Walmart Journey, Take 2

Now I’m doing training for running doubles into Washington DC. Pretty interesting. Not as hard as I thought it would be. The hardest part for me is getting used to working nights.

I meant to put this photo with my last post.

Congratulations.

Doubles aren't difficult, they just take getting used to. Keeping up with the pups when you're backing is what people usually struggle with.

That and parking, since you can't back but Walmarts network should make that problem non-existent.

Congratulations!

Just remember to watch your turns and how fast you move the steering wheel. Any movement is magnified at the rear and can toss that trailer onto its side.

That’s what is called “amplification “, correct?

Can you give us a rundown on how that works?

Do you drop a trailer before going into DC and then deliver the front first then go back and get the second?

Looking at the WM at 820 1st St you can't get doubles in there so I'm assuming you just get close and then break your set?

Hey, Brandon;

So excited for you,man!

Yeah, that's what Tom said, when he went to FX/LH for a bit, back when....not as hard as he thought, either!

In mirroring the guys above, WE WANNA HEAR MORE!

Best wishes; stay safe! Howdy to the missus, also~!

ps: If only a DC was closer for us . . . the closer one is 'all full up!'

Congrats on this Brandon! Safe travels.

Yep. That’s exactly how we do it. We drop the first trailer at a Walmart in Maryland right before the DC line. The store docks are in the building and very tight, even with a pup. But there are only three stores in DC and one has a regular dock and takes a 53’
