Walmart here I come!

Hey everyone, hope ya'lls new year is starting off groovy!.... I'm starting orientation 1/11/16 at Opelousas, LA. DC and was wondering if anyone else on this thread was going to be there also..if so, give me a yell !...... This has got to be the most nervous move i've done in all my years driving but very excited at the same time!..... This thread that drozzer started has played a very big part in my final decision of leaving my current job hauling fuel for the same company for 13 1/2 years and i thank everyone that has contributed to it. I wish everyone, current and future wally drivers all the best of luck for this new year!

 

Good luck man, from a fellow fuel hauler

 

Thanks bro, Stay safe out there..... Takes a special breed to do what we do thats for sure!

 

Update: Talked to my previous employer. They confirmed to walmart that it was preventable incident not accident. So...according to Recruiter I'm pass that issue now my current employer won't send anything back.. lol

Hopefully they get something back this week. We shall see

 

Good luck to you, hope it works out!..... I know my company wasn't standing on there head to rush any info over either but they finally came through.

 

Whew!! Been reading this thread for several days now. Lots of info So I've got a PT/Drive test out of Porterville, CA. on Jan. 29th. Nervous I guess it boils down to the PT/Drive test...Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

 

Just do your pre trip like you do every day. A few points to remember is to check 5th wheel clearance,seat belt, permits,brake system and don't shift over any R/R cross.
It's no different than any other job interview so keep calm.

 

Remember to g.o.a.l... they are watching you .

 

Thanks a bunch Matt, yeah I knew it was 14 an hour for orientation and riding with the mentor was regular pay.... Was just trying to get a ball park figure on what the first week may be, going 2 and a half weeks without a check is going to be a little rough. Thx again!
