Wal-Mart reviews

Made 117000 first full year including 8 weeks of paternity leave at my full average daily pay. My ADP is $420. Average $2200-$2300 a week pay and 2800-3400 miles a week at my west coast DC. Not sure if that's normal at other DC or not as I keep to myself here. Great equipment, great dispatchers, great fleet maintenance although some shop personnel are not friendly or helpful. Slip seating sucks but my DC requires clean trucks in and out. Any issues are taken care of immediately. Hands-free phone usage allowed but absolutely no texting on drive line or yard move you will be fired if they see it. 65mph governor and you will be in trouble if you go above 75mph. FOREWARD FACING ONLY cameras. Safety is all common sense stuff, 3 points of contact into or out of the truck, and get out and look and walk around before backing. Free clean showers and towels at all DCs.

If you don’t mind living at your base terminal and you live further away than 50 miles. I would not recommend it. Walmart is looking for other Walmart drivers. What I mean by that is it’s a mentality that they are after. They’re looking for the drivers that want a work family and hang out at work. I wasn’t the type. I lasted for a year and some months, but my personal life changed and it really wasn’t feasible anymore. I lived two hours away from the DC, and if something came up at home that I couldn’t get to work because either an appointment ran late, traffic, something with my wife’s health it was just too much to juggle. Also, the staff at most DC’s were great people and some stores as well. Even in full uniform I felt racially profiled, with random employees asking me could they help me with something, but what they were implying is why is a black guy in the back of the store? It felt unnerving and off putting. It was just one store but several stores that were like that. Most stores do not care about Walmart drivers let alone their own job. Walmart is a place you have to put a full commitment in to reap the benefits. Most drivers have been there 10 plus years. Some are beyond neat freaks, especially those with seniority. If your truck is in the shop, guess what you get to sleep in another truck. I didn’t care for that. Typically it was a truck some one with 20 years seniority drove and he was off work that day. So you have to pull your bedding and whatever else you already have situated in your truck to a different truck, then clean that truck and then grab your stuff and put it back in your truck once it’s ready. I also didn’t like that for your medical card renewal you have to go with the place Walmart deems appropriate. Typically, that meant you hung out at the DC when you could just easily go somewhere near your home and get it updated. There are office politics. The money was ok. Some weeks you’d get a big check and others seemed to barely get by. This was a great job 20 years ago, but not in this day and age. In orientation, we were reminded that we are replaceable. There’s plenty of other saps who would gladly take our place.

Two years working at 7030 Pottsville on duty time at store 15 hours only after 50 minutes no more 370 mile at dayl 62 cent's overoll 65 to 75 at years bunch rules end regulations useless 12 14 hours a day work minimum you figure out if Worth dispatch by AI no I will say 3 star

It’s sad that some these reviews are lies. Drivers respect each other here so the slip seating is cool because your truck is clean when you get it. Also pay and home time is top notch. Benefits are good as well. This is definitely a career that if you can get in the smart drivers stay

There is soo much to say.but the biggest one is slip seating if you enjoy cleaning others messes and coming.in to broke down equipment this is for you lol
