Walmart here I come!

BackIsSore · Feb 19, 2017

How much chirping does onguard have to do before it informs safety? Usually after a chirp or two I'm backing off pretty quick. I just drive like a slug in traffic, only time I really have any issues is when I need to merge and no one will let me.

Just passed the phone interview for mount crawford, va. Now waiting for a call to setup roadtest. Was told it could be quick because they're trying to get the road tests done by the end of the year. Anybody on here out of mount crawford?

I got tattoos older than that! Lol. I started driving my dad's 2 stick Mack in 85. I've also been real lucky in the accident category, no accidents, or tickets, but a few I don't know how I didn't trade paint with a spinning 4 wheeler.

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!

To my knowledge on guard doesn't let safety know anything based on chirps. I'm pretty sure I would have heard something by now. Critical events it does for sure
