Position Summary...
What you'll do...
Associates go through 12 weeks of instruction during which they earn their Commercial Driver’s License (CDL-A) and then gain real-world behind the wheel experience with Walmart Certified Driver Trainers (CDTs). Once they successfully pass their final tests, they graduate and are offered a Walmart Private Fleet Driver position.
After graduation, new drivers are assigned to their Transportation Offices (TO). Think of these as the base of operations for a driver. From here, they’re onboarded, then assigned a mentor to show them everything they need to know about their new TO and continue their training.
Once their mentorship is completed, our new drivers are ready for the world as members of one of the greatest teams in transportation.
The Walmart Private Fleet is a special team to join. Our drivers are deeply dedicated to safety and professionalism, and we’ve been making investments to make sure Walmart remains one of the best companies in the world to drive for.
