Does anyone here know if Walmart trucking hires part time?
If you do run 5 days on and 2 days off, is there a minimum amount of miles (or hours) you're expected to run each day? I've always been a local, hourly paid driver and never had to worry about watching mileage or hours.Last edited: Apr 8, 2022

That's a bridge too far!!!truckdriver31 and Coover Thank this. -
But to answer your questions:
Walmart does not officially have "part time" drivers. They do have things like the 5/5 program where you work 5 and are off 5, but a new driver is unlikely to get on such a program, at least at not at any of the DCs in our region.
As for hours, you're expected to effectively utilize your DOT hours. You have to manage your time. And if you have 2 or more hours left on your DOT clock, you're likely to get another load.Last edited: Apr 8, 2022

My first day of onboarding only 8 out of 64 drivers did not fail the backing test. They told everyone else they had a few days to practice and they could retake it lol…smhThe Gryphon and truckdriver31 Thank this. -

You're expected to be productive...as in, when you make money, WM makes money. Is that any different than ANY other trucking company in America? But here is the thing, you set your ETD and WM will rarely, RARELY ever question that. If you get to a DC and you've got 2 hours left on your clock, no one is going to question you if you set your ETD for the morning...and take some time to relax, grab a shower and some food, and put your feet up. I'm sure most DC's have a minimum goal for mileage or productivity...my DC does...and you can meet that goal in about 8 hours of work.
OH LORD HE SAID THEY EXPECT YOU TO WORK 8 HOURS DEAR BABY JESUS!!!
As stated above..I'm here to work. I've got no problem working 13-14 hour days. But no one is forcing me to work those hours.billthetrucker, T.Rucker, Coover and 1 other person Thank this. -
That being said, thanks for the info.
P.S. Not sure what you meant by, "OH LORD HE SAID THEY EXPECT YOU TO WORK 8 HOURS DEAR BABY JESUS!!!". Are you having a conversation with yourself or was that directed at me? If the latter, you know ZERO about me to be making a comment like that. Are you mentally ill?drvrtech77 and truckdriver31 Thank this. -
Robin Williams, truckdriver31 and LtlAnonymous Thank this.
