Walmart

None taken. There is a big difference between the stores and the logistics side. Just talk to a driver. They can tell how it is.

 

In New Orleans last week loading sugar next to one of their trucks I read on the door: WalMart transportation LLC. I would guess they are a seperate company. Good for them for treating their drivers so well.

Edit: spelling

 

Yes that is our company!

 

Walmart has been advertising on Sirius XM Roaddog Trucking channel heavily the past few days. Says they have new requirements and are no longer requiring a set amount of years or miles experience. The ad said they are having a job fair next week in PA. They are doing interviews and road tests there and if you pass those you'll get a conditional job offer that day.

 

Don't believe it rubyeagle - I just got hired and completed my 1st week - all the minimum requirements are still in place - check out drive4walmart.com for all the requirements. The problem is that most guys that get hired by Walmart far exceed those requirements. Talked with one guy who had 12yrs and 1.7 million safe miles and he didn't get a call. The DC he applied to has a lot of senior drivers so everybody above him that did get the call had more experience. I don't know of anybody that has gotten hired meeting the minimum requirements.

 

My husband is in the interview process...do they really make you do sit ups as part of the physical? Any tips for him during this process are greatly appreciated.

 

No sit-ups. Just do a good walk around and driving test. He will love it if he makes it. Where is his interview ?

 

Washington CT

 

It's seems like a good place. I run out of KY.

 

My husband currently runs out of ky for fed ex...thanks for the info...keeping our fingers crossed he gets on with walmart! Any tips on the phone interview or pretrip/road test?
