WalMart - Ohhhh, the liability of it all.

With or without the DOT placard?

What DOT placard?

What DOT placard?

The magnetic one that we are supposed to put on our cars when we use them to run off misloads on the way home.

I think Wal-Mart can take care of them.
I know I've delivered thousands of packages out of my personal vehicle.

Probably more like hundreds.

You actually got a magnetic placard just for on your way home?

Every now and then they would print out a DOT/PUC number if a bunch of us were running late air. We were supposed to tape it in a window, but mostly we tossed them out.

Yuppers.

I remember delivering over a hundred out of my truck (which has a bed cover) in one day.
I'll stick with thousands without a doubt.

Big Corporation and Big Government games.

Without most times ...
with some times.

Unless I was in a center job, I did not bother getting DOT physical.
More flexibility for me ...
"Sorry but I can't take a PC out ... I don't have a DOT card. I can run air in my truck though."

So it's OK for management to violate/ignore DOT mandates?

Double Standards!

 

[oldngray]

Double Standards!

better to have double standards than no standards at all?

If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all.

Just leave the DIAD in a letter box on the route so the PM air driver can get it and head home...

I can see lots of potential for issues. DWI (Delivering While Impaired), dog bites for people delivering who have no clue, strange guy in a strange car walking up the driveway in the dark, what could go wrong? Disgruntled employees sell their highly prized blue polo shirts to Isis "eets okeh! I'm weeth Wolmort! I bring you new covfefe!"

Wait, you have some covfefe?

 

[Indecisi0n]

Can they deliver out of the bus they take home ?

 

[Over 70]

Wal-Mart would have to be on the hook somehow for all of it since they are employees not independent contractors I would think?

It's a good point about DOT numbers though...

That backfired on them during the strike of 97. The cops were on our side and was checking personal vehicles for packages.

If they got a good arm ... Yes.
