Wal Mart

I doubt it will effect pay at other companies. Good drivers that want to work for Walmart already do. This is just Walmart lowering their standards again. Because people dont wanna work for them.

I worked at a Walmart before getting my cdl. From what ive read they wanna take DC/store employees. And train them to drive, thats fine but they can't find people to work in the DC's. They were often forcing overtime just to run the places.

 

I don't know if I necessarily agree with the fact that Walmart is lowering standards to attract drivers. You have to pluck workers from other job sectors to bolster yours. Besides, if a new driver can command 95k, I'd say they lowered their standards appropriately.

 

I have zero interest in slip seating into a truck every week and I like being off on Sundays.

 

Just an fyi…they don’t pay for pre/post trip or fueling. They pay for arriving to a store, drop and hook, multiple stops, breakdowns, meetings, training. Might have missed a couple things but if they pay for fueling and pre trip they owe me back pay lol. Former driver who realized making lots of money can’t compare to doing something that makes you happy so I left.

 

Did you log pre/post trip and fueling?
I worked for a company that paid all that. I missed out on some pay before another driver told me I had to log it to get paid for it.

 

It's probably not a bad gig, overall....but slip-seating does suck.

I have no problems with rules and regs.... but..rules and regs have problems with me

 

I talked to them a few years ago, but the slip seating killed it for me.
