What it's like being a Walmart Driver. 1.5 years

[@philrockwell726]

After being with Walmart for 5 years now I can honestly say my worst day here was a normal day at my other job. My first full calendar year I made 93k, and it’s been 112k plus since. On top of the 5 weeks vacation to start with is out standing. I feel like I’m loafing sometimes and still make a great living, and quality home time.

[@walmartprofessionaldriver]

Exactly. My first year was 92k but that was before they did the big nation wide raise. It's been amazing

He gets home Monday night and leaves Thursday morning. They’ve never missed getting him home for his days off. Plus with their PTO and safety bonus days he gets 24 days a year off. It’s the first time in years he’s been home for most of the holidays and all of the kids birthdays. People say a lot of stuff about Walmart, but they’ve been very good for our family.

The only thing I hate is slip seating trucks.

Your my contact person that I started back in June to complete my app. Only problem is I came in with their old online web to do the app, they built a new online web to fill out the app and just over 2 months have passed and my app isn't done yet at all. I have hit all of the glitches in the new system and no one knows what to do to help me. At the end I had to create a all new me and start at the beginning like I just now applied for the first time. This is my negative side to walmart so far but I will make it through. Once I am in then all is good. Your name will still be on my app as my contact. Take care and talk soon. Stay safe

[@walmartprofessionaldriver]

That's a bummer, but a small hiccup.. thanks for putting my name on your application. Email me when they set you up with an onboarding date. I have something that will help you

[@04JALD]

@@walmartprofessionaldriver I will do that. Thank you.

[@AntonyAntony-mn9xu]

Where Can I apply?

[@anthonymiske]

Ebb and flow, are you in the masons? Pretty particular words

[@walmartprofessionaldriver]

Lol nope

[@grndhg8399]

Do you still have to slip seat when your a new driver and do you still get crappy schedules like Tuesdays threw Saturday?

[@walmartprofessionaldriver]

Slip seating is rare and certainly not every week. Some dcs don't even do it. And most likely you will have Saturday and Sunday in your work week in the beginning. They pay you more if you work weekends. I choose to work weekends still

Another truck driver don't like to follow the rules.

I'm with JoyRide Logistics, making $1,635 gross salary company driver weekly pay. I started on 1/22/2024 with JoyRide dry van company over the road truck driver. Take in bank $1,303.97 weekly net pay. Plus, I get $575 monthly safe driving bonus consistently. Drive a dedicated route with dry van easy safe lane from Goodyear AZ to Lamirada, CA. Then, I pick up an Amazon load back to Phoenix AZ. Loads are lightweight with only a dirt truck parking lot in Phoenix Arizona. They are empty cans of Monster energy drinks or Sprite. Plus, I drive the lower west coast from Goodyear Arizona to Lamirada, California, where driving all year is safe away from the bad weather potential to avoid accidents and traffic jams! Truck I'm driving is a Freightliner Cascadia white color 2022 with 157,767 low miles with medium-sized Whirlpool refrigerator, APU, and TV mount, governed at 74 mph automatic transmission. I'm saving $1k a week to buy my own truck. I'm thinking of working at JoyRide for the next 2 years until I get my own truck. If Walmart can hire in the Arizona area then I will like to work for them.

[@Trueruler55]

You’re definitely not going to make 100k here. It’s not what they make it seems. Alot of wait time some drivers are quitting.

[@jenniferclark7149]

How long did it take the recruiters to call you. My husband just applied like 3 weeks ago

[@walmartprofessionaldriver]

Well when I applied it wasn't a rush of people now it's common for a few weeks but I just had someone tell me he's at 2 months. If your husband put someone down as a reference that person can ask HR to check the status

[@zacadelic7247]

Will they hire without any experience. The only experience I have is driving in CDL school and driving hostlers for Amazon.

[@walmartprofessionaldriver]

No minimum experience is 30 months. It's on there website. And the requirements change often so that can go up or down

[@johnmazzola1221]

Can Walmart drivers do mostly daytime driving or are they required to do a lot of overnight driving?

[@walmartprofessionaldriver]

If you work at a gm DC it's all daytime. Grocery DC much more nights

Not really difficult but the trainers make it stressful and annoying a lot of guys got nervous and ended up messing up getting sent home

[@AverageChungus]

Does Walmart Private Fleet have driver facing cameras?

[@walmartprofessionaldriver]

No. Forward only with in cab audio. Only active in an "event" 12 seconds

[@AverageChungus]

@@walmartprofessionaldriver Thanks for getting back to me man. My current company has forward only as well but no audio, 30 seconds. Does your truck keep a record of the audio only during an "event"? Trucking makes you say some colorful words while driving alone for nearly 11 hours a day.

[@walmartprofessionaldriver]

@@AverageChungus ya only during an event

[@ffhjvbuydb78eb]

What if you fail onboarding? Do you have to wait a certain period to try again later?

Yes and it's always changing. 1 to 6 months

I want to drive for Walmart. I’ve got 29 months experience. Should I apply today or wait one more month ?

[@walmartprofessionaldriver]

You have to wait. They won't even consider it. You have to meet the requirement then apply

[@walmartprofessionaldriver]

When you do put me down as a reference

[@latoyasims8039]

Do Walmart offer training or do u need experience

[@walmartprofessionaldriver]

I have heard there is a school. But can't get good information on it yet. I'll try to get some information and make a video soon. There is an associate to driver program if you have worked at Walmart for 1 year

[@mauricegant1991]

Do u have to chain up and run in snow??

[@walmartprofessionaldriver]

Ya if the conditions permit we are expected to chain

[@tech35641]

Do you know if Walmart tries to hire internally first?

[@walmartprofessionaldriver]

We hire first come first serve. Using a reference is the only way to just the line. We have an associate to driver program with you can find more information on onewalmart.com. you might be able to apply directly on drive4walmart.com if it has an option in the beginning of the application to select associate to driver program. Not too sure about the last option. Maybe

[@tech35641]

@walmartprofessionaldriver Thanks. Hopefully, I can get into the next associate to driver class since I've been with the company for so long.
