I put my application in on a Friday morning and I had an email come to set up the phone interview literally 4 hours later. I did the phone interview and had a conditional offer on the following Monday. I went to Spring Valley Illinois on June 5th and passed onboarding there. I completed the last week of onboarding at my DC in Menomonie WI last week and heading out with my mentor in the morning. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome. I'm very happy to be a Walmart driver and I'm looking forward to the future at Walmart! Good luck to anyone who is applying or going to onboarding and I hope all goes well.
Some locations have a high need for drivers and ypu can process quickly. Some like Searcy, southeast US and TX get 100s of applications and only need 10 drivers. That's where a referral of some kind matters. Congrats on you great placement!
@WalmartRich Quick update, I'm still here and loving every second of it. I got lucky and got the 5/2 program and have my own tractor which is very nice! Making great money and having a blast while doing it.
I haven't watched a video from ANY Walmart Professionals that aren't enthusiastic about the opportunity, pointers and willingness to provide their "experiences" to others. Thank you.
5 major things on PTI seat belt check, 5th wheel check locking jaws with a tug test must do tug test immediately after coupling 5th wheel with no spaces between 5th wheel and trailer, lug nut checks all 100, 4 pins on sliding tandems with release lever locked. major fail. get all 5. you can miss some other things and still pass but if you miss the 5 major things you will fail PTI.
Hey Rich I truly want to thank you for your time spent on creating these videos. They have been so helpful and so insightful. I blindly went and applied to Walmart and was called back a week later and now I’m scheduled for onboarding the 30th of May in Spring Valley, IL. I wish I had known of your videos before I applied to use you as a reference, because you definitely deserve whatever they offer to guys as an incentive. I look forward to joining the Walmart family, and hope we cross paths one of these days, so I can thank you face to face. Stay safe friend.
I appreciate your kind words. I dontbdo the videos for the referal bonus. If I get them fantastic! I do them to tell my views and help others who may want to know the info. I was looking for this when I applied and it wasn't available. I live an hour from spring valley so we might cross paths. Find me on Facebook as Rich Warne.
I have to mention...GOAL - Get Out And Look during your backing test also. Beep your horn and also make sure your hazard lights are on during the test (as you would normally) Another thing, you will DEFINITELY learn about your truck so much more during your onboarding process.
You have to chain out here in the west because the mountains have steep grades with ice and snow on them. There's no need to chain if you're on flat ground like out in indiana. Also our grocery DC is on one side of Donner pass and the majority of all the stores they service on the other side of Donner pass. If we didn't chain it would be a catastrophe for all those stores in California. They pay us $60 every time we put the chains on. All my old jobs didn't pay anything for chaining.
@@WalmartRichI applied last week and I did one for the Tobyhana Pa region and Pedricktown NJ . I talked to someone last Friday to complete the first advantage process
I think there making it easier as time goes on Because there loosing Too many good drivers Over a check mark on a Form.....thanks for ur input if I do this I wanna Be ready
I do believe they require you chain. But if you deem it unsafe you can shut down. But you must put chains on at minimum. They do have a mobile service I believe for Donner pass that will help you chain at chain up points on 80.
Yes, you're exactly right. I haven't had to chain so far, but I was told the same thing. Also we get alerts on our tablet about any chaining events throughout the day.
Hey Rich. I work at the 6017 DC in Seymour. I recently applied for the associate to driver program. I haven't heard anything yet but I view it as a great opportunity. I was always was interested in driving , but the nightmares I've heard of not ever getting home always;discouraged me. That doesn't seem to be the case with Walmart. Anyway.. Appreciate your channel.. Tons of info.
Soooo true! The weather can change so fast on Donner Pass as well as the grapevine area. They'll make sure drivers know how to do it also. We had chaining training sessions during orientation too.
I was told by Courtney, the recruiter from the west coast, that apps with referrals get priority. Some locations that need a lot of drivers, that may not matter as much.
MY CORRECTION: REGIONAL PAY FOR CALIFORNIA IS AN EXTRA $6.00 PER DC. (not 6cpm extra, please excuse me on that one. There's so much more beneficial information that you will receive at onboarding and orientation)
The reason I passed on Walmart is because of onboarding im an experienced driver im not going to go back to driving school for a week to pre trip a truck
Understandable. I would apply when you get 1 month away so by the time they call your ready. If you apply and don't get an answer email me, there are a few tricks.
Hey Rich, I just got done listening to this entire conversation with Holly. I like that format and would be interested in sitting on one with you. More detailed information for California or Nevada based drivers. Phil Walmart Driver out of Sacramento
@@WalmartRich Let me know what works for you. Currently I'm on 5/2 - 5/3 program and my go home is tomorrow Friday. Off for 3 days (Saturday/Sunday/Monday). I can do it over those days as well
I am looking forward to watching a video with you two. I'm an Arizona driver and I go to California a lot - especially SoCal, but would love to hear it from your more experienced point of view. I tried to explain as much as I could. I can learn more about your experience with chains too. I know how to put them on, but haven't experienced driving with them on.
@@HollyDJonez I will never say I'm more experienced then anyone. We will have different experiences and that molds us to who we are. I just passed my 1st year at Walmart and was fortunate enough to chain several times this winter. 🙃 It always seemed to be on or around my go home day. Whoo hoo!!! Good times. Especially when we got that big snow storm in November that dumped over 10feet of snow over one weekend. Being in Sacramento, we are sent everywhere because it's not a brick and mortar DC. It's more of a relay yard and tractor staging.
....I have 4 DCs around me, smyrna de Pottsville pa tobyhanna pa and Bethlehem pa. A driver from Sutherland told me to apply for Pottsville because they always need a driver, and it's a good chance I'll get a truck faster.
Nothing really. Each DC uses a different vendor. Some companies have a light blue some have a dark blue. All have white available. You get to choose what you want.
Interesting. We been hearing rumors and was not sure what was true. I had a person tell me they didn't get a call. They added me as a referral and got a call the next day. Coincidence? Idk
Hello, I am going to doing onboarding in Grantsville and my home location is buckeye az. I was looking to find out a little bit more information on second week of orientation
So as a new driver I know weekends off on a 5/ 2 wont happen for many years . Is it hard to use your PTO days on a weekend since so many other senior drivers have Sat Sun off. My wife has weekends off so I'm hoping to use ocational pto for that purpose.
I have only ever been denied a weekend pto day 1 time. They allow up to 10% of the drivers to be off on one day. So as long as your not trying to get a holiday weekend off.. you should be ok most of the time I would think.
@@dcamp17 You have to reside within 250 miles of the nearest DC. If applicants aren't sure which one it is, you can always call or even Google that information as well.
Yeah we are trying to figure out what helps people because some people are waiting 3 and 4 weeks others get a call back in the next day or 2 and some of them are from the same location so we're not sure what's going on. Just doing our best to help people who want to get in.
I put the app in they called the next day and had an interview the next week Got my on-board date the same day as the interview and through the process you fill out your background check and everything they call your job for employment verification I tried to use vacation for onboarding and got denied. I work for a small company so I just put the two weeks in and decided to risk it I'm ready to move on anyway.
What DC do you live by. East coast is in SC, midwest is Seymour IN. There is also onboarding in Spring valley, IL, ? TX, and Grantsville Utah. They will reimburse you for travel and dinner($10 per day) they feed you lunch and breakfast at hotel or at onboarding class.
I put in a application about a week ago I thought I put my number down but they left a message on my wife's phone that was Monday she didn't check her messages till Friday I tried calling Friday but they must have been out of the office. I'm going to call back first thing Monday morning I also left a message. I guess if you get a phone call that's a good thing. I called another number that looks up the status of your application because I was worried I missed my opportunity but all he could see is that I meet their qualifications so hopefully I will be able to talk to someone Monday morning
They have an associate to driver program. Im waiting for that to open to apply. Im excited. I already have my cdl i was wondering how he experience will be. Its 12 week program they said no matter what 😫
I was curious to know is the on boarding done with a automatic or Manual transmission? I obtained my CDL in 2016 and have not used a 10 speed transmission since. I wouldn’t want to do the on boarding because of the rust or until I brushed up with a 10 speed again. Thanks
Hello I just was wondering I seen a video of a driver saying they applied for Walmart as a regional driver and after onboard and training was sent far out and did not have the two days off a week. Wondering if you can confirm that?
I think if that did happen there had to be some crazy circumstance. I have not heard of that happening. I was 3 hours from the depot once. Luckily I was in my home town and became ill. Went to the ER and Walmart sent someone to pick up my truck and get the trailer back to the DC. At holidays like Christmas or Thanksgiving they assist drivers to get home. If you scheduled they give you a route near your house so you can be home or they just give you the time off. I could go on, but Walmart has been completely accommodating at every turn. Im not saying it didn't happen, but if it did there must have been a mistake or reason.
@@WalmartRich okay thank you. You mentioned on a video about getting the pre trip packet? I was wondering if I can get that emailed when you have a quick second.
Im not 100% sure what you mean. Walmart advertised 87k a year starting pay. That just meant all driver made at a minimum 87k a year. I dont know what they advertise at the moment but I think the odds of making under 100k a year starting out must be very low. See my video where I show you my paycheck.
Ya know!!!!! This is crap!!!!!!!! They don't get moved up on the list, because they put your driver number down. Ya'll just want that $5000. Just be honest with people. And you don't even share that with those drivers. That's crap too.
Which recruiter would you like to talk to. You have no idea what your talking about. The fact is recruiter will look at those application with refrals first. Then if they still have openings the look at apps that don't. I have several drivers that will tell you that I go to work for my people. Referal or not I call, email, and do my best to get answers ND results for people. So kindly take your ignorance elsewhere
WM be over doing on the BS. I wouldn’t work there if they paid me $200k a year and I did drive for the for 6 years. Went to an LTL carrier making over $100k home every day off every weekend.
Its alot of trucking jobs that pays alot more than walmart, especially being an O/O. Why go through basically what you learn in truck driving school years ago to get a walmart truckin job? Really, walmart isnt all that. I better clear at least $3000 a week if im going through all that testing again. Most companies its a quick road test and thats it. Be a owner op and make $200,000+ now forget walmart.
Your talking over op vs company. Not many company job you make 110-150k a year and have all the benefits we have. If you cancer, need a knee or hip replacement etc. Is covered 100% through a center of excellence? Is the company giving you a 15% discount on stock purchases? Are you getting a 6% match on a Roth or 401k? Great insurance through blue cross and blue shield. Can you help you community or veterans with Walmart heart or Wreaths across America? When you find a company giving all that, I'm sure the list is VERY small. As an owner op you will not get any or most of that. By the time you buy all those benefits, what are you left with? Most are left with less than the salary of a Walmart driver. Let's not talk about all the headaches you have as an owner op, isuran e tags, FUEL, and know one wrong move could end you business. PLEASE!
@@WalmartRich You got it all wrong, being an owner op you own your time. Walmart owns you, and can fire you whenever they please. As far as breakdowns and expenses its not a big deal when clearing $3000 plus every week, plus most o/o got $200,000+ in ppp loans to help with there business during the pandemic.And how much of that $110,000 to $150,000 do you keep driving for walmart after uncle sam has robbed you? O/O has alot of tax write offs including breakdowns and of course with 1099 you get all your money. Seems like walmart taking drivers through truck driver school all over again to get a job with them, please. There are local tanker jobs like speedway, that makes $100,000 a year with good benefits, plus you home everyday. And they dont take you thru truck driving school all over again to get the job. If its all that to you than more power to you. But It dont take all that to make $100,000 a year. That amount of strictness they probaly have cameras in the truck watching you. Its about freedom not money.
@@christopherhamm9899 bro you made some good detail points it seems like they want you to go back to trucking school all over again just to be a company driver wtf is everybody running to them for 🤷♂️
I can only go off what I'm told or learn. If this is all true why do so many fuel haulers come to walmart. Why are owner ops o e of the biggest demographics that come to walmart? Owner ops constantly say the money is to hard to chase. The expenses and stress don't outweigh the possible pay difference. Walmart drivers start at 110k with 0 stress. Fuel haulers complain the job is outside in the elements. After the commute, the long day by the time they get home they barely have time to sleep and back at it. These are not my experiences, just what drivers say who come to walmart.
That would be your opinion. In the last 18 months, the associate to driver program has yielded the safest driver demographic of any set of drivers including the 10+ year veterans. Next time please do some research and have a little class when shooting off at the mouth. THANKS!
@@WalmartRich I still talk to my former coworkers at 7833 on a regular basis. The clowns they’re hiring today is an embarrassment. Damaging equipment and property. Full tatoos. All kinds of stuff that wouldn’t fly in the day.

Is orientation different from onbording
Onboarding is where they test your skills. Orientation is where you fill out insurance, payroll and hired paperwork.
@WalmartRich thanks is orientation just for the one day I need to know before I submit my orientation date please.
Does anyone know whether orientation is part of onbording or just for one day
@WalmartRich is orientation just for one day or part of onbording I need to know before I submit my orientation date please thank you
Hello I need to know is orientation for one day or is it part of the onbording process can you please respond thanks
Will they let u try again
If u fail ???
Yes. Most of the time they tell you to reapply in 3-6 mo.
Ok thanks 😊
What does it mean when they offer you a annual base pay? X amount annually
Im not 100% sure what you mean. Walmart advertised 87k a year starting pay. That just meant all driver made at a minimum 87k a year.
I dont know what they advertise at the moment but I think the odds of making under 100k a year starting out must be very low. See my video where I show you my paycheck.
Ya know!!!!! This is crap!!!!!!!! They don't get moved up on the list, because they put your driver number down. Ya'll just want that $5000. Just be honest with people. And you don't even share that with those drivers. That's crap too.
Which recruiter would you like to talk to. You have no idea what your talking about. The fact is recruiter will look at those application with refrals first. Then if they still have openings the look at apps that don't. I have several drivers that will tell you that I go to work for my people. Referal or not I call, email, and do my best to get answers ND results for people. So kindly take your ignorance elsewhere
@@WalmartRich why do you not split the $5000????????
It does make a difference
WM be over doing on the BS. I wouldn’t work there if they paid me $200k a year and I did drive for the for 6 years. Went to an LTL carrier making over $100k home every day off every weekend.
Congratulations.. just curious why you bother to watch videos and comment if you don't care? Odd.
Its alot of trucking jobs that pays alot more than walmart, especially being an O/O. Why go through basically what you learn in truck driving school years ago to get a walmart truckin job? Really, walmart isnt all that. I better clear at least $3000 a week if im going through all that testing again. Most companies its a quick road test and thats it. Be a owner op and make $200,000+ now forget walmart.
Your talking over op vs company. Not many company job you make 110-150k a year and have all the benefits we have. If you cancer, need a knee or hip replacement etc. Is covered 100% through a center of excellence? Is the company giving you a 15% discount on stock purchases? Are you getting a 6% match on a Roth or 401k? Great insurance through blue cross and blue shield. Can you help you community or veterans with Walmart heart or Wreaths across America?
When you find a company giving all that, I'm sure the list is VERY small.
As an owner op you will not get any or most of that. By the time you buy all those benefits, what are you left with? Most are left with less than the salary of a Walmart driver.
Let's not talk about all the headaches you have as an owner op, isuran e tags, FUEL, and know one wrong move could end you business.
PLEASE!
@@WalmartRich You got it all wrong, being an owner op you own your time. Walmart owns you, and can fire you whenever they please. As far as breakdowns and expenses its not a big deal when clearing $3000 plus every week, plus most o/o got $200,000+ in ppp loans to help with there business during the pandemic.And how much of that $110,000 to $150,000 do you keep driving for walmart after uncle sam has robbed you? O/O has alot of tax write offs including breakdowns and of course with 1099 you get all your money. Seems like walmart taking drivers through truck driver school all over again to get a job with them, please. There are local tanker jobs like speedway, that makes $100,000 a year with good benefits, plus you home everyday. And they dont take you thru truck driving school all over again to get the job. If its all that to you than more power to you. But It dont take all that to make $100,000 a year. That amount of strictness they probaly have cameras in the truck watching you. Its about freedom not money.
@@christopherhamm9899 bro you made some good detail points it seems like they want you to go back to trucking school all over again just to be a company driver wtf is everybody running to them for 🤷♂️
So do you work 5 days and home 2 every week?
I can only go off what I'm told or learn. If this is all true why do so many fuel haulers come to walmart. Why are owner ops o e of the biggest demographics that come to walmart? Owner ops constantly say the money is to hard to chase. The expenses and stress don't outweigh the possible pay difference. Walmart drivers start at 110k with 0 stress. Fuel haulers complain the job is outside in the elements. After the commute, the long day by the time they get home they barely have time to sleep and back at it. These are not my experiences, just what drivers say who come to walmart.
WM hiring a bunch of under qualified rookies.
That would be your opinion. In the last 18 months, the associate to driver program has yielded the safest driver demographic of any set of drivers including the 10+ year veterans.
Next time please do some research and have a little class when shooting off at the mouth. THANKS!
@@WalmartRich I still talk to my former coworkers at 7833 on a regular basis. The clowns they’re hiring today is an embarrassment. Damaging equipment and property. Full tatoos. All kinds of stuff that wouldn’t fly in the day.
I've been driving for over 20yrs. I've never had an interview. I feel cheated 🫥
