    If anybody’s interested. I just confirmed with my general manager today that Hope Mills North Carolina is looking for three more drivers. It’s a great location. We’re approximately two hours from Myrtle Beach. We put on some good miles here. You can use John is a reference.

    I know someone that drives for walmart and he had to get his hazmat , now a year later he still hasn't had a hazmat load and he said others have gone years without having hazmat . Seems they would get more drivers if they got rid of that requirement and paid the ones who haul it more money

    Can you explain how the WM drivers get their time off? How many days on and then what's time of like?
    I work a dedicated route with swift in New Mexico at the Walmart DC, which is ok, but the pay isn't as good as other places.
    I want to apply at Walmart, but I want to make sure I get weekly time off like swift.
    Good job,
    Thanks

      They do but they are already 100% private fleet and have a very low turn over rate. So it's super rare. The job listing may only be up for a few hours if it ever gets listed

      @walmartprofessionaldriver  ปีที่แล้ว

      Some DCs have more trucks than drivers but they won't tell you that Intel until your already hired. Worst case 1 to 2 years slip seating then your own truck. I hear you. I sanitized every truck I was in like crazy
