I'm a driver with 15 years of service. I transport hazardous chemicals otr. I've been successful at my job and well compensated for the services I provide. But before I began hauling chemicals I was rejected by Walmart on 3 separate occasions for seemingly very minor infractions which most recently include my trailer rim making light contact with the lower portion of a garbage dumpster. Apparently Walmart sees this as serious enough to disqualify one for employment at their fine establishment. I am entrusted with the safe transport of very dangerous chemicals on a daily basis but not worthy of driving for Walmart. I find that to be amazing.

You're fortunate; Walmart didn't hire you,
Well, that's my opinion anyway. I've never applied to work there and won't.
Too many "mickey-mouse" rules.shogun, stillwurkin, drvrtech77 and 2 others Thank this. -
I don't always agree with Chinatown, today I do .you are lucky that Wal-Mart didn't hire you
Chinatown Thanks this. -
I am entrusted with very expensive cargoes and very important delivery customers without which the American People cannot function in daily living. As such I am not hireable or qualified to run a big truck.
You can stack words to that effect however high, beautiful and BS in a way, if a private employer chooses not to hire you for prevntable damage versus a stack of applications from newbie virgins without any kind of accidents so be it.
This was written with a grain of truth and a grain of teasing, sarcasm. As Professionals etc we have no value. Whatever it is you have done in life has no value outside the last three years, 7 years accounting for your time in trucking to prove experience or past lawbreaking and accidents.
I have applied to and been denied employment for reasons even more BS than what you citied for taillights in walmart. In fact. Current Walmart Policy has just recently stopped checking ALL tractor trailers by pretrips in Shops and now YOU the driver is PERSONALLY and FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE for tickets incurred to vehicle defects not caught and fixed in pretrips you failed to do.
As a temp working as a crew boss in Adesa of Little Rock, Ive always taken the cautions position that the failures of equipment, personnel and other implemented policies designed to avert same is not my responsibility or problem. =)
So you can argue that employer is protecting you for yourself. -
laaylor Thanks this.

I don’t think they’re quite as fussy these days.

It used to be well worth the Pain to put up with Walmart’s Mickey Mouse rules for what there was to gain.
Now not so much...
In retrospect they did you a bid favor. -
Sam Walton would be rolling over in his grave to see what has happened to this company...

I read it four times . I can't figure out where the hypocritical part is?
MartinFromBC, MilkyJay, laaylor and 2 others Thank this.
