Wouldn't consider that a negative. Shows your not just another steering wheel holder.

 

That is not a negative at all. There are many many X tanker drivers with Walmart. My husband is one of them. 7 years at his X company before coming here. The hardest part about coming from a tank is remember the different sight lines of the 53' trailer (or lack thereof).As a matter of fact, he had only hauled 53' trailers for a 4 month period, once in his life.

 

Thank you. I was speaking with another driver about that, as he had asked if I thought I would have a problem with it. Nope, that front axle on the trailer is your steer axle; using that and your projected tracking will get you where you want - and of coarse good judgment and skill play a part with that knowledge. Speed us not essential, but precision is needful.
I have heard that driver benefits are different from store employees; can anyone name a few specifics? I am particularly interested in 401k and stock purchase. My wife works for Wal-Mart - fifteen years now, so I'm familiar with the standard. I have a son in management in another state that works for Wal-Mart.
This forum seems a bit different then most I have visited. This is the first time I have ever signed up if you will, and participated. Thanks for your insight. Take care.

 

Your lucky! I didn't hear anything till 4 months to the day I put in my application! It's a process if you think it's going to a quick hire you have another thing coming. You must be patient and relax. I'm still going through the process.

 

As a greeter or cart retriever?

 

After everything they went through with that whole NJ turnpike accident I guess I can't really blame them. Every news report made sure to say it was a Walmart truck. Good to know that some companies are still picky about which drivers they hire.

 

The pickiness was there long before the Tracy Morgan accident.

No-doubt, the 401K matches up to 6%. You get a 15% discount on stock purchases. After 1 yr, 1week vacation and after 2 yrs, 2 weeks at full ADP. Safety bonus quarterly, and paid safety day also (at ADP). Plus they feed you a lot. They are always looking for reasons to feed you. Raise every year until after your 3rd year, then you go longer. However, there have been company wide raises every year since Rick has been here, also.

I don't know what else you want to know, but feel free to ask.

 

Hope all is well with everyone. Happy to inform that I have received a start date of September 21st out of the Tobbyhanna, Pennsylvania DC. Hope to see everyone down the road. Be good, stay safe. Seacrest out!!!!

 

Did you get the job?
