Its a very good job,for me it was not so much about the money. I liked the schedule and the way everyone treated me. I cant comment on my seperation because its now going to court but reinstatement is not off the table and its something I would really have to think about.
Actually I have softened my stance on not adding trucks to my current operation and I like the idea of having a job with the fleet as well as my own small fleet. Im a really good boss because I know what matters to the guys. And it is all good because you at the private fleet are some of the best and I hope they can keep it that way.
Walmart here I come!

Desert_Skies, I have 20 years and well over 2 million safe driving miles and have been with the same company for 15 years with several driver of the quarter and driver of the year awards with them and Walmart told me I had the last spot for an interview. Sorry we don't meet your high standards but then again you are awesome so who possibly could?

interpreter Thanks this.

So are you private fleet or not,and what kind of results do you think the new recruitment process will have? Do you think other "awesome" drivers are going to be as quick to make the jump to Walmart? -

You're correct awesome is juvenile that's why I used it to describe your post. Again your attempt at insulting me doesn't work because your background doesn't impress me, I've made a very good income and worked for a quality carrier so save your J.B. Hunt insults for someone they bother. Which too is the most juvenile and over used insults some can come up with. Just not sure why you have to try and put down new recruits to make you feel better about yourself? By the way good luck on your lawsuit.

Coming soon to a DC near you. My DC is doing the first phone interview that I know of, on Monday. And this applicant lives much closer than I do. I think it's just the fact that they need to speed up the process (not lowering any standards) as they still only filled FOUR of the 14 they tried to get with the April posting that I had applied for. I was the first one, the other 3 just started (July for me), so as anyone can see, 6 months later they're still looking for 10 more qualified drivers. I wish mine had been over the phone, would have been less stressful LOL. Less gas too!
What I think some people don't realize is that even if they make the process a little quicker, they're not making it EASIER, and after you're hired, you are still held to the high standards of the Private Fleet, and they'll show you the door real quick if you do anything illegal or unsafe. They use outside carriers to fill the gap, rather than just hire anyone. The reason is liability. If an outside carrier (we refer to them as 'dedicated') has an accident, it's on that company. Walmart driver has an accident? The lawyers salivate, everyone sees dollar signs, and someone gets a huge payday courtesy of Walmart. So that, along with the image and reputation of Walmart Private Fleet, is why you won't see them lower their STANDARDS.drozzer69, grabberblue12 and mruffin Thank this. -
The goals that made me feel better about myself were passed long ago and had nothing to do with driving. I bet if I put my total compensation (Wages and Benefits) for the last twenty years on the table your idea of a very good income might just look a bit pathetic,but wait you have all those awards. Awards really dont pay the bills Chuck,unless you were up above that 100k a year line for most of those twenty years your awards are only a way to make you feel warm and fuzzy and help you forget about your compensation.
Walmart will always hire the best they can attract,key word here is attract. Like I said earlier I know people that will not be leaving their jobs because they do not like the direction Walmart is heading with recruiting as well as general operations.
