Walmart here I come!

wal~mart here I come!!!..... ran across this forum. very helpful. I started the process back in may, got call in June to ask for a phone interview in July which I passed, then had a date for the road test August 11. Was very nervous for the pre trip.... didn't know what to expect...just did one.... I guess I forgot to ask about the triangles...woops.... but that is about it..... road test went great!!... Sunday drive with a friend. Now just waiting for my hazmat from the TSA...yeah.... been driving local all over Florida for like 10 years.. done otr b4 this for a couple of years. Now from what I have read on here "we" (man that is awesome) have showers in the d.c. but what about washers and dryers? Well I figured this would be a good ice breaker.... just wanted to put it out there if you were thinking on coming over to wal~mart might be a goooooood idea.... from what I have seen so far.... I cant wait to get rolling!

 

No washers and dryers. But showers, for Walmart drivers ONLY...yes. Also most DC's have some snacks and maybe (like Tobyhanna) frozen pizza, hot pockets, dinners etc, to benefit the CMN. I just love the fact that I'll never go hungry, as not only do I stock my 12v cooler, but we are never far from a...Walmart! LOL. Food supply. Other benefits are most DC's have a fueler...he fuels your truck, check under the hood, tires, wash your windows and mirrors...you kinda get a little spoiled. Sounds like welcome aboard.

 

And what do you need washer and dryer for our clothes are washed and pressed you have arrived my friend welcome aboard look at the view and enjoy the ride

 

Wear a crash helmet during orientation...they throw a LOT of stuff at you and it hurts LOL.

 

Congratulations and welcome !!!

You have only seen a glimpse of what this job has to offer. The culture here is unlike anything you have experienced. Enjoy it !!! As others have said, you have arrived !!!

 

Guy's, a quick question - any idea on how long between the pre-trip/driving test and the CBC and previous employers parts take? I'm in that limbo stage where I've taken and passed the pre-trip/driving test, went and passed the physical/drug screen and now just waiting for the official word. Quick side note - after we got back from the road test, the safety manager asked if I "knew" any Walmart drivers, said it was one the best pre-trips he had ever seen. I couldn't let him know that I had been reading this post and getting advice from some of the best quys out there. I don't know if its been said enough, but there is NO WAY I could have gotten through this process without all the great Walmart private fleet drivers that have contributed to this post. If I do get on -fingers crossed - I would owe each of you steak dinners!!!

 

Like my steak well done although brisket sounds good lol

 

You got it Taipan - your choice!!!

 

Ribeye please. Medium rare and seasoned.
