Can you do a video on other benefits that Walmart employees get.Like discounts on cellular,gas,products and purchase memberships.Sams club membership discount,hotels and travel discounts.Anything y’all get on top of the regular stuff everyone gets
As a yard driver if I work 6 days a week. Walmart won’t let you work 7 days a week where I’m at. At 24.35 an hour, 65 hours a week I average around $1,200-$1,350 a week with a full two week check being at most $2,800. Been here for a year. My question is how many hours do you work in a week? If I missed that in the video sorry. Thanks. And might I add you don’t need a CDL for what I do for anyone reading this comment that’s not familiar with Walmarts yard driving positions where I’m at
Drive for same firm in UK interesting to see how different it is. 2 - 3 stores per 10 - 12 hour shift 42.5 hour standard week and home every night. Trailers loaded but you tip and reload at store - mostly double deck trailers. $35k USD on standard hours. Interesting videos.
What’s your sleep schedule like? Will they let a driver keep the same sleep schedule? I’m a night sleeper. I’m afraid they won’t let me run my clock from morning to evening.
That's how my checks are too. You on the 5 2 5 3 schedule. I try for 500 too 600 miles a day but sometimes I get grocery loads and that kills the miles
I would drive for them but I don't truck jumping you go home for a 34hr restart you gotta empty out your truck? Nah I'm good! Good video recruiting was very nice!
Depends on your DC. My buddy in Grantsville UT got his own truck 1st day. I wasn't offered my own truck till 1 year. Now I have the schedule I want and the truck. And boat loads of PTO
@restless7528 so just like they want to be open to the idea of working weekends they may even tell you you will be slip seating each week but until you are done with the hiring process you won't know for sure. If I had to guess that DC I would expect first year a different truck every week
Typically it is 30 minutes for a state brake that Walmart does pay you for. It’s all different in different States. I’m on a 6/3. 5 nights in the the truck and the bonus is 210. Like John, I typically try to make miles on my go home day although, in most cases, I don’t make much on my day to head home. That is a drop in the bucket to me because I’m making a killing by working here. Last year, I made 15000 more than my last job I had. Wish I made a move to work here many years ago.
I've been here 15 and 1/2 years and I just checked my paycheck for million dollar life insurance and I'm paying $79.17 every 2 weeks. So how is it your only paying $10 for the million dollar life insurance? Either you're underpaying or I'm way over paying.
@@Gary-pogi if that's the case then 50 years old didn't pay off here at all LOL I'll probably get a hold of HR on Monday to get the actual answer on this to be sure
Technically it's split because by law if you're sleeping in the truck and away from home they have to pay you. So I got half of that for all the miles I drove and for all the miles he drove. So basically I got .61cpm for every mile I drove and 0 when I was sleeping. Same difference
@@walmartprofessionaldriver that seems low for a FedEx contractor. All the ones in NY are paying 70-80cpm. Isn’t the cost of living in California pretty high, same as NY?
Does Walmart help pay for driving school to get a license? I'm in CA. Do you drive your own truck? Do you drive a truck issued to you from Walmart? Do you own your own truck, leasing, or renting? Do you take your truck home with you on days off? 2.5 years of experience needed, i guess they don't help with driving school.
@@walmartprofessionaldriver What does "Never lease from a carrier" mean? I guess you are using Walmart owned trucks. right? So, the only costs are the gas/fuel for those trucks? I would have a problem if the Walmart trucks were cheap, and offered less comfort then driver owned trucks OTR. Do you drive the same truck for years? Do you share your truck with other people? Is your truck provide comparable comforts to other driver owned OTR trucks (for example: air conditioning unit when engine is turned off, APU i think it's called.)
@@charliechuckleberry5307 Walmart trucks are top of the line most drivers have their own truck some share. Never lease from a carrier because they are terrible seals for the operator if you want your own truck get it from a dealer not a mega carrier. They are in it to screw you. Ask around, this is common knowledge amongst truckers
@@walmartprofessionaldriver I would never "lease" a car. It never made sense to me, unless you had no choice. I believe people "lease" trucks because they don't have the "choice" to buy one from a dealership. However, I do know wealthy people that lease cars/trucks; and they make me cringe. I would love to have the choice to live in a truck, reduce costs (no apartment rent) and save tons of money for buying a home. I think living in a truck would require me to buy a truck. That is why I'm curious about it.
@@charliechuckleberry5307 no its different. In fact California just made it illegal. Companies were giving drivers big money runs saying look you can afford this. Then after the lease is signed they give you crap runs and save the money runs to hook more drivers. Ol bait and switch. And you are under contract not independent contractor a lease from a dealership for a semi might not be terrible if you have the option to buy and the right to sell that option.
I talked about it in my old videos. But net 2 week check was 2750 for first few months. Most drivers I talk to make 400 a day by 6 months. Took me a year
Yea Sam Walden knew what he was doing that why walmart is the top dog. Eventually walmart will buy out swift all the other trucking company's. Haha unless your the lead dog. The view is always the same. That why walmart almost made a trillion dollars last year and aldis made barely a billion.
@yungpesso_ it's crazy how much PTO we get. I rolled over 8 days from last year plus I get another 27 days this year. Only been here 2 years. And they want you to use it. It's not hard to take time off.
I noticed layover pay 3 and 4 nights for one pay period you showed. How does that work. Are you deliver to store near your home? Not working a full 6 day pay period or what?
I'm sure your a nice guy, how can anyone drive for wackimart when they have welfare programs and sell china this and china that? Hey wackimart,,,, what the percent of American made items you sell ????

John, appreciate your transparency. Thank You
You deserve every penny for driving where you drive!
Agreed. I finally feel properly compensated. Every other job is under paid.

I do about 65 hours a week
Is that after taxes or before taxes?
@@gms144tv7 after taxes
do you get time and a half over 40? I'm curious.
Thanks a million

well this US not UK it won't help us if we are looking for a job right here at home and start to fetch what UK pay.
Wow Nice salary....Like said I got my offer just wating to set up onboarding
How long it take u to get a offer
What’s your sleep schedule like? Will they let a driver keep the same sleep schedule? I’m a night sleeper. I’m afraid they won’t let me run my clock from morning to evening.
At Walmart you’re the captain of the ship. You drive how you want. I start and shutdown around the same time everyday.
That's how my checks are too. You on the 5 2 5 3 schedule. I try for 500 too 600 miles a day but sometimes I get grocery loads and that kills the miles
Ya on 5/2. It's all luck of the draw. I just do what I can
Oh yea same here. I like too leave a couple hrs early on my go home day too
What does go home day mean brother? Are you living on the truck for those 4 days ?
@@Dannychaa619 yes. It's a regional home weekly position. There are a few different schedules with basically 2 or 3 day weekends
I would drive for them but I don't truck jumping you go home for a 34hr restart you gotta empty out your truck? Nah I'm good! Good video recruiting was very nice!
Depends on your DC. My buddy in Grantsville UT got his own truck 1st day. I wasn't offered my own truck till 1 year. Now I have the schedule I want and the truck. And boat loads of PTO
I'm in Hillsboro Texas the nearest DC to me is in Cleburne Texas
@restless7528 so just like they want to be open to the idea of working weekends they may even tell you you will be slip seating each week but until you are done with the hiring process you won't know for sure. If I had to guess that DC I would expect first year a different truck every week
I think anything under 2.00 mile is robbery nowadays
Lol not for company drivers
I was wondering if they tax the $42 for sleeping in the truck?
It is income so it goes in the same pot as far as the IRS is concerned
Is the pay ever week or every 2 weeks?
Does WM really pay you for mealbreak??? Nobody told me about that during orientation and training..
only in California.

Thats good $$ man 👍🏽 i though about coming their but, the pay the same or more where im currently at i gross 1800-2000
The pto is incredible here too. 25 days first year
@@walmartprofessionaldriver thats pretty dam good driver i will keep my options open are u guys m-f !
I'm confused. That's roughly 72k a year (gross), yet many are saying new drivers can expect at least 100k a year?
It’s every two weeks so $3900 gross, u would multiply by 26 at that pace, he’s well over 100k a year comfortably without any bonuses
And every year my income goes up significantly. There are top earners 150k to 200k+ it takes time though
Just think not so long ago a Walmart could be fired for talking about how much $$ they make 😮
I might be going through associate to driver program. How is the work schedule like? Like what day do you have off?
Most likely it's any 2 days off in a row. Various start days 5 on 2 off
I've been here 15 and 1/2 years and I just checked my paycheck for million dollar life insurance and I'm paying $79.17 every 2 weeks. So how is it your only paying $10 for the million dollar life insurance? Either you're underpaying or I'm way over paying.
Depending on age
@@Gary-pogi if that's the case then 50 years old didn't pay off here at all LOL I'll probably get a hold of HR on Monday to get the actual answer on this to be sure
@@donaldrsmith good idea, I'm just a truck driver, I should have put a question mark after my comment, I don't know anything and I can prove it! 😁
@@Gary-pogi LOL over the years I usually claim I don't know anything on most things and I think most of the time that would be correct LOL
🤷♂️ I'm just a driver lol. Probably age
Was that .61cpm at FedEx paid to the truck and then split between you and your teammate?
Technically it's split because by law if you're sleeping in the truck and away from home they have to pay you. So I got half of that for all the miles I drove and for all the miles he drove. So basically I got .61cpm for every mile I drove and 0 when I was sleeping. Same difference

@@Blunt_Spartan the highest I beard of our here was .68 but everyone that went there was quiting all the time. Contractors are greedy
@@Blunt_Spartan and this was a few years back
I make that and have weekends off and home Wednesday night. Don't seem worth staying out 5 days str8. Think I'll pass

Very good pay. Do you need hazmat to work for Wal-Mart after 2.5 years of safe driving?
You do but you don't have to have it until 90 days after date of hire
How much did you make when you first started?
I talked about it in my old videos. But net 2 week check was 2750 for first few months. Most drivers I talk to make 400 a day by 6 months. Took me a year
Do they have automatic trucks!! Very interested in joining. I’m based in CA
Ya. It's all auto now for new hires
Hello. I have telephone interview tomorrow.
Send me an email. I've been to busy to keep up with the channel lately.
Walmartpd21@gmail.com
Just got my cdl do you still need two and a half years of experience to apply?
Yes. Keep an eye on the website. They update and change the requirements often
👍
Does Walmart have start times on first day back from home?
I know at my dc u do. They have a schedule where ur out the yard by 6am or one for 8 am
Ya your first dispatch of the week is always the same time. Then it's up to you to set them there after
How long does it usually take to hear from them about your application? I put mine in over a week and still haven't heard from them🤔
It just depends on the DC and how many positions are open. Did you use me as a reference? If so my boss can look into it
Took me a few weeks i go to onboarding in 2 weeks pretty stoked red bluff ca cant wait
@@Walt450 nice. Let me know if you need anything or are curious about anything. My email is always in the description
@@walmartprofessionaldriver just applied and didn’t see the reference section. Can I add you?

How many hours worked
65
How are you only taxed $150 federal. Even with kids that peanuts.
150 on 1 paycheck and 182 on the other. I get a massive return every year so probably over paying lol
Walmart drivers getting paid bi-weekly?
Yes. Every other Thursday direct deposit
You have hazmat. Leave.
Lol I make same pay home every night weekend off out Fresno
What company? I searched jobs in fresno forever. I live closer to there than Porterville. How much PTO ? I couldn't find anything over 23/hour
The first number you showed ($29xx) that was net not gross
He literally said it in the video
He stated that it was gross. Pay breakdowns do not give you net they give you gross every time
I’m pretty sure the gross was 38$$ and the 29$$ was take home
If you kept watching, his gross was well into $3k. That was actually his net
Yea Sam Walden knew what he was doing that why walmart is the top dog. Eventually walmart will buy out swift all the other trucking company's. Haha unless your the lead dog. The view is always the same. That why walmart almost made a trillion dollars last year and aldis made barely a billion.
$6k a month I thought they made wayyyyyy more
Your thinking net not gross. Gross for me is over 2k a week
@@walmartprofessionaldriver how’s your home time
@yungpesso_ it's crazy how much PTO we get. I rolled over 8 days from last year plus I get another 27 days this year. Only been here 2 years. And they want you to use it. It's not hard to take time off.

@Dave Seres pretty sure I had 1 day PTO (vacation) usually 4 per week
So it looks like you’re netting an avg around
$1500/wk
$78,000/y
Good job bro👍
Ya. It's going up I'm starting to see more 31xx and 32xx net paychecks. And this is before safety bonuses
I'm sure your a nice guy, how can anyone drive for wackimart when they have welfare programs and sell china this and china that? Hey wackimart,,,, what the percent of American made items you sell ????
Man that's average pay. I gross in a 5 day what you make.
Are you contributing to your 401k ?
No. There is a match though. There is also a match on Walmart stock. I do neither
man take advantage of their match at least...just do 6% you'll be glad you did @@walmartprofessionaldriver
The pay is trash
