Working for Wal-Mart: A Review

Do you have to go out overnight with a trainer or will they train you on local stores?

 

Not when you're road testing or training. They want you to practice safe procedures and what you do after training is your call.

 

No, that's good business. Those drivers are a workmans comp claim waiting to happen.

 

Drivers who think that won't last here. The standards don't stop after road testing and training is over. They'll coach a 30 year walmart driver for not using 3 points of contact exiting the cab.

 

rollin coal,
I wasn't intending to imply that a driver should just do his thing after training. My bad choice of wording and I apologize. I was a trainer in my days and I was taught and also taught 3 point contact when you enter or exit the cab. I also drove many years in a COE and you had better be using 3 point or it was a long trip down. I thank you for pointing out my error.

 

Falling out of your 79 GMC Astro but your arm is firmly on the handle and the weight of your body yanks your shoulder to shreds as you fall because your hand cannot support the rest of your dangling carcass as you lose footing or miss the step bar

As for Wal Mart, I have a friend driving for them in Central Florida. He's been with them about 7 years. He's happy
