I'm 28, married, kids, own my house, bought my dream car (Subaru WRX) and all I do is drive forklift.... It's not who you work for or how much you make. It's about being smart with your money
Thats the way it was for me... I got hired at Holland in 87... retired 2018... cant get that in peoples heads these days.. that one job paid for everything...it was hell for the first 7 years till got some seniority and was able to get a shift I liked...worked the docks for 22 years and finished spotting in the yard the last 8.... number 6 on the list.when I retired ,my pension was in the bank the very next month and collecting it ever since...
My nephew (wife’s nephew) was working for UPS. They were paying him well and paying his college tuition. He complained to his parents that it was hot in the warehouse. They advised him to quit. He did. My dad would have told me to, “Drink water, boy!!!” UPS is a great company.
There are monumental differences between Walmart and UPS. UPS can be somewhat difficult to get into at times but it is worth the perseverance. Don't settle for a substandard job like Walmart. I've been a UPS 32 years and I can tell you that it is the best driving job in the industry. Whether we're talking about compensation, benefits, work conditions or just the quality of work. They are hands down the best.
It’s hard to get in ups because of all the perks. It’s more like a type of job where you have to have a connection to get in just as Kaiser Permanente works.
@@TrukNLife316 what?🤣 I applied online as all my coworkers, got the drivers position and now I’m a top rate driver 😊 “making a book” was stressful but I did it. Now they’re paying for my CDL
UPS. Teamsters. West coast team driver. 4 days out 3 days home. Over a buck a mile. 5000 mi a week. Easiest job ever. Drop hook come back. Two kids in medical school. I love UPS. Treated like gold.
@@jaybartgis5148 Guessing you watched my videos. I enjoyed some of what I did at UPS as part of the mgt team. However, the work / home life balance wasn't there as the On-Road Manager. It would get worse if I progressed to Division Mgr. Simply not worth it in my opinion
@@jaybartgis5148 If they would have let me transition from mgt to be a driver at my location, I'd still be with UPS. They didn't and I resigned. Walmart called and at the end of my first year driving, I made the same $$ as a driver as I was making as a mgr at UPS.
I left a 15 year Walmart driving career in FL,and ran to UPS 4 years ago to run sleeps out of Cach. I respect his opinion, but couldn’t disagree more! The equipment belongs to the company. Period. You can’t take it home, but what I can take home is the best benefits me, and my family ever had. A pension, and about $50,000 more a year!!
Almost went to walmart recently, recruiter had a good offer. Pay was decent and equipment as well. Just couldn't do the serious downgrade in health insurance. Will keep them in mind in the future though if they ever upgrade their insurance plan
@thisismagacountry1318 yes, I have a sleeper truck, but bobtail to a hotel every night after dropping at a terminal. Due home every week, but I usually stay out 2 weeks by my choice.
It's that time of the year for them, PEAK SEASON. They don't have adequate amount of equipment to handle the added volume. So they hire peak season drivers, rent tractors and yard goats and rent trailers from SWIFT, PREMIER or any other provider that will rent them to UPS for peak season
You would NEVER see a UPS driver voluntarily leave UPS to go to a company like Walmart. Only if he got fired or he was a supervisor like this guy and the company wouldn't let him take a driving job. That's what you have here, a disgruntled ex UPS supervisor. Not a UPS driver.
Oh, I'm not a disgruntled ex UPSer. I just had to make a choice. I chose to leave. If they would have allowed me to move to driver, I would have stayed. Is driving for UPS all peaches and rainbows, no its not. Is driving for Walmart all peaches and rainbows, no. But I certainly removed a ton of stress
Speaking as a retired UPS Teamster, no way would I have left for another company. Between pay, health benefits, vacation, and time off, plus pension, and retirement. It’s a no brainer!!
@@ronaldmunoz3207 it needs to be stated that he was a supervisor, not a driver. That explains it all. He says manager but that's bulls$%#. No way he voluntarily quit as a manager to drive for walmart.
@Ronald Munoz That's just it, I was mgt not teamster. If they would have let me become a teamster, I wouldn't have resigned from being the Feeder On-Road Manager
I was in trucking for 30 years... at most we were in 33 states...and when we need to get s full load from the manufacturer we pick up at.. they would send another shipper to pick up the loaf and finish the delivery.. We never opened the trailer ..just picked it up and brought it to our terminal.
What's the difference?? He can drop & load at a DC. Then wait his three to four hours to get unloaded at Walmart. Then leave their property to find another place to go (within 25 minutes of drive time) to finish off your 10 HR off duty time to reset your clock. Done that plenty of times.
I’ve had the pleasure of pulling a Walmart trailer from dc to the store and waiting to be unloaded. I was not working for Walmart, but a contractor. I have to give much respect for the unloaders. Can’t say for certain that the way they stack these pallets is to make it intentionally harder to unload, but the effect is there is a lot to be desired about their understanding of how gravity works.
Lol ONLY place I've had anything fall off my trailer. Thankfully it was paper towels. The pallet that caused it didn't fall. But they put 5 pallets of paper towels at the back. 2&2 by the door and another UNDER a pallet of dog food. Seriously like you couldn't figure out that the dog food would crush the paper towels? I don't know how unbalanced the dog food was before it fell but just looking at the pallet of paper towels told the tale. The top pallet fell almost on top of me when I opened the doors thankfully I was already in the dock, so we just cut the wrap and started tossing them on the warehouse floor. Started backing up the rest of the way and the hill pulled the bottom pallet the rest of the way out just as I bumped dock unfortunately it was to far over the kid that was to unload it decided to have me pull forward and we tossed that on the dock floor too. That's when I noticed the dogfood on top of more paper towels... Took a couple pics and sent to my dispatch so if they filed a claim it wasn't on gonna be put on me, nobody needs that reputation.
UPS are hourly wages! So if you get stuck in traffic, your still making money, and over 8 hrs, or 40 hrs a week is all overtime. Time and a half! Holliday pay. 8 weeks vacation a year, sick day pay! Teamsters Union!
Yeah, what about all the Marttin trailers? What about all the swift trailers list goes on and on Walmart tools more of other peoples trailers than their own and as everywhere else as long as you have connections, you can work for a Walmart even if you have seven DUIs in the past.
You're absolutely wrong on all levels. Since joining Walmart, I've only coupled to Walmart trailers. I knew no one at Walmart when I applied, yet somehow got hired. Never had a DUI and will not have one.
Just subscribed love this I’m getting into trucking. Just finished my class. Going to take my behind the wheel and skills test within a week. I’ve heard a lot of good things about Walmart they take care of the drivers very well.
best thing to do is find a small mom and pop trucking operation where they will take you under their wing and teach you trucking... there's sooo much more to being a good driver than holding the wheel straight! learnn how to do basic maintenance, adjust brakes, learn the ins and outs of booking loads... you might not make as much money as you would fit a big company (but then again you might make more) but even if you don't make as much the knowledge you will gain is invaluable! good luck with your test i've been at it 22 years and i found my forever home about 4 years ago!
Now you won't have to pay attention while driving, when passing another truck on the I10 you can take All the time you like and you'll likely start hanging out with the swifty drivers after work

@@89nissancrawler well, if all of this stuff supposedly happen, how come, you never filed a claim against it ? They don’t just drop off freight to your house or business like a mail carrier. You have to inspect your shipment and sign for it, saying that it is in good shape or you can refuse the shipment so if this stuff was damaged, why would you sign for it saying you would accept it can you explain that??
It will be 2 years in April. They definitely treat us well. I've heard from drivers that have been here a lot longer, that it was a lot better before. BUT for me, they are still very good 👍 Enjoying your retirement?
I’ve know for a fact that Walmart takes great care for their drivers. And they never leave until retirement. I have met a lot of great Walmart truck drivers with a great outlook on life. I’m sure I’ll get some negatives on this but I don’t care.
@john stickles Let's be clear here, everyone chooses where we work. No one forces us to apply, accept or continue working at a company that they don't like or want to continue working for. We all have options. Stop complaining and make a choice!
When you first go to work at Walmart, your slip seat if you even know what slip seat is they trash the trucks they probably don’t clean them up and who knows what else is left in them stay where you’re at you’re doing fine
I worked at Legacy supply chain up until Monday when my entire shift was laid off and they are a warehouse for Sam's at Walmart. I've heard that they have over 600 trailers mixed up between different warehouses and they have too many Freight inside of the warehouse that isn't moving out and it's partially the reason why we all were laid off
that's package driving ifbyour not home and if there's a secured place for you to pick up you go there because they tried 3 times and you weren't home. .
I like Walmart but they have gotten really bad about one price under the product being low. And the price that rings up is higher . Can't blame the person checking you out..🧐😏. Let me rephrase that . Ringing you up because It hasn't been changed in the system. 😂 Now we have to watch and remember what the price is or supposed to be. $110 or $388. What? Take 24 things off my purchase. Then you won't have but two things. Oh well, take a side off that dinner too. How about the dishwashing soap. No I need that to wash my paper plates. 😏😐
You said it correctly 👏 UPS is a transportation company and Walmart is a retail company. You would think a transportation company would make the investment in their own trailers. But that simply isn't the case. Each peak season, every location for UPS has to lease hundreds of trailers in order to handle the volume of packages. It's nothing new, the should invest.
As a Walmart Private Fleet Driver, I never have to drive around looking for an empty trailer to take to a vendor. We have enough equipment that we do not have to haul, Premier, XTRA, SWIFT or any other leased equipment
Don't get me started on investing in the powered equipment. You'd think as a transportation company, UPS would ensure drivers are in the newest models. Instead, they keep equipment until it has over 1 million miles on them and the cost of maintenance is skyrocketing
@@rightlanetruckinsacramento1039 remember ? I was asking you who paid better between Wal-Mart and UPS Feeder, you said it was Feeder due to the high hourly and OT plus the double time.
You need to be able to obtain hazmat within 120 days of employment. If you have already, great. If not, they give you that time to obtain it. If you're interested in joining, send me more questions
Yes there is an outward facing camera that only gets activated under certain circumstances. Phone policy - we can talk as long as we want. Hands free is the LAW not just a company policy. Certain locations have daycab work. Yes, you need to live within 250 miles of your domiciled DC.
Not all drivers are on a shared tractor program. I have a dedicated tractor and do not switch weekly. Did I for the first year, YES. But the two drivers I shared with were awesome and we never entered a dirty tractor
I work 36 years at UPS , and retired comfortably at 57, with pension, stocks, and health care package! What’s Walmart got for you at the end? Or will you be driving till your 85???
I'm so proud of you. I would tell my new young drivers that were joining Feeder. Don't go blow your money on new cars and going out partying. If you do it right, you'll be able to retire at 55. As for Walmart, yes we can purchase company stock and they match. No pension but they do contribute 6% dollar for dollar to our 401K. Oh and you're wrong, I'll be working until I'm 💯
It's not all about miles here at Walmart. We get activity pay on top of mileage. Automatics is how most bigger companies roll. ELD's are a requirement of most Truckers across the USA. I run out West so, I'm not sure what you're saying there. We are regional OTR
but you still didn't answer the question...they are called drop trailers... it from point A to point B.. Your just getting paid to get it to point B...
@@rightlanetruckinsacramento1039 usually it definitely does. Better pay, hourly and mileage, better benefits including pension, insurance, more paid vacation, more paid personal days. If you really spent any real time at UPSas a feeder driver, you know this.
@S. Fletch You fail to mention the struggles of the newer drivers. Years on the relief list. No set schedule, on-call everyday, different tractor everyday, no feeder work - go back inside and load trailers. You're right, the senior drivers have it easy. Same schedule, same route EVERYDAY but you'll have an assigned tractor, can't find a clean empty to go to CPU's, pulling around MECZ, USAZ, PTLZ, SWFZ that suck. Stop throwing stones. Every job has positive and negative attributes. I'm very well aware of Feeder Drivers as I was the On-Road Manager.
@@rightlanetruckinsacramento1039 partially you’re right, but seniority is everything. You won’t be loading trailers with at least I would say 6 years of seniority even a new feeder driver coming from a package.
If he didn't take s pay cut, he didn't stick around long enough to gain descent seniority to get himself a good run. I'm a UPS feeder driver. I pulled in $147000.00 this year. Home every day if I wish to be. I could bid a team run and pull over $200000.00.
Oh hell I will be working there than for sure cause you don't find that ever.Just thinking how life will be like making money now with no effort involved.
Not all locations slip seat. And those locations that do have programs where 3 drivers share 2 tractors, the driver is in that tractor for the entire week. And at those locations a high % of drivers are already on a 5 on 2 off schedule with a dedicated tractor. Like I am now!!!
Do you know anything about UPS? UPS is all about tractor utilization and most of their tractors are DOUPLE utilized DAILY. One driver in the morning and one driver in the evening. Their relief drivers do not have an assigned tractor at all. They get what's available and it's different daily. In fact the relief driver at UPS might get a tractor for half the shift and need to change mid shift
UPS benefits = 100% company paid insurance, very generous pension ($3700 a month), 7 weeks of paid vacation, 4 paid personal days. Over time after 8 hours each day (if paid hourly), $42 per hour, 92 cents a mile (if mileage), ALL time is paid (meaning, there is no time where you're sitting for free except a 30 minute mandatory DOT break), 9 paid holidays, superior job protection.
I won’t work for Walmart neither for UPS because both companies suck ..I have an UNION job that pays great for over 27 years and in 3 years I will retire to enjoy life with my family .😎😎

Hmmm. Not sure what school you went to, but Math obviously was not a strong subject. Truck is a 2020 and it's still 2022. Hmmm I think that equals 2 years.
@@rightlanetruckinsacramento1039 not trying to be that guy but I think this guy is implying that although it's a 2020 year model, chances are it was released in 2019, also this year is pretty much over so he's probably counting 2022.... 2023 - 2019 = 4 years? Idk
Hey keyboard warrior, know this..it was all in fun. I actually had a good career and experience at UPS. I chose to resign to go be just a driver, not the manager of the drivers
I am not the agent at the gate, but your statement seems a bit exaggerated. I'm sure you can arrive 5 mins early. I've gotten plenty of testimonials from other drivers that have NEVER had issues at the Walmart DC and plenty of others that have. I'm sure there is SOME validity to your claim but it is definitely exaggerated
I always recommend that people interested in joining Walmart take a vacation or PTO time during their week of on-boarding before actually resigning their current position. Because, if something weird happens during on-boarding and they don't make it through, they have a job to return to

Truckers need to wake up and read “The Capitalist System” by Mikhail Bakunin
I worked at Legacy supply chain up until Monday when my entire shift was laid off and they are a warehouse for Sam's at Walmart. I've heard that they have over 600 trailers mixed up between different warehouses and they have too many Freight inside of the warehouse that isn't moving out and it's partially the reason why we all were laid off
That cause UPS has so much volume during holidays that contract allows them to source out during peak season!!
Everybody's hauling everybody else's freight now.
NO more middle man..the cheapest gets it...
UPS is the world biggest Transportation Company
UPS is using different companies to deliver and hold packages. I missed a UPS delivery and had to pick it up at Auto Zone
You are confusing FedEx with UPS.
that's package driving ifbyour not home and if there's a secured place for you to pick up you go there because they tried 3 times and you weren't home. .
UPS access point this is how it’s called
You must have got fired from UPS
YOU THINK 🤔 SO HUH??? If you really think that, I have some land in Florida to sell you
UPS sold their fleet to a company called T-Force
😂😂😂😂 Good one man 😂😂😂😂
Thank you
I love Walmart.
I like Walmart but they have gotten really bad about one price under the product being low. And the price that rings up is higher . Can't blame the person checking you out..🧐😏. Let me rephrase that . Ringing you up because It hasn't been changed in the system. 😂 Now we have to watch and remember what the price is or supposed to be. $110 or $388. What? Take 24 things off my purchase. Then you won't have but two things. Oh well, take a side off that dinner too. How about the dishwashing soap. No I need that to wash my paper plates. 😏😐
Walmart Tractor: Yea he’s pretty much set
UPS Trailer: Mmhmm
It was a joke. Didn't really couple to the UPS trailer
. Me got a friend that's been working for Walmart for about 10 years & he's happy about that. Ha.Ha.Ha
Hahahaha!!!!!! I wasn't expecting that!
starting pay walmart .54c/m vs ups .70c/m...60miles per hour you're looking at walmart $32/hr and ups at $42/hr with full benefits
TELL me you know all about Walmart pay structure without telling me you know NOTHING. We get paid for all of our activities.
@@rightlanetruckinsacramento1039 what you make at Walmart doesn't compare to UPS.🤦🏻
@@dawjy9413 hmmmm. You would be wrong...
How many years experience you need to drive for Walmart?
You'll need 2 1/2 years.

Well Wallyworld is a supermarket company and UPS is a transportation company pretty dumb to compare about the trailers.
You said it correctly 👏 UPS is a transportation company and Walmart is a retail company. You would think a transportation company would make the investment in their own trailers. But that simply isn't the case. Each peak season, every location for UPS has to lease hundreds of trailers in order to handle the volume of packages. It's nothing new, the should invest.
Each day, UPS drivers lose a couple hours looking for a empty and clean trailer to take to customer pick ups.
As a Walmart Private Fleet Driver, I never have to drive around looking for an empty trailer to take to a vendor. We have enough equipment that we do not have to haul, Premier, XTRA, SWIFT or any other leased equipment
Don't get me started on investing in the powered equipment. You'd think as a transportation company, UPS would ensure drivers are in the newest models. Instead, they keep equipment until it has over 1 million miles on them and the cost of maintenance is skyrocketing
Волмарт везёт УПС! Вот это поворот XD
I was asking you all them UPS questions 😎
Where? What questions?
@@rightlanetruckinsacramento1039 remember ? I was asking you who paid better between Wal-Mart and UPS Feeder, you said it was Feeder due to the high hourly and OT plus the double time.
@@zachwachs7913 that's right!!
@@zachwachs7913Is Feeder a UPS union job or outside contractor?
@@thisismagacountry1318 union job. Openings go by seniority
Thats funny
If you drive for UPS , you must have gotten fired, cause most UPS drivers , stick it through to retirement, which is excellent teamsters pension!!!
Psst... he's management
That's alright, you guys also pull for Pepsi. And Pepsi pulls for Ashley Furniture 🤪
Walmart pulling UPS!!
The money! Duh 💵🤑💰 lol
I once knew a Wal-Mart steering wheel holder, once.
I've been at Prime for 8 years with a perfect record. I've heard you need a Hazmat is that true? I apologize if this seems like a stupid question.
You need to be able to obtain hazmat within 120 days of employment. If you have already, great. If not, they give you that time to obtain it. If you're interested in joining, send me more questions
Nice Rig
Thanks
Cameras and strict phone/ headset policy,any daycabs to run a 250 mile radius of a dc?
Yes there is an outward facing camera that only gets activated under certain circumstances. Phone policy - we can talk as long as we want. Hands free is the LAW not just a company policy. Certain locations have daycab work. Yes, you need to live within 250 miles of your domiciled DC.
I’m not getting it. Why do you have an UPS trailer?
They have them at our GM DC's for orders that are being shipped via UPS
Not gonna lie I’ve met a lot of Walmart drivers and about 80% of them hve been just rude n grumpy, not sure why tht is
All about the money
Walmart hotseats their drivers/trucks, change out every week...
Not all drivers are on a shared tractor program. I have a dedicated tractor and do not switch weekly. Did I for the first year, YES. But the two drivers I shared with were awesome and we never entered a dirty tractor
Which one do you drive for??!
I drive for Walmart
@@rightlanetruckinsacramento1039 you didn't like driving for them??
@@brandonholloman6835 I love driving for Walmart
Yeah yeah big deal I've pulled walmart trls. Non of them have air ride and pull like a tank.
They are starting to get the air ride trailers. JUST we have so many trailers
I work 36 years at UPS , and retired comfortably at 57, with pension, stocks, and health care package! What’s Walmart got for you at the end? Or will you be driving till your 85???
I'm so proud of you. I would tell my new young drivers that were joining Feeder. Don't go blow your money on new cars and going out partying. If you do it right, you'll be able to retire at 55. As for Walmart, yes we can purchase company stock and they match. No pension but they do contribute 6% dollar for dollar to our 401K. Oh and you're wrong, I'll be working until I'm 💯
ARE THE DRAYS ABUSING YOUR TRAILERS ?
What are DRAYS?
Funny dude 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Finally
Wallmart same day gone closed door s UPS don't have this option
Walmart let's you turn left too. Lmao
YES, we can turn left. UPS Feeder Drivers can also turn left. It's their package car drivers that minimize left turns
@@rightlanetruckinsacramento1039 I know. About 6 friends of mine work for brown too.
You’re pulling the UPS trailer because UPS did not have a truck and driver to pull it so they brokered
it out to Walmart
I actually didn't couple to or move it.
i dont get it.
Don't get what?
How you like paying for that health insurance?😉
News Flash, UPS Management has to pay into the health plans. But the better part, it's cheaper over here at Walmart.
No miles, auto trans. Computer logs, governed tractors,running Northeast.......what else?
It's not all about miles here at Walmart. We get activity pay on top of mileage. Automatics is how most bigger companies roll. ELD's are a requirement of most Truckers across the USA. I run out West so, I'm not sure what you're saying there. We are regional OTR
but you still didn't answer the question...they are called drop trailers... it from point A to point B.. Your just getting paid to get it to point B...
Hmmmm Some are drop & hook. Others might have 2-5 stops and do live unloads
Ups much better job …. UNION !!!!!
Union does not = better.
@@rightlanetruckinsacramento1039 usually it definitely does. Better pay, hourly and mileage, better benefits including pension, insurance, more paid vacation, more paid personal days.
If you really spent any real time at UPSas a feeder driver, you know this.
@S. Fletch You fail to mention the struggles of the newer drivers. Years on the relief list. No set schedule, on-call everyday, different tractor everyday, no feeder work - go back inside and load trailers. You're right, the senior drivers have it easy. Same schedule, same route EVERYDAY but you'll have an assigned tractor, can't find a clean empty to go to CPU's, pulling around MECZ, USAZ, PTLZ, SWFZ that suck. Stop throwing stones. Every job has positive and negative attributes. I'm very well aware of Feeder Drivers as I was the On-Road Manager.
@@rightlanetruckinsacramento1039 partially you’re right, but seniority is everything. You won’t be loading trailers with at least I would say 6 years of seniority even a new feeder driver coming from a package.
You might like the rig your driving, and looks pretty going down road, but your only making half the money as a UPS Teamster driver!!!
Slip seating?
Some locations, answer is yes at first. Other locations, assigned tractor on day one. I have an assigned tractor and no one else uses
probably took a pay cut , go teamsters
Actually, I did not!
If he didn't take s pay cut, he didn't stick around long enough to gain descent seniority to get himself a good run. I'm a UPS feeder driver. I pulled in $147000.00 this year. Home every day if I wish to be.
I could bid a team run and pull over $200000.00.
@S. Fletch wow! I'm so impressed. You made a whole $7,000 more then I did. You got me, Walmart pay is just not on UPS level
Oh hell I will be working there than for sure cause you don't find that ever.Just thinking how life will be like making money now with no effort involved.
I don't work to hard. Wallie does the heavy lifting. I just drive.
Doesn't Walmart have slip seating though???
Not all locations slip seat. And those locations that do have programs where 3 drivers share 2 tractors, the driver is in that tractor for the entire week. And at those locations a high % of drivers are already on a 5 on 2 off schedule with a dedicated tractor. Like I am now!!!
Do you know anything about UPS? UPS is all about tractor utilization and most of their tractors are DOUPLE utilized DAILY. One driver in the morning and one driver in the evening. Their relief drivers do not have an assigned tractor at all. They get what's available and it's different daily. In fact the relief driver at UPS might get a tractor for half the shift and need to change mid shift
We make 180k to 250k what do u like about that?
What’s your point? I’d pull a dogsled if it was safe and paid me.
Working a Union what are all the benefits?
UPS benefits = 100% company paid insurance, very generous pension ($3700 a month), 7 weeks of paid vacation, 4 paid personal days. Over time after 8 hours each day (if paid hourly), $42 per hour, 92 cents a mile (if mileage), ALL time is paid (meaning, there is no time where you're sitting for free except a 30 minute mandatory DOT break), 9 paid holidays, superior job protection.
Well its to bad the rest of your company doesn't have the pay benefits you get. cause the only pay their drivers well!
I cannot control how they pay the DC or store associates
Hey give us our trailer back 😡😂
Walmart treats otr drivers like crap. I wouldn't want to work directly for them
YEP!!! YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY WRONG. 💯 % WRONG. YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW WE ARE TREATED
LOL…SURPRISED…!! Lol. 😂🤣👣👠
You can have all that slip seating!!!!
Good....more tractors for me to choose from...BTW...I don't slip seat, I have a dedicated tractor
Something tells me you just coupled under that trailer just for content on here
NO WAY!!! REALLY??? Why would I do such a thing?
I won’t work for Walmart neither for UPS because both companies suck ..I have an UNION job that pays great for over 27 years and in 3 years I will retire to enjoy life with my family .😎😎

Interesting...You actually think I was terminated and not resigned. I never threw a going away party for an employee I had to let go.
Hey keyboard warrior, know this..it was all in fun. I actually had a good career and experience at UPS. I chose to resign to go be just a driver, not the manager of the drivers
This guy needs to get back in the truck and do what he's getting paid to do. This video made not one bit of sense.
Good on you bud! Keyboard warrior. Funny thing is, we get breaks and we are free to do what we want during them. So go back to work yourself.
Stop the emptiness ups or walmart this all crazy
It sucks 5 min early or late they reject load
I am not the agent at the gate, but your statement seems a bit exaggerated. I'm sure you can arrive 5 mins early. I've gotten plenty of testimonials from other drivers that have NEVER had issues at the Walmart DC and plenty of others that have. I'm sure there is SOME validity to your claim but it is definitely exaggerated
Do they still slip seat?
Some locations. I have my own truck though
So are you telling people that if you don't pass onboard you don't get a job so think twice before you quit your job
I always recommend that people interested in joining Walmart take a vacation or PTO time during their week of on-boarding before actually resigning their current position. Because, if something weird happens during on-boarding and they don't make it through, they have a job to return to
Effem both
More fish in those company ponds...mean each fish is worth less.

YES, the tractor that Walmart assigns me.
