I call my DC or the Rock before I arrive where I’m sent (I will not call if I am already dispatched) and ask to be dispatched because I will be arriving soon. Doing that helps me keep rolling. I dislike sitting and waiting to be dispatched. All of Rich’s ideas work as well. You make driving at Walmart the way that you want. The tricks he talked about are so worth it. $$$$
I’m 100% with you about working when I’m not at home. I know a few drivers that shut down early and then take an 11-12 hour break. If I’m not going home, I’m working until I can’t, then I’m starting again in 10 hours and 1 second!
I watch alot of WMT videos same old same old. Videos are boring as hell. This video has to be the best quality best informative tellin us how to make that extra money the quality the picture changes every the camera idk what you were using didn’t even shake around. Very good video and it kept me watching. Thanks and be safe out there. I think I’m gonna have 23 days or more to cash in I’m at like 23 now but I may have 31 or so by Walmarts year and I only have 11 mos on the job. Be safe and thanks. New subscriber coming.
@@carlosfuentes2485for Walmart you need like almost 3 years experience or need to be a store employee for a year before doing their driving academy training.
@@carlosfuentes2485no, you have to have 30 months experience CDL driving experience but most states have a grant program that will pay for your CDL school and the mega carriers have their own schools and they’ll train you if you agree to be their indentured servant 😂
Also, Making sure you hit arrived as soon as you are in the geo fence especially while you are at the dc’s and doing groceries. Getting that unscheduled time can help rather its 1/2 a hour or a hour, that can add up.
I see a lot of bashing of Walmart online. Want to make great money.. Walmart! Want to have a family life.. Walmart! Want to get treated with respect.. Walmart! What's the catch? There really isn't any.. They want safe drivers transporting their freight from the yard to the store. They don't want you to take shortcuts and they will never ask you to.. That's not a bad thing.
What’s going on Rich, I love the channel I’m learning a lot. I have about one month left before I can apply at Walmart, this job will change my wife and I’s life if I can get on. Any tips or advice for application process? Much love brother
@@wanghaf_Gl0yper I hear you. It definitely changed my life. The biggest tip I can offer is to be prepared and confident. Though the hiring process may seem daunting, over 14,000 other people have done it before you. Surely you're better than some of them, right? Keep your license and safety record clean. Have your info ready (employment history with dates, accident record, if any, and all other pertinent application stuff). Lastly, during the phone interview be sure to show confidence, competence, willingness to learn, and a focus on safety.
Thanks for all the info in your videos! I wondered if the 95-110k a year range that they say all the first year drivers get, is with all the extra 6th day and holiday pay included or if the extra work would go above the 110k? Thanks for your time.
@@figifister That will of course depend on things like location and schedule, etc. The $110k is just an average. Some will make more, some less. If you're a hard runner and go getter working extra shifts, you'll easily top that 110k. And that's just the first year. Year 2 & 3 will bump up quite a bit due to your ADP (average daily pay) taking at least a year to mature.
@@johnbalukonis9157 I was shocked when I first heard about it. I never thought Walmart would begin training new drivers. I've heard that the A2D drivers, having successfully completed the program, are turning out to be very safe drivers, proving the program is working. Time will tell if it stays that way. I'm all for it unless they start hitting things, bringing our reputation for safety down.
i have a question if anyone can answer it for me i got my license about a year ago and i went local to start have about a years exp local no accidents no tickets knock on wood its a battle everyday someone wants to die but anyway i was telling an older driver i wanted to eventually try and work for walmart cause they pay very well and said most otr companies doesnt really except local exp is this the case for walmart does anyone know ?
@@jblue8436 yes they accept local driving experience, as long as it is in a tractor/trailer. One of the drivers I mentored at Walmart came from a local day-cab job.
@@mac11daddy6 most dispatches come from the regional operation center that controls all dispatches within any region, and most are forced dispatch based on driver location and availability. There are a few bid runs that come with seniority.
WHAT IS PAY PER MILE???? I've looked and searched for hours on end and there's no clear answer. From what i gathered its anywhere from $0.55-$0.89/ mile and that is such a huge gap and doesn't make sense. Can you please tell me what the pay per mile is before I lose my mind trying to find an answer?
@@JesusSaves02 the reason it's hard to answer is because it changes for multiple reasons. 1- New Walmart drivers start out at a lower pay rate. It takes a couple years to work up to the max rate. 2- I believe they are still doing the "geographic based" pay. Meaning you get paid a little different depending on where in the country you live. For example, drivers delivering to the Northeast, and those delivering to the LA/SoCal area get paid a little more due to the high congestion. 3- drivers working a full Saturday and Sunday get paid 7 cpm more for those two days. So that's why it's hard to get a definite answer on a CPM. It varies. Also you can't only focus on the cpm, because that only makes up about 1/2 to 2/3 of my overall pay. Activity pay makes up the rest (stops, drops, hooks, etc) But if it helps, my current CPM is 64.5 and I don't get the weekend bonus.
In my region starting pay is .58 plus a fraction of a penny. (I think it’s .58125 or something close) But, if you do overnights it’s an extra 7 cents, and the weekend is another 7 cents. But again, miles are just a part of the overall pay package.
I have 3 years out of Sacramento DC, what I learn is that if you work hard at Walmart you don’t make as much as when you are lazy, if I have 3hrs to drive but I already did 400 miles for the day I’m shutting down. My Average day pay is $415 doing this, no lie.
