I don't go looking for info specific to Walmart, but this is honestly the first post I've read here about them that was negative.

But it is 100% accurate so I felt the cat should be let out the bag so drivers can actually make a sound decision.

Lighten up on the personal insults or your stay here might be a short one, too. Also, all political statements go in the POLITICS section. Thanks.

We have lots of rules too, but I'll do over 130K w 6 weeks vacation and home nearly every night. And the one's I don't make it back I do a hotel and get 45 bucks for dinner.
That's why what that WM driver said sticks true with me.

Terminated for falsifying records on an ELD??? When the truck is stopped and ignition shut off the ELD stays on drive line for 5 minutes until it automatically switches over to on duty not driving. Because I got in the truck after dropping and moved the truck it starts the 5 minute default all over again. So because the ELD programmed to do what it does, I was ultimately terminated for falsifying records because the ignition was off and the truck never came over the drive line. This is what happens at Walmart when your not their favorite driver. They also have created an environment for drivers to compete to be the next certified driver trainer, mentor, or whatever it is that allows a driver to put mor patches on their sleeve’s because it makes them feel more important. So these drivers are the ones who stab you in the back and tell on you for anything petty like cussing and then you get a step 1 for cussing. Step 4 your terminated. I’ve never in 30 years driven with a fleet with so many butt kissing tattle tails in my like. And to stress out about something so puddly is not an environment I played well with. Other negatives, slip seating from day one, work weekends for years till you get enough seniority to get a good day out, no smoking in trucks, micromanaging from hell, get steps for speeding, following too close and phone records pulled from “Egregious offenses” such as going through a red light cause you thought you could make it. Remember, 4 steps your terminated. When you hire on, your not really hired on. They give you a “conditional job offer”. So you quit your current job, show up for the first day of hell week. This week you will be scrutinized by their butt kissing patch wearing drivers who think they’re better than you and are very critical of your skills. You will do their “360 degrees of safety” their way and do backing and inspection skills all week. Bottom line, if they don’t think your a qualified driver candidate to join the team, your sent home without a job. Simple as that. Not to mention you have to travel to one of their few hiring facilities to do this. One in Arizona, one Illinois and one on South Carolina. So think long and hard about gambling to make it on to their fleet, then think even harder if the stress, favoritism, and the micromanaging from hell are even worth it. Moneys not everything. THE ONLY PRO about working here is you make 120,000 to 140,000/year hear with 5 weeks vacation from the beginning which is what sold me from the get go. But remember, there are lots of companies that pay 100,000 to120,000/year out here now with no smoking policy, your own assigned truck, little to no micromanaging, limited cry baby tattletales, weekends off and low stress. I’ve been in the industry for 30 years and seen Walmart let some of the greatest drivers in the industry go for minor things. If Sam Walton was still alive, he’d probably fire everyone who has broken from his culture.

If drama and butt kissing bothers you don’t go to a LTL company next. I never seen anything like it everyone worried about what someone else is doing if there not worried about that there worry about another terminal is getting better bid runs.

That’s it. That’s exactly why I got out of LTL man you nailed it. Backstabbing drivers trying to throw each other under the bus cuz they want their run. About the 3rd meeting we had in a month about how our numbers weren’t good and “we are averaging 2.3 stops an hour we’d like to get that to 2.7” I was sitting there wondering “what the hell am I doing here?”.

Takes around 5 yrs to get either a good start time or a decent 2 days.
Start time more important than days off at this point for me.
