It sounds like you’re pretty content with your job then. From what I gather from your post, it sounds like you’re saying that Walmart is reasonable with the way it treats its’ drivers; if there’s any reprimands, then they’re deserved.

Do you think all DC’s are like the one you work for? Reason I ask is that the former Walmart driver out of Lewiston, Me. that gave me the skinny regarding Walmart’s practices that I referred to in my previous post is a friend of mine and I don’t think that he would make this stuff up.

As always, it's dependent on location, situation, & how much reach around you are willing to do in managements favor.

Good luck if they don't decide to like you for whatever reason - at least with UPS I have the contract bible to shove in their face when management gets too invasive.

Never worked private fleet, but did pull as dedicated contractor at Olney, Lewiston, Pottsville, & Shelbyville years ago - most WM drivers were very happy with their job.

I never had a problem with management or saw them out of line with any driver interactions - got to wait for loads with several senior WM drivers on the regular & they had a down to earth view of not sucking the company Kool aid while still being appreciative of the job.

One older dude had already retired 30yrs from UPS Chicago & said Walmart was miles better to work for.

YMMV

I’ve been talking to some Walmart drivers that are telling me about how some things are run over there.
Example: You’re constantly being watched… and judged… by cameras everywhere, as at the stores, in the truck, and in fellow drivers trucks. Supposedly, each driver has a special button on their on board camera that they are highly encouraged to turn on and record fellow drivers if they see anything that might not be the ‘Walmart Way’.

Also, there are constant, mandatory meetings that all drivers must continually attend and, the kicker, each meeting begins with the Walmart Cheer… everyone must clap their hands, stomp their feet, and sing the Walmart anthem. God forbid that you are chosen to lead that cheer.

Another issue: when you return back to the DC after a hard day’s run, you may be selected, at random, to perform yet another DOT inspection with a team of selected Walmart stooges; don’t forget that there are 100 lugnuts on the unit or you will then have to attend a ‘remediation class’, accompanied by the Walmart Cheer of course.

Can anybody verify the above to be actual fact? I will admit that my “sources” did seem to be rather disgruntled gentlemen, to say the least.
I’d like to be as prepared as possible for if I do decide to make the move.
