How much of the 120 days had passed before this driver even went and took the hazmat test and background check?
Just a few years ago when I was hired you had to already have the hazmat endorsement before being hired. I can understand the grace period because the delay that can often occur waiting for the government to complete the background check. It should be mandatory that any newly hired drivers at least pass the hazmat test and have initiated the background check before coming to orientation. Just my opinion.
Walmart here I come!

He called Bentonville, they said they have a zero tolerance policy on new hires. They come without an endorsement, they sign on in good faith they will be endorsed within 120. He's not a renewal, he's a 1st timer, and a new hire. Add stupid as it sounds, once he gets it in the mail, he can apply immediately. If he had it already and was working for Wal-Mart, he just couldn't work until he received it. I think what brought this to Bentonville's attention was that about 2 weeks ago he was rear ended at 5am while sitting at a red traffic light. He had been told by our safety guy that he couldn't work past his 120 days until he got his endorsement, that was a week ago, then today Bentonville called and said he was terminated. There just is no common sense to this thinking, but I'll be the 1st to tell him, it was his responsibility to get this done. It's a tough lesson to learn, but might work out better as he was looking to transfer anyways after a year, and now he wouldn't have to.

I got a question for everyone WM home office called me last Wednesday and told me there was a error on my license. I guess when I turned in my new medical card dmv put me to interstate only and not 48 states. so I already got that fixed. so I called the person at WM that called me the other day and told him everything is taking care of . does anyone know how long it would take to run my license check again to verify everything is good. ?
