Why Wal*Mart has been good for me.

Bob, forum rules forbid you from providing links. You can say try searching on walmart private fleet.

Now does each DC serve x amount of stores? Does each have it's specialty? In FL, they have three and I do not get the point of that.

does walmart pay their drivers well? how much? how many miles do you average a week?

 

Nevada_Bob,

Excellent post and thank you for the information. Does Walmart publish a list of where each type of DC is located? I live in Viera, FL and see units coming from Brooksville (2hrs away), Fort Pierce (1hr away), Alachua (2hrs away), and SC.

Kinghunter,
There are 6 DC's in Florida.
3 general merchandise DC's, Brooksville, Alachua, and Ft. Pierce
3 grocery DC's, Winter Haven, MacClenny, and Arcadia

Ft. Pierce services stores from Melbourne to Florida City (s. of Miami), and on the west coast Naples north to Sarasota.

Brooksville primarily does Tampa to Orlando and Ocala south to Sarasota

Alachua does Ocala north and on the east coast from Jax to New Smyrna bch.

Arcadia does south stores, Winter Haven, central stores and MacClenny does North stores

 

where can i find a applacation for walmart drivers, i answered all the questions to get a "account" to look for a job with walmart and all i see is non-otr drivers, is there a website other than walmart careers i can use? thanks arick

 

You can go to google and put in www.drive4walmart.com then go about halfway down the page where it says download driver app. They do not take paper apps anymore. Good Luck

 

my estranged father inlaw worked for walmart as a company driver for almost 20yrs in palestine tx i know it is a great driving job like i said he is estranged from my wife the rest of the family now so i was wondering if anyone could tell me how to apply is it online or at the warehouse??

 

Bob how about an update? We are scheduled to build a D.C. here in Merced,CA. this year. Could be a great opportunity for me. I need to get "OTR" miles and experience first. I've had my CDL since 98 but always worked local.
