I start Onboarding sept. 27th. I’ve talked to so many Walmart drivers and they all seem to be happier than most drivers. My buddy has been their a year with over 23 years of driving and has never been this happy. Great videos
Glad it worked out for you but WMT was not for me at the end of orientation. A year and half later I personally made the right choice. To each he's own. Good luck 🙏
Thanks for the video. I'll be going to Searcy, AR for my orientation August 16th. One of my friends and former co-worker works in Sealy, TX and that's where I'll be headed if I pass. He was a former Owner Operator, and he absolutely loves the job.
Carlos - good luck during on-boarding. I'm sure your friend already gave you the 411 on the on-boarding. Practice your pre-trip and backing. Remember G.O.A.L. Get Out And Look. Good luck.
Since I am still new to Walmart I am on a program as mentioned in video. I have a set schedule but the days off rotate if that makes sense. This is my Monday (Wednesday 7/21). I had off Monday & Tuesday. I'll work 5 days and the take of Mon - Wed. Reporting back to work on Thursday. The following week, I'll be off Tuesday and Wednesday
@@kentwilbourne996 It's depends, I know spouses are allowed, children are allowed. Just have to complete a form. What relation is the adult family member?
@@heleodorobautista9953 Yes...on that type of schedule, you'll get weekends off after you rotate through days off. That usually occurs every 3 1/2 months. And you'll have weekends off for about a month
@@Bishop.Tony00 I originally started this channel to get more info out there about Walmart. Not to get referrals. When I started, there wasn't much out there to get info.
My dad retired from Walmart. He loved it in the beginning and towards the end not so much. But he did start in the 80’s and was out of Bentonville for a long time and retired out of St. James.
Everyone experiences different things. I've heard from other drivers that have been here a long time, that it was better back in the day then it is now. When you're pampered a lot and they start taking away some perks it sucks. However, compared to other companies in today's industry, Walmart takes care of the drivers. In my opinion!!
I guess you never stayed in hotels. If you have, do ya think they put new mattresses in after every guest???? Try after 5 years and several thousand guests
@Right Lane Truckin Sacramento CA I am wanting to drive for Wal-Mart. I am originally from Sacramento but now live in Fresno Ca. But I will relocate if need be.
I’ve been enjoying your videos for the last month and I have a chance to go to on boarding in two weeks. The differences this will be for a local driver position in Shelby North Carolina and I cannot find much information on the Internet on local driving positions for Walmart. I am currently working Monday through Friday at $30 an hour with medical dental and vision but not much other benefits. Can you tell me more about the local driver position or do you think it would be worth a switch?
We have local jobs as well. From my understanding, the only difference is that you go home nightly and do not get the layover pay. Aside from that, they make the same.
I’m scheduled to goto Grantsville for onboarding next week. Still concerned about it. Does the trucks happen to have fridges and CarPlay for media? (I listen to Spotify and Sirius and don’t want to get dinged, my last company suspended a driver for changing podcasts)
Thats the one thing that will stop me from applying. Slip seating sucks....I slipped seat a truck and the guy had brought in Roaches and he was a freaking slob so i left that job,
Good thing that isn't the case with the 2 other drivers I share with. We all clean the tractors and respect each other. Plenty of cleaning supplies and antibacterial wipes.
Good morning. I’m from fontana and I want to apply but I went to “drive4Walmart” and only saw postings for yard and city drivers. Is there a way to apply for shuttle drivers if there is no posting
A lot of us have early starts, so mostly daytime driving. Some locations do have later start times which means overnight driving. It really depends upon location
Im currently going through my background check. I hope to hear good news soon. Do you know if the sac yord is really needing drivers or are the just building a go to list?
I just got hired on with Walmart. My onboard is scheduled for 4-11-22 in Searcy AR. I've been with my job for 15 years (Railroad) and I'm nervous for the transition. Any advice?
My advise would be to Relax! They want you to pass. As far as prep work, how's your pre-trip knowledge and routine. GOTTA have a routine. How's your backing? They will test it!!! Use GOAL and perform that FULL 360. More then one if necessary! Driving, just as you did when getting your CDL. Extra cautious. Don't make any stupid moves.
Fuck that slip-seeding shit! I get that you're cleaning your truck. But when I sleep in my truck I make it my home. I'm not sharing a mattress with other people and I like having my stuff kept in my truck so everything is in there ready for me after I get back from the weekend.
Unfortunately Walmart does not hire drivers with less than 30 months and at this time, I'm not aware of any exceptions. That being said, Walmart works with various carriers that pull Walmart loads on a dedicated basis. Swift, Western Express and CR England are a few.
I'm scheduled to be in orientation next Monday in Red Bluff California. I was Hired for the Apple Valley DC. Question: do the trucks have a refrigerator and inverter?
@Jeff - yes, each tractor has a refrigerator and inverter. No microwave though. It has a space for one. Since I'm on a 5/2 - 5/3 schedule and share 2 tractors with 2 other drivers, I got with them and went 3 ways on 2 microwaves. One for each tractor.
@@rightlanetruckinsacramento1039 awesome. Thank you. The slip seating won't bother me. We only sleep in the trucks 4 nights. It's not like we need to carry a lot of stuff. I hope I pass the onboarding event.
Do you drive the same truck all the time? I hear that you slip seat. With slip seating a lot of stuff gets over looked and the truck aren't 100%. I would dislike having to fix problems Everytime you start your day. I wonder if covid if they change that idea and assigned trucks to people.
@Carl FF - I share 2 tractors with 2 other drivers. 1 full week in the 1st, 1 full week in the second, then back to the 1st. As far as stuff getting overlooked, that is what YOUR pre-trip is for. As for PMI's, when it is coming due, mgt takes it out of service and assigns spare for the week. Haven't had any issues with this process, except for a microwave in spare. Solved that by purchasing one I can install if assigned spare
@@rightlanetruckinsacramento1039 That doesn't sound as bad as people make it out to be. I'm pretty good with pretrips but still rather drive one truck. Driving for Kroger is pretty fun. Easy money and only 3 nights in the truck.
@@flyingtrucker552 it will really depend upon the DC you're working out of. I know some newer drivers are being assigned tractors from day 1. Others on a program like myself. From what I understand, Walmart is working toward tractors for each driver. Just not there yet.
Hey Alex - thanks for your comment. Not sure where you're driving for now, but I'm glad I chose Walmart. Are you OTR or local? If you're OTR - how much home time do you get? Is it enough for you
Hello, my girlfriend and i are at schneider and have 2 months exp so far. we are looking to move on to something else and are looking at wal mart. i have a few questions if you dont mind. 1. Do they allow a pet for teams? 2. is it still slip seat for teams? 3. Do they micromanage you?
As for teams-you'll have to talk to a recruiter for that answer, I've heard some locations have started using teams. My location in Sacramento does not have teams.
@@rightlanetruckinsacramento1039 i know a walmart driver that got fired for this is grove city he rear ended a car and they couldnt see what he was doing ans they knew the camera worked
If you're applying for Sacramento DC for Walmart, only option is Automatic. Even though I know how (frankly pretty good) to shift gears, since I was hired for Sacramento, I was only allowed to do my on-boarding in an automatic.
The backing is challenging but doable. Not knowing your experience, but mine was mostly day cab and I was able to get it with the sleeper tractor. As far as auto only, it really depends on what DC you're going. My location is all automatics and I was not allowed to drive a manual during on-boarding because of it.
@@sweetness2689 the phone interview is a piece of cake 🎂 they just want to know how much experience you have and if you have any issues wearing a uniform, slip seating (sharing tractor with 2 other drivers), depending upon where you are, chaining experience. Don't be nervous.
@@crosscountry9132he's actually not lying. I was Union for a ready mix company and I did $100,000-$140,000 as a driver. That batch men were doing $130,000-$180,000
My plan is too buy a new one next year. Hopefully supply will be met and it can buy one for MSRP. Thanks for your videos its helped making my decision easier! Keep on posting.
@@thehippeswereright Right!! I saw a red one, brand new, not sure how long he waited for it. I plan on documenting my first year and we'll see where this goes from there. I just know there wasn't much out here when I was considering Walmart so I decided to do this.
@Jose - thanks for question, not always. I prefer to take my 10 hr reset at a store or at DC, but that doesn't always happen. For example, tonight I'm at a rest area on SR299 on my way to Eureka. We choose where we want to layover. I avoid truck stops for the most part.
@@rightlanetruckinsacramento1039 Yes sir, I am very interested. Thanks for your videos. And yes, no matter where you or I work, there's always some BS. IMO... Looks to me there are more pros than cons.
Ron - at this time I'm still on a program. Which means I share 2 trucks with 2 other drivers. 1 week I'm in one truck, next week I'm in the other. So, long answer. I have 2 dedicated trucks and switch weekly
All of the tractors at my location are automatics. However, that depends on location. If you're considering Walmart, my Driver # 40346. It will help your application if you enter as reference.
Kevin - you watched a older video. Yes, we were always allowed to use a hands free method to talk on phone while driving. Old phone policy was, "While on Drive Line" - we couldn't talk more then 60 mins a day and no single call could last over 10 mins at a time. THAT POLICY has since been changed. We now have unlimited hands free talk time now, unless in school zones, construction zones or at times of extremely high traffic. Obviously those are times that you need to pay closer attention to your driving conditions. Hope that answers your question.
If you're referring to on-boarding-that is done in Red Bluff, CA for 1 week Orientation is handled at the DC you applied for on your application. If you are applying for Sacramento, it will be Sacramento
Thats great to know. I will have being driving for 11 years this December and a few days ago I actually applied for a regional position at Walmart. I can tell that it's a good I guess my only concern is the time away from home. Since you're out 5 days at a time are there ever times when you get to go home 3 day into your 5 days out or are you literally out for 5 straight day ? I
@@rapp-relevant-333 it really depends on location. So drivers make it back to DC at end of shift and can take 10 hr break at home. For me, it's not worth it because I drive just over 1 hr each direction. That would be 2 hours off my 10 and I'd basically be coming home to sleep
You'll have to forgive me, I'm not familiar with that term. If you mean slip seating, it's considered that by Walmart. Currently I'm on a program schedule where as I share 2 dedicated tractors with 2 other drivers. 1 week (all 5 days) I'm in tractor #1, the next week I'm in tractor #2. Then rotate back to tractor #1 to continue pattern.
If you're asking if we team up and switch seats after our 11 hrs of driving thus the seat is always hot and unit is moving, No. We are single drivers. We also don't switch tractors multiple times a day or evert day.
@@rightlanetruckinsacramento1039 i never answer this question and if i do i always lie to make them not apply because what kind of question is this at some point your going to get caught

Hello, my girlfriend and i are at schneider and have 2 months exp so far. we are looking to move on to something else and are looking at wal mart. i have a few questions if you dont mind.
1. Do they allow a pet for teams?
2. is it still slip seat for teams?
3. Do they micromanage you?
3. I have never felt micromanaged during my first year
1. Walmart does not have a pet policy that would allow you to have one.
2. Some positions are considered slip seating.
As for teams-you'll have to talk to a recruiter for that answer, I've heard some locations have started using teams. My location in Sacramento does not have teams.
One last thing, every driver must meet the 30 months experience prior to applying
Do they have driver facing cameras
The device has cameras on both sides but the front facing is the only one active. Most drivers put tape over inward facing camera just in case. Lol

I’m from Sac been driving for 4 years do they have a option for automatic during onboarding?
If you're applying for Sacramento DC for Walmart, only option is Automatic. Even though I know how (frankly pretty good) to shift gears, since I was hired for Sacramento, I was only allowed to do my on-boarding in an automatic.
If you're hired for a DC that has a mix of manuals and automatics, you'll drive manuals during on-boarding.

The backing is challenging but doable. Not knowing your experience, but mine was mostly day cab and I was able to get it with the sleeper tractor.

where do you go for orientation? from sacramento
Are you asking about On-boarding? Or Orientation? Because they are two different things
If you're referring to on-boarding-that is done in Red Bluff, CA for 1 week
Orientation is handled at the DC you applied for on your application. If you are applying for Sacramento, it will be Sacramento
You don’t need to go to Arkansas? Thank you
Is McClellan hiring now?
@@pasha9725 no traveling to Arkansas lol thumbs 👍
How's it going now at Walmart ?
For me, it's going very well
Take a look at my TikTok under the same name
Thats great to know.
I will have being driving for 11 years this December and a few days ago I actually applied for a regional position at Walmart. I can tell that it's a good
I guess my only concern is the time away from home.
Since you're out 5 days at a time are there ever times when you get to go home 3 day into your 5 days out or are you literally out for 5 straight day ?
I
@@rapp-relevant-333 it really depends on location. So drivers make it back to DC at end of shift and can take 10 hr break at home. For me, it's not worth it because I drive just over 1 hr each direction. That would be 2 hours off my 10 and I'd basically be coming home to sleep

Ok
And how about the uniform. When are they issued and how many per driver ?
Do you hot seat trucks
You'll have to forgive me, I'm not familiar with that term. If you mean slip seating, it's considered that by Walmart. Currently I'm on a program schedule where as I share 2 dedicated tractors with 2 other drivers. 1 week (all 5 days) I'm in tractor #1, the next week I'm in tractor #2. Then rotate back to tractor #1 to continue pattern.
If you're asking if we team up and switch seats after our 11 hrs of driving thus the seat is always hot and unit is moving, No. We are single drivers. We also don't switch tractors multiple times a day or evert day.
Do they do hair test?
I won't even ask why you're asking. No. It was urine
@@rightlanetruckinsacramento1039 i never answer this question and if i do i always lie to make them not apply because what kind of question is this at some point your going to get caught
