Hey Walmart Drivers, I need some advice.

I just left XPO Logistics (formerly Con-way Truckload) after 4 years and 500,000+ miles of accident free driving, to come back to MS, tie up some loose ends around my mother's passing (property, etc.), pack up and move to Bastrop, Texas when our house is completed (probably in August).

Since I'll be living in Bastrop, TX, my goal is to get on with Walmart and drive OTR out of the New Braunfels, TX DC. (I know, I'm sure many others have that same goal! )

To this end, I have a couple of questions.

Does it make sense to apply for a Yard Driver or Delivery Driver position if my goal is to drive OTR?

I know that the Yard and Delivery Driver positions are not in the Transportation division, so would getting one of those positions help, hurt, or have no impact on me in getting an OTR position in the future?

Please message me with the answers to the following questions (and/or any other advice you have):

Can I apply in person at the New Braunfels, TX DC, or is everything done online?

The online system only allows one to apply for current, specific openings at a particular DC and there is no provision to submit an application for any "future openings".

So, I'm curious as to whether or not I can go to the DC in person to apply for a future OTR position?

In general, what is the best way to get an OTR position at a specific DC?

Assuming I meet the qualifications, is there anything I can do to increase my chances of getting an OTR Driver position with Walmart?

I know that an OTR Driver job with Walmart is a great job and there are a lot of people who would like to drive there, so anything that would help me get my foot in the door will be GREATLY appreciated!

So, thanks in advance for taking the time to provide any of your valuable advice and/or insights into successfully getting into and through the hiring process and into the seat of a Walmart truck!

 

Keep an eye on drive4walmart.com, that is where the OTR positions are posted. You might think about applying to all dc's within a 250 mile radius or any dc near family. To get my foot in the door I applied and was hired by a California dc. You can transfer to New Braunfels after a year. I just hit my 90 days, and it's great.

 

Yeah, I check the site a couple times a day everyday and I'm doing the applying to all DCs within the 250 mile radius thing.

How long was the hiring process for you? Since you're new and have just gone through the process, what are the steps and timeline for each step, etc.

Thanks a lot for your help!
