Passed on board last week. Now in orientation, thanks for the videos
Right on that's cool! Hopefully I'll get a chance to meet you.
10 more months ill be hopefully applying to walmart if a position is available. I been doing chemical tankers for a while so I understand more than most that you will have problems here and there no matter where you work so even if they happened more frequently there id still be flexible lol. My biggest concern is all the associates taking all the driver spots by the time i get these 10 more months i need to apply
I don't think you have to worry about that. I don't believe there's enough associates doing it to fill all the positions.
Meanwhile, the drivers that are only telling everyone about the good parts of being a Walmart driver are getting that referral money.😮
@@JA-yg7nc lol In 2 years I've only gotten three referrals yet I answer all the comments and respond to all the emails everyday. Like I say I'm here to help I don't care if I get the referral or not it's just an extra. As the drivers meet me in the DC which I've met a lot of them they learn right away I'm just a down-to-earth person that likes to help others. I complain about stuff I don't like also but I try not to dwell on it it doesn't help.
Why doesn’t none of the drivers take advantage of the FREE education and get a degree, they offer so many good bachelors degrees with awesome universities.
I suppose a lot of them may not know about it but then again they decided to drive a truck for their career so maybe college isn't their thing.
I want but I don’t have the 2 years on cdl yet as soon I have it I will applie there
Hang in there you'll be here before you know it.
I think the current Wal-Mart associates are filling up the trucking positions fast.
I'm not sure how many of them are finishing the program and starting work. I have met a couple of them out of my DC so far.
I applied for the associate to driver program. The DC I applied for only had 1 position open. I was told that they would keep my application open just incase the person they did choose didn't make it through some of the screening processes. Was also told that I should defiantly apply in the next quarter.
After 45 minuts start cloks 15 hours but in 1 hours we make 60 mile 30 $
Yep that's true but at the end of the year if I make a wage I'm looking for I'm good with that. It's definitely better than the old days waiting around for five and six hours every time I go to a vendor.
Do Walmart trucks have cameras facing drivers?
No they do not. They only have cameras that face the road and they only come on if there's a hard breaking event or an accident.
How many years have you been driving for Walmart?
Almost 17 years now.
I’ve been driving for 25 years 3 million miles extra clean dmv
Right on! That's excellent. I've been driving for over 22 years and have about 2.5 million miles that are accident and ticket free.
Noticed that there are a lot fewer positions available on Walmart website….are they filling with new trainee’s from the ATD program?🤔
There was a huge push to get as many people hired as quickly as possible. Also a lot more people are finishing the associate to driver program.
wait, i looked at the application and it says that if a driver has any preventable accidents while operating a truck cannot be considered for hiring?---> "Have you had any preventable accidents while operating a commercial motor vehicle in the last three (3) years?"
I believe they are saying exactly what it says. If you've had any preventable accidents in the last 3 years. I suppose they won't consider you if that's the case. I've never had any accidents or tickets in 22 years so I never really had to think about that when I was getting hired.
the problem with this is that wording is left up to intepretation of said company. back in 2005 i was in new orleans right after hurricane katrina i scraped paint off the back of my mirror when i was backing off the street into a mobile dock. needless to say there was debris and trees everywhere. being a company driver for cfi i had to report it and they put it on my dac as an accident? Fair? i didnt think so. it kept me from leaving and going to crete carrier which had a similiar policy as walmart. with more then 20 years driving ive had to learn that sometimes life happens@@20plustrucking
Sometimes life happens is what I try to tell myself at least once a week. I guess it’s just me trying to prepare for one of those situations that’s unfair, but happens unfortunately.
What does onboarding pay for those 5 days
@@clarenceanderson9959 as of now I believe it is $24 an hour.
I've applied for the associate to driver program twice at the DC I work for but they won't interview me, I am almost 23 yrs old maybe they don't want a young dude driving their trucks
No I think it has to do with seniority. They're picking people that have the most seniority is the way I understand it.
Good Ol 6909
I remember back in the day having more hassle with all the mud there in the winter. You would have to have the yard dogs pull you out of the mud just to drop your trailer. Now it's all fancy and paved everywhere lol
6909 is a shit show nowadays I know because I’m a new Walmart driver that’s always there, but also I use to be a yard dog there at 6909. I got hookups for MT’s at least 😂
@@LosNativos743 Hook me up lol
@@20plustrucking 🤣🤣🤣
@@LosNativos743 hook me up too lol
Hey sir what's the top pay rate and after how long to to top rate thanks
Honestly I really don't know I know I'm at the top pay rate but I don't know all the details compared to new drivers. I know I get 64 cents a mile but as far as the activity and how many PTO days I get I don't know for sure. Seems like it only took like 5 years to get to the top pay rate but I could be wrong on that.
👍✌💪
Hello, how many passengers does Walmart allow to ride with you at a time?? Could I bring my wife and son?? Thank you
You can bring them but unfortunately only one of them at a time.
Getting the call to from the recruiter tomorrow. Got any advice?🤙🏻
Yes I do. Make sure you write everything down that they tell you so there's no misunderstandings. And if you're not sure about something even a little make sure you ask them and have them explain it until you do understand. I've heard of a lot of stories where there was miscommunication and that's a bad way to start off even if it's not your fault.
@@20plustrucking thank you don!!
Too bad referrals can't be used for the Associate to Driver program.
No doubt I agree lol
Trucking is a dying industry unfortunately these jobs will not exist in the future so not a good field to go into since you won’t retire from it
Yeah that whole autonomous truck thing is going to be a while. Companies don't like to spend money even if it will save them money in the future. I'm sure that anybody getting into the industry now will be able to have a full career from beginning to end if they get a good job like this one.
Autonomous is a dream by a guy behind a desk. Look at the two nuclear verdicts that Werner had to pay out. Both drivers were not at fault or ticketed. Still paid millions. Someone with a cell phone slams into a autonomous truck with it not being the trucks fault will probably be a nuclear verdict times two or three. Will possibly put companies out of business. Autonomous will only work if everyone is autonomous including cars. Far, far, away.
Where you out off
Red Bluff California
How much do u make a week gross what’s ur take home
Average gross weekly pay is about $2,200. That's not counting the quarterly safety bonus. As far as take home goes that depends on the driver like how many dependents you have and what level of insurance you pay for and whether you have a 401k contribution or buying stock.
