No, you must have 30 months of full time tractor trailer driving experience within the previous 4 years. EXCEPTION: Select store, warehouse, or supply chain associates with at least a year of employment at Walmart can apply to be a driver through the Associate to Driver (A2D) program, in which Walmart will put them through an intensive 12 week training program to get their CDL. We have a couple A2D drivers at my DC currently.
@@apadilla0352 We are mostly regional. Our service area is generally a 600 mile radius, but that can extend further if another distribution center needs us to help move their freight. It's common to work out of the same DC all week. It's equally common to bounce around to different DC's as the need arises.
How do you get on board? I'm currently a store employee but do not have a CDL. Will they train me? Edit: I have a clean driving record and can pass a drug test at any given time
Ask your manager about the A2D program (associate to driver). Well qualified associates with at least a year of employment at Walmart may qualify to be trained for a CDL.
Slip seating is mostly done away with. I have my own truck and use it every week. But there are occasional times when another driver may need to use my truck, such as if their's breaks down and they need a truck for a day or two to finish their week. For that reason I remove my bedding and mattress liner each week, as well as empty my fridge. But I leave my other stuff. It's very rare that someone uses my truck on my weekend. There are also schedules, called "programs", where multiple drivers share the same truck. You still have the same truck all week, but when you go home for the weekend, another driver from your program will hop in the truck for their week. After your weekend, you hop in the second truck in your program for your week. It's cycles back and forth like that. You're in one truck one week, the other truck the next week, and so on and so on. It's Walmart's way of keeping those 2 trucks moving 7 days a week, instead of having them idle for your 2 weekend days. I know it isn't ideal, and most drivers don't like the idea of sharing a truck. But I will say that the drivers in the programs work together to make sure the trucks stay spotless inside and out. I did it for 2 years and there was never a problem.
@@getrichwalmart how long it took you to get to $477 and what did you do to up it? Im new to Walmart, i get about $410 a day. I mean you are at .62 plus .69 on weekends i know that plays a part, but im asking because im doing 6 days with the extension and i was told the bonuses dont apply to the workweeks to get a higher ADP. But im in texas. Im probably going to hit about 118k my first year, but i started mid February. But we got that .02 raise in February too and that helped. So how did you get it up for only working 5 days. Im working 6 to get wat u get in 5. I know a lot of guys are doing close to $500 a day, but idk if its just the annual raise or im not doing something. Let me know when you can.
@@longterminvestmentsonly4817 I suppose I'd prefer miles simply because I like long stretches of highway to get into an audiobook or podcast. But really as long as the end result is a well paying day, I'm happy with either one
You go to drive4walmart.com to apply. There you will search for a facility in your area that's hiring. Here's a link to my video that explains the process. ua-cam.com/video/uqNdc01vJYA/v-deo.htmlsi=ofRo6qk3Td4a0eGA
@@deltoro5346 No, I work about 60 hours per week, as do nearly all truck drivers. And Walmart pays a lot more than most other carriers. So I fail to see your point.
@getrichwalmart I've worked for private fleet. Every d.c is different , but I had a 5-2 schedule and I had to always max my time to 11-14 hours those 5 days, going back and forth to stores, vendors , and back to D.C
Thank you for the information trucker. Keep her shiny side up!!
Great video
great info. I have a couple of driver friends who retired from Wmart a few years ago.
Thanks. I intend to retire here as well.
Thanks for being Transparent.
Wow seems like a pretty good Job.. Ive been driving for 12yrs, but i never made more than $80k. This sounds like something i would want to get into.
It's totally possible. Check out my other videos to see what it's about. I have more coming too.
Are the new trucks manual or automatic?
All new trucks coming into the fleet are now automatics.
I just scribed to your channel
Thanks!
Does Walmart have Inward facing camaras?
@@mr.ComnandoSpawn no, only forward facing
Also does Walmart hires fresh out of CDL A drivers for school
No, you must have 30 months of full time tractor trailer driving experience in the last 4 years to be eligible.
I don't have my CDL yet, do they hire drivers without any experience?

@@getrichwalmart Interesting! When you say "select" stores, how do I find a store that is willing to do the A2D in Indiana?
Does one haul regional or over the road style ? Does one have to have hazmat endorsement?

Whats your ADP? What terminal you are at? This is my first time seeing your videos.
$477 and I'm based out of Johnstown, NY

Also, do they have inner facing cameras in their trucks?
@@alphadriver104 no, only forward facing cameras. They only come on when triggered by a hard brake, sudden swerve, etc
