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.

Target stores when I ran for their operation, since we were running for target, they gave us directions and how to get in and out of stores which was great. A big chest sheet, does Walmart provide any of that since you usually only go to Walmarts I’m assuming? This has honestly been a reason why i have held off from applying. I’ve got trapped in complacency since I have dedicated routes and stores but no room for growth, Thanks!

That's a great question. Every DC has a file cabinet full of maps to each and every store they service. The maps bring you to the exact entrance needed for easy access. They even distinguish between the best entry for a grocery dock or GM dock. Additionally, the GPS in our trucks is programmed specifically to bring us to the exact entrance also.

Wanted to drive trucks so I quit to get my Cdl and 4 years later they are hiring my old co workers and paying for their Cdl while I’m sitting outside trying to drive for Walmart with plenty of experience and all they tell me is that they’re not hiring at the moment lol
Yeah that new Associates To Driver program threw everyone for a loop.
how many hours you work that day?(GREAT VIDEO ANYWAY)
This day was around 13 hours. I usually average about 12 hrs a day, or 60 hrs a week.
Good morning Rich, I’m looking to come to Walmart because I’m looking to get more consistent home time. Now my question is, say I get the 5/2 schedule will I get a full 2 days off? Or is just for a 34hr reset? Thanks for your time.
It's a full two days off. For example, if your "go-home" day is Friday, they make sure you get home on Friday, and you won't be expected back until Monday. They don't play that game where "oops we can't get you home till Saturday"
@@getrichwalmart awesome that’s great news. Was looking at the closest DC to me and Johnstown seems to be the closest to CT. About 150 miles out. PA is farther out. Anyway I’ll put you down as a referral. Thanks again
@@Pokerhead1776 thank you, I'm glad to help. You have a really good chance of getting on at Johnstown, and we service all the CT stores
Also, I don't know how close you are to Norwich, but we have a program where you start and end your week at the Norwich store. You just park your personal vehicle there and hop in the big truck, which stays there when you go home at the end of your week. I'm pretty sure it's Norwich, but it may be one of the other stores down there.
@@getrichwalmart that would be awesome better than driving to upstate every week. Thanks for that I’ll be sure to ask about it.
Thanks! Going to orientation in Delaware July 15th!
Awesome, congratulations!
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
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.
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 KZread 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.
Nice. Great information. God bless you, sir.
Do all DCs have showers?
Yes they do. I just did a video on this, actually. kzread.info/dash/bejne/l4SWxM-fodi-hM4.htmlsi=xmJkc9KYFqezQy_N
So one of my anxieties has always been going to new stores or places and not knowing how exactly to get in them. Target stores when I ran for their operation, since we were running for target, they gave us directions and how to get in and out of stores which was great. A big chest sheet, does Walmart provide any of that since you usually only go to Walmarts I’m assuming? This has honestly been a reason why i have held off from applying. I’ve got trapped in complacency since I have dedicated routes and stores but no room for growth, Thanks!
That's a great question. Every DC has a file cabinet full of maps to each and every store they service. The maps bring you to the exact entrance needed for easy access. They even distinguish between the best entry for a grocery dock or GM dock. Additionally, the GPS in our trucks is programmed specifically to bring us to the exact entrance also. I'm going to include this topic in one of my next videos. Thanks for the question.
@@getrichwalmart awesome, I’ve just stumbled onto your channel and have been enjoying it and the information you have given is appreciated! I run locally for Lowe’s and have seen huge Walmart dc and fcs built right on our exit in shippensburg. Thanks again!
Hello sir how are you
I an well, thank you.
I enjoy driving for Walmart Love it
Good morning, I just wanted to let you know that I used you as a referral to apply to Walmart. Thank you for the informational videos! They’ve been very helpful!
Thank you so much, I definitely appreciate it. I wish you nothing but luck and good vibes on this. Please keep me updated on your progress. I love success stories! Feel free to email me with any questions also. Good luck!
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..
What’s up man, I’m coming up on my 30 months required to apply at Walmart. Any tips on the application/hiring process? Much love brother
The biggest tip would be to be extra careful now to keep that license and safety record clean. You're almost there. Next I would say to pay special attention to every question on the application, and answer it carefully and honestly. They screen applicants very closely. Check out my video explaining the application/onboarding/orientation process. kzread.info/dash/bejne/q6ChxK-slangn8o.htmlsi=Or-Zs-VZD-BoGkHS And don't forget to put me down as a referral on your application. That'll place your application above others that are without referrals, and I'll get a bonus too when you're hired. Win/win. Good luck!
For the 5-2 schedule is it a full two days off or just a 34 hour reset?
Full 2 days off
You get 2 full days off. For ANY schedule, it's always full days off.
I just scribed to your channel
Thanks!
Also does Walmart hires fresh out of CDL A drivers for school
No, you must have 30 months of full time tractor trailer driving experience in the last 4 years to be eligible.
Does Walmart have local driving
Yes. All DCs have multiple schedule and route options, including local driver positions.
Thank you 🙏 for sharing
Ive been applying since March and no response. Got the background check back after 3 months. No luck. Any advice?
I don't know. Maybe the DC you applied to just has better candidates at the moment. Don't lose hope, though. Keep trying. Try calling this number for candidate support. Maybe they can give you a clue. You may just simply be on a waiting list.
1-888-596-2365 - Option 5 Monday - Saturday 8AM-5PM CT
@@getrichwalmart thanks
Not sure if you’ve been asked this but what is the Rider Policy at Walmart?
Riders are allowed with prior approval and a signed waiver releasing Walmart of liability in case of injury. Typical stuff. It's not a problem.
@@getrichwalmart Is there an age limit for children? Thank you in advance!
Nice video!
Good morning rich, I have a question for, I live in North Jersey do you happen to know which Walmart distribution center would be the closest to me and are they hiring? Thank you in advance.
The closest DC to you is in Tobyhanna, PA and they are hiring.
Sharing trucks is a deal breaker
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.
Whats your ADP? What terminal you are at? This is my first time seeing your videos.
$477 and I'm based out of Johnstown, NY
@@getrichwalmart how long it took you to get to $477 and what did you do to up it? Im new to Walmart, i get about $410 a day. I mean you are at .62 plus .69 on weekends i know that plays a part, but im asking because im doing 6 days with the extension and i was told the bonuses dont apply to the workweeks to get a higher ADP. But im in texas. Im probably going to hit about 118k my first year, but i started mid February. But we got that .02 raise in February too and that helped. So how did you get it up for only working 5 days. Im working 6 to get wat u get in 5. I know a lot of guys are doing close to $500 a day, but idk if its just the annual raise or im not doing something. Let me know when you can.
You prefer activity or miles? Im starting to think i like miles on the weekend and activity during business days.
@@longterminvestmentsonly4817 I suppose I'd prefer miles simply because I like long stretches of highway to get into an audiobook or podcast. But really as long as the end result is a well paying day, I'm happy with either one
Do you guys get paid every week?
Every 2 weeks
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
Very informative and honest. Mick London
