Walmart DC in Apple Valley California
Does anyone know if this Walmart DC take drivers early? I have a 5pm appt, and I'm wondering if they can take me early. I'm assuming they're so busy, that you need to get there on your schedule time.

Wal-Mart only allows 1 hour early arrival.

No jumping line at Walmarts with their confirmation number setup. Like anj said arrive 60 minutes early. Leave yourself at least a 30 minute cushion. You are not checked in until you're docked, walk in the office and get waited on which could include up to six drivers in front of you.
One time I arrived and they told me my confirmation number was no good? Would they work me in? Nope! I had to get another confirmation number for the next day. My CSR messed up! Walmart is like the gov't and if they don't follow procedures exactly they get lost.

All Wal-Mart DC's are rigid in the time frame. If you arrive more than 1hr early for your appointment they will send you away. On the plus note it does seem to make things go a little smoother.

I once got the Walmart DC in DeSoto, TX to unload me several hours early. One thing I learned working at Walmart for 7 years, unless it violates the law, the rules are flexible depending on whose in charge, how busy they are and how nice you are.
