They told you right, don't quit your job. If you don't make the cut at onboarding you can still fall back to your old job and try onboarding again in a few more months. Yeah, they are very flexible after you pass onboarding if you need a week or so to delay orientation so you can get your current job's truck back to their terminal and quit on good terms walmart is cool with that .
viper822004 and ConsciousTrucker Thank this. -
One of the guys who passed told Swift he had a family emergency and needed to be home for a week. They thought he was coming back tomorrow and even had a dispatch ready for him.
The trainers didn't let him know he had passed until 5pm today. It was nerve-wracking AF. If he was gonna make the cut, he needed to know so he could resign asap. But the earliest he could tell them he isn't coming to work tomorrow, or ever, was 5pm today.
You can absolutely make the cut if you put in the work. But it doesn't mean you will. Find a way to get a week off work without quitting first.Stonehjl, viper822004 and Albertaflatbed Thank this. -

On the other hand, my former trainer at another company has 20 years more driving experience than me and would be a shoe-in for Walmart. He didn't have a driver referral though, and after 6 weeks he still hadn't heard back from them. Now he's got his nose out of joint about it and doesn't want to reapply with a referral on his application. For the extra 15 PTO days at twice the rate, plus the $35k a year more he could be making than his current pay, for about the same or slightly less work than he's currently doing, I think it's silly that he won't just reapply with a referral -- but that's his choice.
There's a training center in Garland where everyone in Region 2 is sent for onboarding -- and for any remedial training after an accident or incident, etc. once hired. It's just 4 days of onboarding there. Three of those days are just tests. They had a really great team of facilitators and trainers who were much kinder and more supportive that I'd expected.viper822004 Thanks this. -
I did put in someone for referral but it has been more than two weeks since I applied so I’m not sure what that means. On the website it just says something like application under review.
Will see if I hear back from them this week. I was excited to hear back from them in the first week but now the excitement has gone because I’m thinking maybe the positions were filledConsciousTrucker Thanks this. -
A lot of it will depend on which DC you apply for, and what its needs are. If you apply to one of the stores with the $10k bonus, you'll almost certainly get a call back, as long as your application meets all the required qualifications. If not, then it's a question of how many people applied for that position before you.
Once the job opening is posted, it's a first-come, first-serve basis. Part of making things "fair" in recent years means as long as you are qualified, they call you back based on the order your application was received. They're not choosing a 20 year driver over a 3 year driver, if the 3 year driver got the application in first and there was only one opening. As long as they both meet the minimum qualifications, they have an equal shot based on who applied for the position first.
So keep an eye on those job openings. If you see one that was just posted today or yesterday where you want to work, apply for that one. -
ConsciousTrucker Thanks this.

Hey all I’m scheduled to go to Onboarding on July 22nd at Garland, and I’m just wondering how the driving portion of the test works. How long is the route, tight turns, etc?
