Starting With Walmart; Johnstown, N.Y.

Here they want it under 30 minutes. Sounds long I know and when I was doing it I was just going into too much detail because I was paranoid I would miss something. They give you 3 days to get it right, so tomorrow is the final assessment. I’m sure I’ll pass I just need to talk a little faster lol.

 

####, they doubled the time since January

 

Lol

 

They showed us how Walmart wants us to it and we could take notes on that, but they don’t hand out a study guide.

 

Some threads say their is no air brake test & others say they are?

 

We had an air brake test....it’s part of the pre trip

 

Orientation is all done. Just waiting to catch a flight back home. Got some tornado/storm warnings so I’m hoping that doesn’t delay my travel plans.

Pretty stressful week. Just wanting to make sure I did my best and pass everything. Very happy to say that I am now a Walmart driver and I’m reporting to my DC on Monday. I’ll be riding with a mentor next week and then I’ll be solo.

Really enjoyed the onboarding process. Met a lot of great drivers, both current Walmart guys and fellow candidates.

If you come into this process willing to learn and grow as a driver you’ll do fine. Also, make sure you can drive a 10 speed. A lot of drivers had been driving automatics and had a tough time shifting.

Not sure how many hours they’re gonna pay for but I haven’t spent any of my own money this week. They feed you very well...plenty of food and they give you $$ for dinner every night.

I would recommend coming to onboarding first before moving to NY. Just in case lol. They give you 90 days after onboarding to move. One guy moved his family to a DC before onboarding and didn’t make it through...pretty devastating for him.

When are you headed out to Arkansas?
