Is the pay ever week or every 2 weeks?

As a yard driver if I work 6 days a week. Walmart won’t let you work 7 days a week where I’m at. At 24.35 an hour, 65 hours a week I average around $1,200-$1,350 a week with a full two week check being at most $2,800. Been here for a year. My question is how many hours do you work in a week? If I missed that in the video sorry. Thanks. And might I add you don’t need a CDL for what I do for anyone reading this comment that’s not familiar with Walmarts yard driving positions where I’m at

Typically it is 30 minutes for a state brake that Walmart does pay you for. It’s all different in different States. I’m on a 6/3. 5 nights in the the truck and the bonus is 210. Like John, I typically try to make miles on my go home day although, in most cases, I don’t make much on my day to head home. That is a drop in the bucket to me because I’m making a killing by working here. Last year, I made 15000 more than my last job I had. Wish I made a move to work here many years ago.

I was wondering if they tax the $42 for sleeping in the truck?

I would love to have the choice to live in a truck, reduce costs (no apartment rent) and save tons of money for buying a home. I think living in a truck would require me to buy a truck.

And you are under contract not independent contractor a lease from a dealership for a semi might not be terrible if you have the option to buy and the right to sell that option.

Technically it's split because by law if you're sleeping in the truck and away from home they have to pay you. So I got half of that for all the miles I drove and for all the miles he drove. So basically I got .61cpm for every mile I drove and 0 when I was sleeping. Same difference
