Appreciate all of the info - thank you! It sounds similar to when I started driving at Schneider years ago. Same thing there; pay attention and do things EXACTLY like they show you. I have a call scheduled with a recruiter for this coming Monday morning. Wish me luck!
@@DirkTrucks best of luck to you! Don't sweat it too much, you got it
@@getrichwalmart Thanks! I sure hope so. I was on the Walmart dedicated account with Schneider pulling out of the Sterling, IL grocery DC, so I have an advantage there, I would say. I’ve delivered to every Walmart and Sam’s in IL (including city of Chicago), southern WI, and eastern IA. It was my favorite trucking job but the Schneider pay was terrible. Fingers crossed.
I enjoy driving for Walmart Love it
Great video
Thanks! Going to orientation in Delaware July 15th!
Awesome, congratulations!
I’m at dc #6023 currently a yard driver… I see them come through the yard.. very disciplined drivers… I’ve only had my cdl a year.. I think once I get a year in the dc on the yard.. think I’m goin to give it a shot… thanks for the info..
Damn , 5 days , another 3 more days of orientation and 2 weeks of mentorship. U have to really mentally prepare for that . Thats almost like starting trucking at the beginning again. I mean i get it but this job has to really be worth it money wise to go through all that cause that is alot man. Cant say it's hard but i think more drivers deter from there because of the process and how strict they can be . I might be wrong
I wouldn't doubt you're right. It's a lot, but worth it. I think of it as the playoffs before making it to the super bowl. Gotta be in it to win it
Agree. Im kind of nervous as I haven't been through anything like the onboarding since the 90s. Have either run for myself or for a company that ran ag exempt. ( Not so strict)😂
It isn't too much to sweat over, really. If you can drive and back a truck, you're 2/3 of the way already. Getting the pre trip down is probably the hardest part
Can you post the Pre-trip in PDF file to start learning !!
@@Sam-ny1ng yes I plan to do something like that, as well as a video on it.
I applied and never got called there....
Mr. Rich, I had a question about the 30 months experience requirement. I have been employed by Schneider for 29 months, but because they didn't have enough trainers it pushed out my training time so I have been driving solo for about 28 months. When Walmart reviews my application would they be able to tell the difference? Or should I just wait a little longer so I have 30 months solo driving, even though I have been employed as a driver for longer than 30 months?
@@deebly_goncerned I think they're pretty strict about the 30 months of actual DRIVING experience. That's how it's worded on the application. To avoid having your application rejected, I suggest you wait the two more months.
@@getrichwalmart Figured as much, I've waited this long won't hurt to wait a little longer. I've also heard it's almost impossible to get hired on as a new driver in Florida. From the guys I've talked to you have to get your foot in the door at another DC and wait for an opening to transfer.
@@deebly_goncerned yeah Florida is tough. All these old white-haired Walmart drivers want to transfer down there. Apply as soon as you can and hope...
Sounds like Walmart is really big on the pre trip
They are at onboarding. It's like the playoffs before making it into the big show. Show your stuff. It's still important today, but it's really emphasized at onboarding.
Does Walmart offer home daily trucking job, Class a driver?
Yes there are many scheduling options at each DC, and some of them are home daily positions.
How long does it usually take from filling out the application to when they call you for onboarding?
It's hard to say. It really depends on things like how many drivers a DC needs, how many applicants there are, how you stand out among the other applicants, and other things. In my case, they called me back the morning after I sent in the application. Other cases may take days or weeks. I wish I had a better answer, but it's just kind of a waiting game.
@@getrichwalmart I did receive emails the next day saying they were going to do my background checks. Thank you for the reply. Stay safe and have a great day
You can earn more being a contractor and owning your own truck i made over 400k last year per truck
Yet here you are, trolling a Walmart onboarding video. Ok.
That’s what you made mot take home. I grossed 126K last year and my buddy that owns his own truck not just another rent a wreck driver said do way better than him by far after all his expenses and no 38 days of vacation but he answers to no one .
Expenses under 100k and that's with normal repairs and maintenance plus any set Expenses like permits and ins.
@@getrichwalmart LOL 😂, Didn’t Onboarding use to be for Airplanes? My Policy was, if I drive for Walmart, I only will do the Center-Points or NO DEAL! That’s the only way you’re gonna make the money they say you’re gonna make. Anyone that thinks they’re going to make $80 or $90K a year as a Walmart driver it’s never gonna happen, all your gonna do is make money for the Corporate A$$holes you work for, by the time you figure it all out 😂, it’s too late, when you quit or get fired you’ll believe it was you that did something wrong. Bottom line is a Professional Experienced Driver doesn’t need to be COACHED on how to drive a truck, Just throw me the keys and say HAVE A SAFE TRIP DRIVER, CALL ME WHEN YOU GET THERE!!! But all these UA-cam truck videos are SICKENING. BECAUSE THEY NEVER TELL YOU THE GOD BLAM TRUTH.
@@Solitaryman70I made 123k last year driving regional. That's a fact. If you hate Walmart so much, why are you here? You sound jealous.
Mister Walmart Driver CDT is short for can’t drive truck sorry there’s a reason why a lot of the newest. Way younger Les experience. Drivers try to act like the Walmart police. All these policies did not exist before you all got it easy . When I got hired get call show up do pre trip with safety manager pass or no pass if you pass then your able to go on driving test if you pass that then you get to have interview via laptop and camera with the terminal manager and two people from corporate . If you pass that you’re in under probation. When I hired on in 2012 I was told 13xx applicants 100 + interviews 5 hires. I applied for ten years straight before I got my chance and passed and in. Anyway I view a lot of CDT OF Drivers that don’t want to drive and milk ADP Again sorry that’s how most of us with longevity feel. On the other hand I feel for the baby sitting and patients I don’t have. BTH way I was informed that I hit 1mil 500 thousand safe miles at Walmart. Probably got 4 million safe miles in my 28 years of driving. Ya it’s long but I get annoyed easily.
Congratulations on them safe mile that not ez these days.
You can be annoyed, that's fine. But it doesn't change anything. It isn't 2012 anymore. The "good ol days" are irrelevant. What's important is the way it is NOW. Grumbling about the way it used to be is a waste of time.
