Walmart here I come!

I was told a minimum of 350,000 miles consecutive, no tickets, and no accidents even if not at fault to even be considered.

Congratulations on landing the best job in the trucking industry!

 

I applied to work out of Red Bluff before it even opened,i was turned down because i didnt drive 100,000 miles yearly,i worked for the same company for 9 years and made between 12 to fifteen stops a day,i think Walmart would have been a lot easier job then what i was doing.

 

I am on cloud nine. Especially after reading how long some people have been trying to get in. I have seven years driving. I applied in April of this year... got the call to set up my first interview two weeks ago. Had my interview yesterday. Interview went great. Then came the pre trip and road test. That went great. Then I met with the HR lady. She said they would call me in 6-8 weeks and if my background stuff comes back good (it will) I got the job! Then she discussed compensation which surprised me as it was my understanding that wasn't discussed til the 'second' interview (official job offer)...but all I can say is...WOW...I now know why they smile a lot! It's a no-brainer.

 

I'll tell you what drozzer...I am still pinching myself. From everything I've heard, I shouldn't have had a snowballs chance in...you know where...but my record got me in the door. It was a nerve-wracking experience (isn't it always), cuz I felt there was so much on the line even though I have a great job that I do like. But I want to better myself, my family and my future. Home every day is great...but I couldn't see how I could turn down an opportunity to increase my income THAT MUCH! I have an obligation to my family and choosing time at home over that kind of income would be just plain irresponsible. Mon-Fri is great, especially home every night. But I want my kids to have the best future possible. I won't enjoy being away from home, but it's not about enjoying your job (which I'll enjoy the job!), it's about providing for your family. They are all ok with my choice (kids older now), so for me to pass this up to stay local would be selfish. And congrats to you too...you're a little further along than I am. This still seems surreal to me...
