That's not just at my DC either it's company wide policy. Imo Sat/Sun weekends are overrated anyways. Can't see the doctor or dentist on Saturday or Sunday and have to burn PTO to go see them during the week if those are your off days. Imo Friday and Saturday is the ideal "weekend". I also talked to a friend of mine I went thru onboarding with in Seymour. He ended up in Coldwater, MI and nothing bad to say, quiet the opposite in fact.BreadMakesMePoop Thanks this. -
I am a new Walmart driver, I've only been with them for 90 days.
So far everything is as good as everyone told me it was before I got hired. Good money, good schedule (out 5, home 2) Very pleasant office staff and drivers, good miles etc.
I've worked for numerous trucking companies and Walmart is honestly the best I've worked for so far. The only negative is the slip seating. However, I have the same truck for my entire workweek (unless it breaks down) so at least I'm not switching trucks daily.
I don't mind the slip seating as much as I used to. I have a system I use as far as what I bring with me each week and how I bring it so that helps.
Nobody bothers me...no dispatcher nagging me, nobody pressuring me to drive longer etc.
The PTO is fantastic.

With Wal-Mart being so Safety Conscious, which I believe they are, I'm surprised in Ca. they allow you guys to speed at 64-65 MPH. Then when it snows on Donner all the Wal-Mart trucks run 45 MPH with chains on in the 30 MPH chain control limit. I would think the landing gear thing or missing a lug nut check is less of a safety issue than the speeding...

All of those are saftey issues but some drivers do what they do. Bye bye saftey bonus if they get a ticket or injury. That saftey bonus is equal to about an extra $1,000+/- per quarter on the paycheck so $4,000 extra a year just for doing the job without screwing up is pretty good motivation for a lot of people.

Consider this. WM health insurance doubled their deductions this year up to $6500 for individual and $13500 for family. They cover only preventable care until you meet your deductions. That means any bloodwork. MRI, CAT, Xray, Ultrasound and ect WM insurance does not cover. You will be paying $400 monthly out of your pocket for yourself and your spouse + 100% any other bills for labs + any follow up visits $75. It's not benefit anymore. It's robbery..
BreadMakesMePoop and drvrtech77 Thank this.
