Former Employee - Jul 22, 2026

Retired after 30years used to be a great place to work . You are a robot now to them with 70 hours a week all fake they do not care about you everything is protend. Horrible working conditions mainly do to watching every move you make what you say how you act you constantly have to defend yourself over some accusations.

Pros

Can't think of any stay away

Cons

Everything is high stress

Solid Company compared to OTR, but there are plenty of options out there. Take into consideration caveats like Slip-Seating, No Pet Policy, Strict Dress Code and Micromanagement. If you can deal with these then you should have a decent experience.

Pros

PTO is Fantastic, Good Equipment, Job Security

Cons

Panopticism, Slip-Seating, Strict Dress Code (Uniforms), Long Hours

As a 22 yr. driver at Walmart, for the elite transportation company in the industry. As with any transport company, longevity plays a role in the oppurtunities available to drivers. Only wish I'd have went there 10 yrs earlier.

Pros

Outstanding pay

Cons

Would love to have an exception run.

Ok, so what to say about Walmart. Sam Walton is gone, so the pride and joy of his company is also gone. Corporate has taken over and it seems like they are cutting more money away from the transportation. You have to do your own research, because Walmart drivers are offered a $5k referral bonus (Which they just cut down to $2000) if you use their driver number when you apply and you get hired. So if a Walmart driver says "Use my driver number on your application and it will go to the top of the pile".. guess what, its a lie, they will tell you anything because they just want the bonus. Walmart is, i even want to say more than doubling down on slip seating, putting more programs like "7 guys sharing 5 trucks" "5/2-5/3 having 3 guys share 2 trucks" and "6/2 schedules with 4 guys sharing 3 trucks" in order to cut down the fleet costs of having enough trucks for everybody. As I said, DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH, Walmart works out great for some people, it doesn't for others. The one thing I will say finishing up this review, is that if you think this is the same Walmart Transportation that was around when Sam Walton was alive, you are GRAVELY mistaken. They have cut costs at the expense of the drivers, they have added TONS of backhauls where vendors can be 3-4 hours for a live load, reducing trucks out of the fleet at most DC's forcing more slip seating and they are now getting more smaller Neighborhood market stores while still sending the 53 sleeper trucks in. PTO is great, anytime you need time off, you just ask if the days available (Require 24hr notice), if it is they will put in a calendar event and get you back to the DC to make it home. Also for for the future, they have a great schedule 5/5, 5 days on, 5 days off so you don't have to work 80 hours a week until youre 65.. they even have part time 1 week a month and keep your benefits schedule... of course you need seniority for those schedules to bid on.

Pros

PTO Home time Uniforms so you don't have to do laundry Brain dead easy work

Cons
