Walmart here I come!

I've read alot of this thread and the process seemed to have gone quicker for me. Applied on may 13th

 

Do you already have orientation date?

 

Not yet. Hopefully soon though I was second to last person to interview

 

Do you know if they wait to get a group together before notifying anyone?

 

Idk. What DC u going through?

 

They told me there would be multiple dates for orientation though

 

Are you going to toby the 13?

 

No I'll be in Pottsville, Danielle In HR told me there is only three of us.

 

I just wanted to give an update on my experience thus far at Walmart. I started orientation 5/18 and so far my journey has been remarkably great. I'm a Saturday 8am out. Well should I say I was a Saturday 8 am out. I signed up for the 5-2 5-3 and I thought no way was I going to get it seeing as how I just started. There were four people in my orientation class, but only one before me according to alphabetical order. It was confirmed today that I have the 5-2 5-3 program. I'm elated!! So far I've been out three weeks by myself since going out the first week with the Mentor. She is on a 4/4 program and she had never trained but she did a great job. I'm the third woman at our DC. The first and second week I had to slip between two tractors. The third week was the first week that I had the tractor the whole week and I could see a difference in how far I was pushed out compared to shorter runs in the Chicago land area. So know learning that I'm in a program I couldn't be any more happy. The people are great. The drivers are all so helpful. The experience is so different from any driving job I've had. The environment is totally positive and I'm loving it. I was really nervous to leave my last employer (Jb hunt) because we as humans fear the unknown. And although it's still very early in the game I feel that I've made one of the best decisions of my life by taking this job. My DC (6092) have a lot of drivers retiring. We have an excellent staff from the gtm, to the driver coordinators, to the shop!! Who would have thought you could get on a program in just a little over a month. WOW!
