Walmart here I come!

I have been putting off this post for some time until the time was right.

I have been applying to Walmart since October 12'. Most of you who read this know that I have been with Knight for some time now. At that time, I was spotting on the Macy's account and the DM at that time was looking to cut us back to only 4 days a week, 8 hrs a day. I can not get by on that alone. We were also given the option to go out on a truck to do some local work. But why would we want to do that when another spotter who did do this, did not get paid for doing so. Long story short, that DM had since been transferred to Dallas and the current one is much better. I have since stopped spotting and am running local on the account. I made the decision to try and apply for Walmart because I need to better my families life. I am at the point where my family needs more than just living paycheck to paycheck. As I had said in the past Knight is not a great company but not the worst.

My Uncle started for Walmart last year around the time I looked into applying. He along with reading these threads have inspired me to apply. Walmart wants the best, so they will get the best. I got my first call for the first interview last month. I went and passed all three parts. One week and a day later I received my second call. Yesterday, Friday, I received my last call. I will be working for Walmart. They are finishing up with one more driver for his conditional offer and are planning a orientation date. I am figuring by the end of this month.

I have worked hard for a long time for better equipment, better pay, better benefits. I know Knight is not what it was but it was a job that I needed when I moved to Texas. Now things have changed and I need to make a change that will work for me and my family and Walmart is it. A company that will pay drivers what they are worth. Respect. Great equipment. Great benefits.

Well its out in the open now. I am very excited to start soon. Walmart has a very good CSA score. They have maintained a line of excellence for and about their drivers. I can not wait to be a part of it!

Does anyone have a different number than above? When you call that number it does not give an option to speak to a person or Driver Recruiting. Thanks for the help!

No phone numbers, try this number. I called it a few times while I was waiting for a call

I passed all my pre trip/ driving test and physical on Tuesday and I went competitive today! That's quick isn't it?

Do you have a question or are you trying to stir an empty pot?

You can always spot the jealous trolls. They click the first page and quote your very first post looking for a reaction. ( or fail to quote your first post cuz computer forums are so hard to use in 2015.)

How long do postings stay on the website? My DH tried to apply for Pottsville and within minutes of hitting the submit button he got a "standard" rejection stating they are looking at other candidates at this time, blah blah....
Didn't have this happen the last time so we are concerned his application was rejected for some other reason. Any insight??

Just thought I would let everyone know that the application system automatically knows if you are eligible to reapply. If your not it rejects your app. Nice lady from HR returned my call and told us what the exact date was that my husband can reapply. Almost there....just a few more weeks!!!! Congratulations to everyone that was recently hired!!!
