What is it like driving with walmart?

Wow, what an intelligent response. I expected no less.

We live the job every single day. I speak with him multiple times a day, as he is not just my husband, but my best friend. However, what could we possibly know. You know, having that personal hands-on experience and all.

Anyway, if anyone has any real questions, I will try to answer the best that I can. If I don't know the answer, I will ask him when I talk to him the next time.

Oh, to the OP, no you do not have to do lifting, etc. You drive the truck, you drop the trailer, you hook a trailer, or you wait for a live load or unload. You are not a receiving person.

 

Enjoy your ride !!! It is a beautiful country.

I will say this, when you work out of a DC, as a Walmart driver, you only cover a certain region. For my husband, who works out of Buckeye AZ, he works AZ, CA up to Porterville, up to Las Vegas in NV, and Gallup in NM. You are doing more of the delivering to stores, and you do bring mdse from vendors to different DC's. So, it is not like your typical OTR.

 

Dude you were turned down by Wal-Mart that's why your so bitter!You must have applied at a D.C 600 miles away from you and you didn't cut the mustard. They don't force you to work that far from home, Quit giving false information to people who may want to give them a try.

 

Uh no. I turned them down. Try again. Walmart sucks.

 

Rofl. why are we even reading your comments, you don't do the job. You are just married to a driver. Joesph doesn't argue, purely stating his opinion

 

they must make you drive SOME distance. as the speculating keeps rolling on that one driver who's been pretty famous as of late.

 

They do. You don't start at your nearest DC. It's the one that needs the drivers. When I applied and brought in for the interview, and then told I would be domiciled at a DC hundreds of miles from home I turned them down. I wasn't commuting 600 miles to work there.

 

don't blame ya. i hate the 90 mile drive one way every weekend as it is.

really screws up my home time. i deliver in salt lake. park the truck 90 miles away. come back home to salt lake. then pick truck back up. and come back to salt lake to load to start the next week. that's 360 miles of home time driving.

 

Wrong again. You apply to a specific DC and that is the one you interview with, and if you make it through the process, that is where you work.

Sorry, 5 Pinocchio's for you.

Oh, and Shaggy, nice attitude. At least I have first hand information instead of conjecture and rumor.
