    Just Pass My On Boarding down in Lauren’s, SC advice to all drivers going to on boarding. On the Driving test no speeding, don’t follow close, and do not hit any curbs. On the backing test get out and look do your 360. And on the Pre trip study everyday. Also come in with a great attitude because it’s not just about your driving skills listen and learn there way enjoy and have a good time and don’t stress yourself💪

I do have a backup plan but that shouldn't be a problem because I have been studying the pre-trip that you gave me and actually practicing it on my truck and trailer to get it 100% .

    Rich, thank you so much for making this video ! By far, THE BEST Video I have seen on trucking. Unfortunately for me, I am getting a very late start getting my CDL at 56 years old. I guess I will not be allowed to even apply to Walmart for 3 more years. I plan on getting my CDL in the next 90 days. If your still driving for Walmart when I can qualify to apply with them I would be Happy to use your name as my referral. I'm justvsorry I did not get my CDL a couple of years ago so they would except my job application now. Hopefully for me this Awesome Job opportunity will still be available to me 2 or 3 years from now. I wish you great luck with everything and maybe I will be lucky enough to Drive for Walmart one day in the near future. Please continue to be SAFE out on the road.

But yes, Rich, pretty much what you said...as long as there is no accident nor incident.

Been driving groceries for 8 years and I've gotten used to the fact that there's no holidays or weekends. I don't mind at all as long as I get my days off. I appreciate you giving out all this information. We have a pretty thorough pre-trip inspection procedure , but I'd like to check how it's done at Walmart.

    Another point to make at the 36 minute mark is very simply and sadly is if you don't use it you lose it. Associates are bending down and picking things up all the time. A driver develops a limited range of motion if they don't make a serious effort to avoid it. So it is safer and much better on the numbers for a store associate to do everything at the store they are supposed to do and let the drivers stand there and count.

    They did slip seating long before covid etc. Each location has 50-150 guys in a program. This eliminates 50-100 trucks. If one location needed 50 trucks at 100k per truck. Thats a saving of 5million dollars in trucks alone. Factor in mechanical issues for each truck and the time they would sit on days off as well as where would they park 50+ trucks. They can't find spots for the ones they have. Its just not plausible foe each guy to have thier own truck.

In the locker room you can deposit soiled clothing into a bin and they will wash and return clean apparel to your locker. You may choose to wear your own denim colored jeans and only use the shirt or your choice. Walmart suggest a hiking boot/shoe. Most guys wear a black tennis shoe.

Also there is a rule that applicants must live within 60 miles of the DC they wish to work at. I have heard this can be waived but I'm not 100%

They will have grants that send you to a 4 week driving school for very little to no out of pocket. #3 go to a community college. Indiana has Ivy Tech. Its a longer curriculum than the driver school. But if your super broke you can get grants and student loans. You'll get a better education but takes longer.
