Please do more of these videos. I have a close loved one that’s interested in driving for Walmart. Your video helps my anxiety with them leaving for days at a time. It doesn’t look so scary as i pictured.
Just subscribed, good video. I'm planning on doing the associate to driver program maybe next year, still studying a lot of things lol. I'm completely new to trucking, but I watch a lot of videos about backing, pre-trip, etc. I also play american truck simulator because it's the closest thing I can get to real life. Thanks again for making videos, because it really does help out people like me.
Awesome! Keep studying and you'll do excellent. Also make sure your family can handle you being away. Luckily it's only like 4 nights at the most. But other companies it's weeks.
Working for other trucking companies sucks but Walmart is the best trucking job I've ever had! Definitely wish I came here sooner.
I smashed the like button
“Are you not entertained!“ 😄
You should do more of these !
Hey, thanks for watching! I might take your suggestion!
@@ThisTruckingLife Yes sir I work in digital at Walmart currently and I’ve always wanted to see into the truck drivers perspective and if Walmart you to do it a little POV wouldn’t be bad but I’m still interested in how you did it this video
U just put me onto those shoe covers I actually never knew about, I ran a reefer load with my dad at a chicken dc place but the lot where they had the loaded trailers was over muddy my shoes got ruined off rip😭😂
I'm glad I could help ! I once went to a chicken plant and the mud was like greenish yellow I can see how you could easily kill a pair of shoes lol.
Exactly what I’d expect to hear from a GM domiciled driver….going into a stupid grocery DC. Thanks for giving the potential new grocery dc driver a negative impression.
BTW grocery kept you guys busy during the last depression. 2007-2009. Yeah I’ve been hauling groceries that long.
The grocery dc i keep getting pulled to needs alot of help but are not hiring. My dog was dying and I wanted to run by the house. Thanks for the comment.
Great video!
I appreciate the humor and the editing.
I'm currently an owner operator leased to Landstar. Maintenance, repairs, and lack of health insurance is making me question and look into moving over to Walmart.
There was two Landstar guys in my onboarding. You won't regret this I bet. Hit me up at TTLWALMART@GMAIL.COM if you have any questions. Also check out my live video I answer most frequently asked questions.
I was an O/O and got tired of it and got on at Walmart. Been solo about a month now and I'm not looking back. If you can get in I would highly recommend it. Onboarding is intense but after that, you're good to go.
@@kakarot82I’m a former O/O as well. I just applied online for the Walmart driver position out of Spring Valley Illinois. How long is the onboarding process?
@Kevo1993 Onboarding week is four days if all goes well. You may have to go back for Friday. A couple of people got to start over again the next week. I believe that is the "finishing school". You pass, the next week is classroom teaching you things you need to know. After that week, we did a week with the mentor driving and you work the tablet. Hopefully by then you are clear to drive. Then you do one to two weeks with your mentor watching/teaching while you do everything. When you and he are comfortable, you go solo. Most important thing. Seriously. After you pass on boarding, RELAX! You're in
@@kakarot82 thanks for your response. I start Onboarding on March 25th. I’m working my current job till then. But I’ll definitely be ready!
Could you do a video of all the stuff you bring with you at the beginning of your week??
Yes that's a great idea!
Hey brother, really enjoyed the video, been trucking now for 4 years doing dry van, been home every weekend. The pay isn't too bad where i'm at but i've heard really good things about Wal-Mart too. Possibly considering changing within the next year or two. How often are you home in your schedule? You said about every 5 to 6 days?
Yes. Its pretty standard 5 on 2 off. There's many schedules, but it really depends on your dc.
Where can you take Showers at when your on OTR. Pause, if you don't mine me asking?
Really considering working for Walmart now, good content.
Thanks! The Walmart dcs have showers! If they have you away from a dc for more than 24 hours you can get a shower at a truck stop and walmart will pay for it. Email me at TTLWalmart@gmail.com for more info!
How is the pay? What would you rate the job on how frustrating is it?
@@4real775 110k is VERY easy to hit and besides the crap 4wheeler drivers, it's not that frustrating. Maybe a 3 out of 10 on a scale... Drivers are treated great here! Hit me up email TTLWalmart.com
Do you guys get to park in every DC you end the day at? Cause that would be sweeeeet 1.5 yr of experience and Walmart is on my radar if I did something else from my current gig
Yes! Any DC. They also have showers and all that...some have gym equipment too. Also can stay at stores. Not all but most.
@@ThisTruckingLife that’s awesome! I kinda figured. I have a stop at a cross dock for a sams club I go to a lot during my week and always see sleepers hanging out. That’s nice to know you always have a hood spot to sleep for the night
Great video! How much do you spend for weekly food? And tuff is it to park the truck in a gas station to go to the bathroom??
Hard to say. Roughly 60 bucks but depends on several factors. The places I use the bathroom are made for trucks so no issue there.
Thank’s🙌
Great video, by the way do u think I can apply with 27 months on my belt?
Oh so close! All we can do is try! Email me at TTLWalmart@gmail.com
Hey where did you get your walmart hat from. Im oyt of dc 6010 Douglas Georgia
Thank you Gods speed safe travels.
When I passed on boarding they gave me the blue one. My DC sells all different kinds. It goes toward a charity.
Gas city. Used to drive with us xpress out that dc. Went to chicago everyday. Worked every single day. Seems like walmart isnt using other carriers, looks like they are taking care of their drivers. 6 figures is enticing. Was not a fan of delivering to all the walmarts in chicago tho. And trust me there are a lot of walmarts in chicago. Good times...
I've stayed away from the Metro parts of Chicago there's a couple outside that I've been to but luckily they haven't ran me up through there and they are closing Walmarts in those areas like crazy because of the crime
Do you work out of Coldwater Michigan?
I’m going to start from there next month
Nope. Feel free to email me!
What’s up brother, I need about 6 more months until I can apply at Walmart. Should I contact them before then and let them know I’m planning to try and get on?
Congrats on the job buddy much love
It won't hurt! Go to drive4walmart.com and try it! I could reach out to my recruiter and ask for you! Email me at TTLWalmart@gmail.com
How many years do you need to apply?
@@brandonh9016 30 months bro
Do you slip-seat your truck? I start the associate to driver program in February of 2024.
There will be 2 or 3 of us to a truck I think for 5 and 2.
Congrats! Yeah slip seat. I usually have the same truck all week though
How long you have to be an associate for to qualify for that program. I only got a job offer but only pays $14/hr to work at a store. But thinking of doing it just to get my CDL. Wondering how long I have to work to be eligible.
@@J__7777 You have to be in your current position at Walmart for a full year to qualify for the program. You can apply if you are 2 or 3 months away from hitting your year.
You live in Indiana?
Does Walmart really slip seat with sleeper trucks? So you may not have your same assigned to truck all the time?
Yes until you get on a program you will be sleepy the majority of the time you'll have the same truck all week unless you're on a 5253 split which is where Five drivers Share three trucks or something like that but if you get on a five two you'll have your truck but while you're on break like vacation they will sometimes let someone else use it Walmart has really strict cleaning policies and they pay you to clean the truck so there's absolutely no reason you would get into a dirty or stinky truck or anything like that these trucks are very clean the drivers are very clean.
Good morning. I’m from fontana and I want to apply but I went to “drive4Walmart” and only saw postings for yard and city drivers. Is there a way to apply for shuttle drivers if there is no posting
Unfortunately no. And even more unfortunate is that they do not have an alert system so you will have to keep checking back I would do it weekly or bi-weekly! Make sure you tell them you know me when you do and you'll get the phone interview quickly
How far you go on mileage between DCs? Are you regional?
Yes regional. It varies as far as where I'll go sometimes I'll run a load to a different DC like 600 Mi away and work out of there for a couple days and then come back to my DC. Or it could be just running under 150 miles out of the DC and then back all day.
@@ThisTruckingLifeso you get paid hourly or per mile? Was the $434 for 400 miles?
The Freightliners are using too much coolant...where is it going..
Twice it's been a coolant connection on an APU.
Can I apply at any DC or only the ones that are showing on the website?
Good question. They're telling me the website is only place to apply
Why do you have a blue shirt when i've seen others wear white? is it a choice?
Yes. There's also different blues depending on the dc. I wanted white but after careful consideration I decided against it because I'm a grease magnet!
Do you do a lot of nighttime driving?
No. Its not required.
@@ThisTruckingLife Wow, Thats awesome! Keep up the good work my friend and stay safe out there!🙏🏻👍
Why does Walmart require so much experience when you can make the same or more money hauling fuel, or working LTL with less experience required?
Hi! Good question, let's start with equipment. When your average driver tenure is 20 years of experience you tend to have immaculate equipment. No one is out there busting tires on curbs or leaving maintenance issues for the next driver. Walmart drivers have pride in what they do and are treated with respect and like family. Just a few more reasons: we get 25 days vacation/pto in first year which is paid per day as what you actually make per day. Also the benefits are outstanding and usually the top reason why people come over. Lastly the work is easy and as long as you give it your best the company does too. I've done ltl...if you prefer to be in a rush all day go for it. At Walmart I can slow down and be safe and make a great living for my family. I've never done fuel hauling and really don't think delivering to gas stations would be anything less than a stressful day. Alot of it is preferential but walmart is a great fit for me. I started making videos about it because after 7 years of searching, I've found my home! And I can help potential drivers decide if it's right for them before they waste any time. I can honestly say it's the best company I've ever been with.
@ThisTruckingLife That’s awesome you enjoy working at Walmart, and thank you for the detailed answer. Once my kids are grown Walmart will be my first choice. Safe travels!
@johnj8840 No problem! Just keep being a safe driver and hit me up when your ready!
@ThisTruckingLife Will do!
I just applied for the associate to driver program and hopefully I get interviewed and selected. I had my CDL -A and drove for local companies here in FL. Maybe I'll see you out there in the future . Thanks for the video. I was curious what a day would look like as a Wal-Mart driver.
Do you go over 12 hrs daily
We are expected to at least do 10 hours I believe.
Are u touch freight???
No touch.
Let me add that you will have to do some things like raining the dividers (bulkheads) in the refrigerated trailers. This can be rough on you if you do not use the pole hook to help keep you from reaching. The bulkheads are thick padded walls basically.
Do they hire right out trucking school?
No, they typically do not. They are starting a "finishing school" but I believe that is mostly for the associate to driver program. Can't hurt to apply! You never know.
What if I get 2 years experience working for waste management? Will they hire me then?
@@Messenger0049 Careers
A minimum of 30 months experience working in a full-time Class A tractor/trailer driving position in the previous 4 years.
Is $400+ the norm? on any normal day?
Really depends on how you run and the dc. 400 is pretty easy for me to get and I run less than 2500 miles a week
@@ThisTruckingLifeso it's about $1/mile?
@@J__7777 I wouldn't go as far as saying what it is per mile because it ultimately relies on so many different factors including your activities like layover... drops...hooks.., how many miles you ran that day, wait time, Meetings training pay, bonuses, quarterly safety bonus. There's a lot more to Walmart than mileage pay because like you can see you get paid for everything.. If you apply make sure you say you know someone that works there And used me as a referral they'll ask you during the phone call who you know That'll get you up On top of the list Also. you can email me at TTLWalmart@gmail.com for more information
You must be in Indiana. I use to work at the Dollar general in Marion.
Send me a email link or something so I can find out what is need and qualifications
Didn't you just email me?
@@ThisTruckingLife yep yep my bad my bad
Can you get WiFi on your truck?
The truck has some sort of wifi but I'm not sure the driver can use it...I Hotspot from my phone it runs my roku TV lol
@@ThisTruckingLife I ask because I drive and my girl works from home. Was wondering if we could find a way for her to work in the truck with me on the road
@@jaywavy5734 yeah! I have wlamart family mobile ,the unlimited includes Hotspot. You can do anything just like wifi.
@@ThisTruckingLife thanks. I will be applying!
@jaywavy5734 great! The application process can be annoying at times but it's worth it! Let me know if you need any help you can email me at TTLwalmart@gmail.com
Please consider using me a referral!
Was that grocery DC Sterling, IL?
