 on 5 off schedule looks

[@20plustrucking]

It's pretty simple it's just work 5 days then get 5 days off. Other than that I just check in with the office to see if I can work random days off throughout the year to make extra money.
