- Walmart culture used to be real strong, with high morale and a great working atmosphere that sets a feeling of pride where you work. I believe it's making a comeback!

Golden handcuffs
The best kind of handcuffs.
I started with Walmart 11 months ago and I love going inside at 6035. There are almost always a few drivers in there talking unless it's super late at night talking with each other about stores and life and everything. It's the same with the warehouse associates too. Management, our GTM, coordinators, shop, and even the yard drivers are cool to talk to. Other DC's I've been to in the region are nice but coming back to Ottawa always feels like coming home so to say.
Right on! I'm sure there's a lot of stories like that out there I'm glad to hear it.
I've gotten a lot of information about Walmart from yourself and other drivers, but unfortunately the seniority over schedules and requesting days off is what's kept me from applying.
Even with low seniority you can still get a great schedule and get most days off your request. Although if you're wanting strictly a Monday through Friday Saturday and Sunday off go home everyday type of situation then yeah I can understand that.
Hi Don from Prescott Arizona I spent 17 years in the stores I retired and as much I could I always talked to the drivers I really enjoy all your videos and always drive safe
I'm sure you got some interesting conversations with all the drivers because being a truck driver we generally have the gift of gab lol I appreciate the comment.
I came from a company that I thought was the best to work for but here at Walmart it's something different. Love it here
Yep same here I worked at a company where I got along well with the owner and his son I was treated pretty good and thought I had it all. Then I came to Walmart and that was my response too. Working here is something different lol
Thank You Don
You're welcome.
Unfortunately I probably won't get to meet you because I'm in region 5 way on the other side of the country. But I enjoy your videos been at wm for about 6 months.
Maybe but I wouldn't rule it out who knows what could happen in the future. Although I don't see myself moving out that way. I appreciate the feedback on the videos saying things like that help me stay inspired to dig for more topics to talk about on the channel. I appreciate it.
Parked my truck and joined Walmart I do my Mentor next week !! Yes it’s different here , been trucking 20 years now ima city driver in Houston have an awesome day Don
Welcome to Walmart! If you have any questions or want to know about anything I'll do my best to help just email me at don@20plustrucking.com
You'll love it. (Maybe not the traffic though lol)
another great video and a positive outlook!!!
Thank you I appreciate that.
I smile with every word you spoke I’m out of ft pierce the Walmart culture is true Walmart is different if u don’t work here then u can’t understand it this is the best job out here forget ups I was off on medical leave for 3 months last year and I still made almost 90000 doing nothing you are never rushed the only thing is that the feed you to much I’m the back up claims driver for south Florida at out Sebastian store I got there and told manager I was hungry he opened up a register at 3am bought me a sandwich and a coke lol I had plenty of money but he said thx for what I do that is walmart
Right on! I appreciate your story It's just more evidence that the culture is not dead but instead alive and well.
I think the whole trucking culture has gone to the wayside ever since COVID hit. A lot of new drivers came in without having the comrade that we used to in the past. Overall etiquette, ethics, etc.
What also has changed drastically is social media and online shopping experience. The whole customer experience with the associates have taken a huge turn especially once self checkouts started hitting stores.
People being social wish would come back.
Yes I agree COVID really accelerated all of that and we've never really came back from it. I don't believe it's completely dead but it definitely needs one hell of a jump start to get going again. I try and do my part by being friendly and talking to people even if I can tell they don't really want to talk lol
I’d definitely be interested in joining Walmart as a truck driver. Unfortunately I only have a little over two years experience. I’ve worked for Walmart previously to working for Prime Inc for 2 years as an assistant manager over GM. I now work for Casey’s driving truck. Nice gig, but completely hands on which I don’t mind. But getting older and I’m making more noises when I lean over. 😂
@@juniortrucker3389 You only need 30 months experience to get on here at Walmart. When you get to that point I would definitely apply.
The problem is you have the younger generation infected by ghettoish which is destroying Society.
Hey Don what’s your email
