When I came to Walmart, I had a choice to pick my start day. The offering was a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday start. 2 years later, I got on a 6/3 (six on 3 off). I did that for a year. Then somehow I scored a M-F shift after a realignment offering. I do like this shift although if my DC offers a 5/2-5/3 in their next realignment, I’ll be putting my name down for that choice. I really appreciate that Walmart Transportation gives us a chance to pick a different work schedule if we want. New drivers here at Walmart, bide your time. I did, you can do the same thing.

Yes definitely worth waiting around for a few years to get settled into exactly where you want to be. Also it was the same for me when I came here I was able to choose my start date and my first load of the week but a lot has changed since then.

I really appreciate the info. I start onboarding on Monday in Delaware. Im an old head like you, almost 30 years experience... and still excited about a new trucking job. Lol

@20plustrucking

Ай бұрын

All I can do as far as that goes is be a referral for you. If you use me as a referral your application will be before all the other ones that don't have a referral. That should get you a call back faster. Having all the experience with a good record will be very helpful but they put a huge emphasis on the onboarding process. Doing the skills test they want you to do generally is the make or break part of the process for most people. The trick is just do exactly what they want you to do no matter what and you'll be fine. They actually train you how they want you to do it in that week. I've seen a bunch of people that had like 30 to 40 years of a perfect record not get hired and they totally don't understand why. Let me know how it all turns out and if you have any other questions email me at don@20plustrucking.com . Good luck!

Some DCs simply do not have 6/2 or 6/3.. it's really hard to change your schedule once you picked up one. I've been asking to switch from 5/2 5/3 to 5/2 5/2 many times and they only been offering me night shifts. And it's really hard to get approval for extention. They hired so many drivers recently.. all packed. I'm in North east region..

@20plustrucking

5 ай бұрын

You know it's tough if you don't have seniority And they don't offer a lot of different schedules. So I'm wondering are you a new driver? All the DCs are different so it really depends on where you work. In Red Bluff California we have a good selection of schedules. I've talked to drivers in Washington Oregon Utah Nevada and Arizona and I haven't heard anybody complain about their choice of schedules so I guess we got a good out here.

Hello brother God bless you. I like your content. (KZread) I have some questions for you: I currently work at a Walmart in Hoover-Alabama, I have all my documents and papers in Rules but I am HISPANIC. I want to know if Walmart's internal training program for new truckers is active here (in ALABAMA). I HAVE BEEN DRIVING 18 AND 22 WHEEL HEAVY DAILY TRUCKS IN MY COUNTRY FOR MANY YEARS I want to enroll in Walmart's internal training program because I do not have a CLASS A CDL. Do you know: WHERE, WHEN AND HOW I can start the training. I work the night shift. From 10 at night to 7 in the morning stocking merchandise on the shelves in the hallways. I am afraid to ask my direct supervisor and my store manager for this information because I fear that instead of helping me. Maybe they just discourage me. And just advise me to forget about that idea. I fear that they are worried about running out of staff, among other things. I am a father with three beautiful daughters and I am truly passionate about being a truck driver. I hope you can understand me and help me with the information. God bless your projects and your channel.

@@josevelasquez5831 I wish I knew another way you could apply for this but as far as I know that's the only way to apply for the program. Even if there was another way your direct supervisor would know about it. It would be extremely risky for them to give you a hard time about applying for that program. Basically if they try to discourage you or not help you they could get fired. I totally understand where you're coming from I also have three daughters and a wife. The thing is you're going to just have to take a leap of faith and ask your direct supervisor about it. I think it would be worth it to try and sign up for it because there is no deal this good in the industry right now. Essentially you are skipping two and a half years of low pay and hard work. Basically you're getting one of the best jobs in the industry right out the gate. Keep me up to date and let me know how it turns out. You can always email me at don@20plustrucking.com

Yes there is slip seating but not everyone has to slip seat. Many drivers have their own truck and the closest they'll get to slip seating is their truck might get loaned out on their days off. Nobody used my truck for the last 5 years until a couple of months ago I got a partner with the truck I'm in now. He drives it on my days off. A lot of this has to do with what DC you work out of and the availability of trucks.
