    A lot of companies train employees to drive truck. Good way to become a driver.

    Isn't that what a lot of LTL companies are doing with their dock-to-driver programs? I don't see how different it would be with Walmart.

    So you are saying the average retail worker can’t be trained to drive a truck?

    i can hardly believe you said that!

    Well.......It was a risk I was willing to take from my observations when I stop at their stores.. I know I went out on a limb by saying that.. but I chanced it anyhow

    For the Walmart and their strict policies that 80 year old is just right)

    PS: there are more workers than 80 year olds in the company. Guys pulling carts from the lot from my guesstimate would be interested.

    I would consider applying for Walmart but I can't stand the idea of wearing a uniform.

    Jumping from 40 to 100k a year would not be a big issue with uniform, I think for most.
