Heading to Walmart in Nov...

If I can say one thing don’t watch any pre trip videos they have their own way they want you to do just don’t over think anything and you will be fine

 

you will learn stuff here that you never knew.

 

Nothing wrong with videos as long as they cover nomenclature well. They just want to make sure you at least know the parts of a truck and can tell if something is wrong during inspections. They don't expect you to be a mechanic.

 

That's what they kept telling us. We don't want you to build it. LOL

 

Yeah, backing in that tight spot was the hardest part of orientation. Good experience through the whole thing. Definitely glad I made the switch.
The HR guy from Seymour called me yesterday and I gotta be up there at 8 am on Monday. He even offered to let me come up Sunday night and stay in a hotel since I'm 200 miles away, just so I wouldn't be tired starting out this Monday.
62 people were there and 58 passed. They said 11 would have passed going by the old system.

 

Did you have to back straight shot, or did they allow pull-ups? When did orientation end?

 

congrats. how was them 28 steps

 

You’re allowed I think 3 pull ups. After that I think you’re disqualified.

 

200 miles away. Wow, i wish you the best of luck you might want to get there the night before. Are the gate times still 8 and 6 am only? That did me in when I was there. Was getting up for 2, commmute by 3 for 2 hours then load truck, and get paper work by 5-515. Pre trip out by 6 am. Eventually got sick because of it. Everyone has their limits I guess.

 

i stuck it out and moved up 70 points. i will always owe ex wm drivers that left
