Walmart here I come!

Thanks dude i am hoping for the best

 

Thanks Drozzer69 I will keep that in mind I have a ? Do you do the road test pretrip and physical and drug test all in one day

 

If you pass the initial interview they will schedule you to come to the DC in person, usually within a week or so, since they will work around a date you will be available. Pass the pre trip & road test, then you go for a physical and drug screen the same day. They will also have you review and sign a printed copy of your application you filled out online. This will be the only chance to amend anything on your application before you sign it. Then comes the process of verifying the contents of your application, drug screen and DOT physical results and conduct a background check. It may be a few weeks before you hear back from Walmart as they will be working on other drivers who will be in orientation with you.

The waiting may seem nerve wracking, but will be worth it considering the job. Be calm, be honest, and take this process very seriously and the reward will be a job you will want to retire from. Best wishes to you!

 

interview in 23 mins. a guy i know passed his at 9am but hes a former private fleet guy had to leave due to diabetes but got it under control with a pill nervous and confidentat the same time

 

Relax and focus on your interview. If you meet DOT medical qualifications, you will be fine. I speak from experience as someone with several major health problems that are kept under control.

 

Will they fire you if you have diabetes..

 

Passed phone interview. Im more worried bout my bp its more a white coat syndrome

 

All comes down to meeting DOT medical qualifications. I previously had Type II diabetes while here at Walmart. I reversed it with a brief period of medication, then a change of diet. If the medical examiner Walmart sends you to for a physical says you are qualified, then you are qualified, end of story. I do suggest total honesty to anyone getting a physical here. If you have a condition such as diabetes or elevated blood sugar, then state it on your physical. More and more medical examiners are beginning to test driver's blood sugar levels and A1c during the physical. They checked mine when my physical was done back in February. I am glad because it confirmed my blood sugar levels are normal and I am not considered diabetic anymore.

 

Just take nice deep breaths and relax. Your BP will stabilize within a minute. I know how you feel about white coat syndrome. Happens to all of us from time to time.
