Onboarding was intense but fed us very well hotel was awesome I did mine down in spring valley Illinois. I’m out of the st James dc pre trip everyone stresses about wich they are picky about it but if u do one consistently you will be golden. Plus T-W they show u there expectations then on Thursday is actual test day. It was stressful but wasn’t too bad. I just finished with my mentor so I’m on my own now and freaking love best decision I ever made!

1st time seeing your vid and I was just typing a message stating that you have to be a daytime Radio jock with that voice. Until you mentioned being a DJ I said man this guys voice is golden and must be on the radio. Any way as a FDX trailer driver myself I must say your vids are very helpful & informative. I honestly thought of possibly applying to Walmart but been here for 33 years, 2.5 years as a trailer driver but I love it & honestly can't let go of the 6 weeks' vacation and being home daily. Who knows maybe 1 day but for now keep up the good work & vids

Hey Rich, just watched one of your videos. My name is Chris and I'm a Walmart driver here in Kansas. Will you please double check your information on using PTO to help boost your ADP. I was taught from a very reliable source that making yourself whole with pto WILL NOT help your ADP. The only way PTO helps boost your ADP is using a half day or full day. I would appreciate it if you could investigate this and let me and everyone else know. By the way, you make great videos! Thanks!

@christopherwhitlock6151 sure hers how it works. If you come in on Monday and you make 200 because it's a short day. (Clock hits midnight) then you work Tues-thursday and make an avg of 500 a day. Friday is a half day and go home and you make 300. You made 2000 for the week. If this is what you do for the 13 pay weeks (Walmart calculates adp 26 weeks divided by 10 or something like that that gives you your 400 adp 2000÷ 5 consistently would be 400. Now if for 4 weeks you make yourself whole on the begining and end of each week your getting 400 Monday 500 Tues through Thursday and 400 Friday you now have 2300 for the week instead of 2000. It won't raise it 100s hundreds but the more pto you have saved the more you can boost it. Also if you can extend or work harder these weeks you boost the pay that goes into the equation. I have done this and raised my adp 30$ in a short time. It's not a lot but every dollar counts because those high weeks stay in the avg over the 13 pay weeks Walmart uses to calculate adp.

I drove out of 6054 . Best advice i can give is go drive a freight truck better money and benefits . The golden days are gone from wally world when the old man passed. I want even shop there. There on there way down. Remember k mart was big and then no more. Wallys on the down hill run.

I dont know any of what you said to be true. Kmart was nearly bankrupt. I never been treated better or made more money than I'm making right now. Including steel mills and teamsters jobs. No way you're getting better pay, benefits, etc driving frieght or owner op. Tons of owner ops are getting out because the money and stress dont add up. Things may have changed a bit but they are nowhere near on the way down and no where near Kmart!
Why is Walmart so possessive of their pretrip docs? You would think that Walmart would welcome it if a driver candidate wanted to take the initiative and study/practice the pretrip prior to onboboarding. It would likely result in a smoother onboarding for the candidate and the trainers.

I have always said the same thing. Drivers get mad I do these videos. I always say 2 things. 1. I'm glad drivers are asking. It shows they take it serious and desire to learn. 2. I can tell drivers how to pass but unless they can "perform" the task, it doesn't help much.
Making your day whole "up to ADP" by back filling with a few hours of pto does not get calculated in the ADP calculation. If you finish out 5 days making 2300 dollars and your ADP is $500 and you back fill your last day $200 to get your earnings up to 2500 your adp will go down.
@WalmartRich
10 ай бұрын
It's based on how they calculate adp on a 5 day schedule. If you average 6 paid days a week and they only calculate it on a 5 day.. that extra day raises your adp. I have done it, and I was taught how to do it by my gtm. I raised my adp by $50 a day using my method.

I’m enjoying working for Walmart. It’s a very professional and friendly work environment. There is no micromanagement from what I can tell. You work at your pace. There is no dispatchers, no frantic sales team booking loads they can’t deliver. Respect goes along way here. This is by far the best trucking experience I’ve had in 7 years. Every DC I’ve been to has been courteous and helpful even the stores. Walmart really respects and loves their drivers. I’ve noticed respect from customers as well while in uniform. Driving for Walmart is not another trucking job. ST. James is hiring. I’m based out of there but I run groceries out of Moberly at night I’m really enjoying it.

Fundamental flaw about WM. OTR drivers sharing trucks. That’s as weird as having 2 left feet
@WalmartRich
Жыл бұрын
Many companies slip seat. Unlike places where you drive then , drop a truck and hit in another every day. Here, 3 guys use 2 trucks. It makes it easier than true slip seating because you can share microwaves or cleaning products, or whatever might need to be left in a truck for the next guy. It makes perfect sense when you realize a DC of 250 drivers can get by with 120-150 trucks. Take the avg cost of a truck times 100. Then take that number times everybDC in the US. It's a major savings. It makes perfect sense. I'm glad you found a job you like. 🤔

Hey Rich, does it matter how many DC's we apply for? I'm in Indy so I have quite a few within 250 miles of me. I applied last year and was offered a job within a week but, had to decline at the time. I've since reapplied and it's been crickets for a month.

No. You can apply to as many as you want. But, when the recruiter calls be sure to ask them about all locations and try and get the one you want EVEN IF ITS NOT LISTED. You never know what might be available and not posted.

Everyone is the sane cpm. Cpm is only half your pay getting paid for stops, drops, live loads & unloads, layovers etc make up the other half for many drivers. I'll check but I believe new drivers start at .595 cpm

I have a few questions I am going to email you
If you use PTO to adjust you ADP (make yourself whole). Your ADP will only reflect the actual miles and activity for the day. The Adjust ADP will not be calculated in your ADP. Using PTO like that is will not boost your AFP. Check your facts before sharing this information. Trust me, I know what I'm telling you here.
@WalmartRich

Maybe you misunderstood. You make your adp for that one day. They rest of the days should be above. If you raise your last day it will in fact raise your adp higher than if you leave the last day 150 under adp.

There's a lot of different jobs that pay a lot of different amounts. But they all come with different things. Sometimes being home every night means you have to travel an hour to each direction and you only get 567 hours of home time and that doesn't make sense for some people who live too far away. I'm glad you found a great job that you like
