Wal-Mart just built a distribution center near me, they have 385 bays and use thier own trucks. I went in there last week and got thier rock chip business. Just want to know if anyone here has ever dealt with them and if so what kind of experance did you have.

I called them and got the name of the manager for truck maintenance. Then called him, set up an appointment, gave them my pricing and that was it. All they require is a w-9 form and they pay on a net 30 cycle.

On an account like this, will you be showing up daily, weekly or do they just call you when they have a chip.

I intend to go by every morning since they are only 10 miles from my house. Would rather look over the trucks myself because a trained eye makes more money. You also have all the independent truck drivers there every day, I'm sure they will need repairs too.

Congrats CPR- :D :D :D Sounds like the ultimate fleet account, besides the walmart trucks you should get to know quite a few mechanics and drivers who may refer other work to you 8) Best of Luck, Bob
