I wish I watched this video before I went on my onboarding.. I’m good in backing but I failed on my last day, just because I didn’t use the GOAL méthode.. I’ve learned from it never be over confident
I just passed my on-boarding today and wanted to thank you for the info. If anyone still scheduled to go it may be a bit stressful but the guys they have running the event are great and extremely helpful so be vigilant but do your best not to stress out. Practice the pretrip routine they provide and get out and look as much as you need and keep calm through the backing!
Just passed everything Friday 4/23 21 not going to lie it was very stressful 🙃 coming from Daycab to sleeper backing was very challenging ..Just take your time and get out and Look Orientation 4 /26 /21. So ready 🙌
All - he MEANS it. G.O.A.L. I got out at least 3 times to complete my 360. GET OUT AND LOOK. After you get past on-boarding, you still have to GET OUT AND LOOK. They will have random observations just to see if drivers are getting out to look. GOAL
@@hello520111 - every location will have a unique backing problem. I my location, it was challenging but doable. You have to take your time and get out and look. But you can't take to long. It was a timed event.
I'm going through on boarding now 11/29/21 - 12/03/21 in Searcy. You are quite correct that they are not looking to fail you. They want you to pass and become a Walmart driver.
It all depends on where your at. We don’t have any manuals in Alabama all auto. On boarding was smooth it’s not hard at all. Ad long as you can drive you’ll be fine
Gibbs, I’m traveling and took lunch in a small town and Reviewed this video once again. I’m on my way to Searcy Arkansas for orientation. Thank you so much for this video it made more sense to me the second time around 😂😂😂 I’ve been studying my air break test for a couple days now . Feel a bit more comfortable after this time around . Thanks again !! F*#%ing get out and look !!!
@@BossTweed1 I’ve never had a better job than this in my 41 years of life. You will love it bro trust me. What’s ur last name ima be looking out for you
@ D1 - can you back a 53' trailer with a sleeper tractor? If so, you have nothing to worry about! 😟 BTW - The on boarding assessment is run by DRIVERS, not corporate. Drivers that have demonstrated they are safe and professional. Don't worry, it's not a college kid with no trucking experience assessing your abilities to safely drive, back and pre-trip. I'm sure each location has their own backing scenario. So, it might not be what you see when or if you go!
@@hawkville1 yes, if it's a manual, it will be a Ten speed. Not all locations require the ability to drive manual. Talk to recruiters about specific locations
Quick question: if you start the training on Monday, what is the last day of training. Just to be sure to use enough of my annual leave from my current job.
@@raymondgibbs8565 Just an update; I am now on my second week with my mentor out of Buckeye. I am driver 47784. Here's my own personal experience with onboarding in Grantsville. Yes, there is an element of stress there, but it isn't anything like a boot camp with people yelling at you or anything like that. In fact, the CDT's there were very helpful, encouraging, and professional. But if they absolutely see that you don't have what it takes and you fail too many times, they will drop you like a bad habit. I started with a class of 14, and finished with 9 by Thursday. I think 2 or 3 more retested on Friday and passed. One was a no-show, and another one pretty much quit but I think he simply wasn't focused and/or he just realized that maybe this kind of work environment and setting wasn't for him. And there's nothing wrong with that; this isn't for everyone. Overall, the company seems to take care of their employees and there are a lot of great things about it. I do realize, however, I had to change a lot of bad habits. One is the mandatory 360 and always getting out and looking. A lot of extra safety stuff that does make it seem go longer, but at the same time, as far as I've seen so far, no one is going to rush or push you to hurry up and do the load so they can put you on the next one right away. That's the big difference I see between Walmart and most other trucking companies. My last trucking company wasn't bad, and I was with them for almost 4 years. They never rushed us either since it was a local job, but the pay and benefits weren't as much as Walmart offers. But they also had pretty old trucks, some kind of questionable with regards to their roadworthiness. But they were a good company and I won't badmouth them, since even at the very last second before I turned in everything, they said I am always welcome to come back if Walmart doesn't work out. I hope it never has to come to that, but still it's always good to have an out if and when needed. Take care, and always be safe out there on the road. Again, thank you for all the information you provided before. Regards, Jerry
Will do ! On my way to Searcy this morning. 😬😬😬 does it matter if I keep correcting myself on backing? I will definitely GTFO and look 10 times . Will stay connected on my venture. Thanks again ! 🚶🏽🚛🚶🏽
I swear I get calls and emails from Walmart recruiting every other week and when I told the recruiter that I am making close to 90k a year home every night ,she was like ohh that’s a solid money.I am a day cab guy for last 6 years and very confident on my backing skills but will see how this get out and look will look like ,thanks for the video tho
Nope. All the same. Except y’all get wayyyy more chances now than older classes got. And I’ve heard RUMORS that it’s all automatics now. Don’t hold me to it though
Got a buddy that works for Walmart. And he says he makes more on accessory pay than he does for the miles. They pay for everything extra you do….even pay you to sleep in your truck for your 10 hour break.
No driver mandate, but the home office is vaxxed. I was told that they aren't requiring drivers to take the jab, because they would lose over 1/2 their drivers.
@@ronaldjohnson7962 when I went they did it the first day of onboarding in Grantsville. Before we started class. Has that changed? What’s orientation? Is that when you get to your DC?
Onboarding the 25th. GOAL - Got it, no problem. Definitely nervous about missing something on either the pre-trip or something but I know my stuff. It's really nice to know that they're not looking to fail anyone. They just want people to do the right thing. I'll be assigned to Mebane, NC but running out of Pottsville for the first year at least (if I make it through onboarding). Hope to see you around. I'll update this if I make it through.
Hey man I just got done with the phone interview. At what point can you be sure to put in your two weeks at the job your leaving? Is it after your background clears and you get the call back to confirm the on boarding event? I ask because I dont want to put in my two weeks too soon.
Hey man I'm currently in on boarding. I'm having a difficult time with the driving test. Specifically the sharp right turns do you have any tips for me to make the turns successfully over without hitting the curbs?
I don't have a commercial driving license or commercial driving experience. Obviously I'd have to go to traffic school to get the license.....but what would you say the odds are of getting my foot in the door with no experience?
Mono - you need a minimum of 30 months of verifiable driving experience. Right now, non-negotiable. If you want to drive for Walmart, get CDL, drive for another company such as Swift, CRST, CFI, Prime. Then after you gain experience, apply

At least you passed it
I love this video!!! I go to Searcy Arkansas February 28 2022 for onboarding. Really looking forward to it.
Made it through onboarding. Starting in Palestine on Dec 6th, 2021. The hardest part for me was the backing test since I'm used to pulling a tanker.

Congratulations Biggy! Welcome to the fam! Best of luck!
Ill be looking for you. Good luck
i bet the backing scenario is a hard 90 with a obstacle in the way like a trailer or something
I bet its more like they throw shit in the way as your backing before you get in line to see if you get out and move it. It's what I would do anyway.
The back scenario isn’t no joke
It’s a backing situation that you would do at a neighborhood market
But it’s doable

Just hang in with orientation. Its nerve wracking but they are there to help and we need ya
