A Walmart truck driver delivers trailers full of goods to the retail locations on their route. The driver does not physically load or unload the goods, they just drive them from point a to point b (and point c). Walmart OTR drivers are generally home once per week. And Walmart also offers some interesting benefits like pay during military service and short-term and long-term disability.
Driving for Walmart can entail operating a semi-truck in very congested locations, so safety is a top priority to them. Requirements for a Walmart driving job include minimal moving violations and no serious traffic violations.
