Driver reviews
This is a large Walmart distribution center with numerous docks and plenty of space for maneuvering and docking.<br><br>The unloading process is well organized. Upon arrival, wear your safety vest and closed-toe shoes, then check in at the security gate to receive your dock assignment. After backing into the dock, uncouple your trailer and park your tractor near the main entrance.<br><br>Unloading typically takes 1–3 hours, depending on the time of day. You’ll also be asked whether the yard crew can move your trailer if needed. It’s best to agree, as it can help speed up the process and may prevent you from having to reposition or lower the trailer yourself.<br><br>The staff communicates with you via phone.<br>Overall, the experience is good. Thank you for the staff.
