Do you guys think this is something I could do?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Full Version:<\/p>\n<p>So, a bit of background. I have been employed by Walmart for a little over 10 years now. Recently, the opportunity to take part in Walmarts Associate to Driver program has come knocking at my door. I have heard nothing but good things about driving for Walmart, and so far, every driver I&#8217;ve spoken to has said if I have the chance to get in, take it, as apparently its extremely hard to get into Walmart from the outside.<\/p>\n<p>I was kinda hoping maybe I would run into someone who has driven\/still drives for Walmart. <b>My question is simple. Would truck driving be for me if I only want to work around 9-11 hours a day? This includes time spent at docks.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>(And a bonus question for those who have driven for Walmart recently) Will Walmart give me any flak for only wanting to do 11-12 hours maximum per day?<\/p>\n<p>I have no issue being away from home. I live alone. I have no family within the state. No kids, no significant other, no pets. Nothing. My biggest fear is that I am going to get into it, and its going to be nothing but 12-14 hour workdays with the only other time being spent sleeping. I know that if this turns out to be how it is, I&#8217;ll end up hating the lifestyle.<\/p>\n<p>For those who ask &#8220;What would you do in the truck if you aren&#8217;t driving?&#8221; I would spend time talking with friends. Probably playing games on the side.<\/p>\n<p>I appreciate anyone who takes the time to answer.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>\n\t!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n\t\tn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\n\t\tn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n\t\tt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,\n\t\tdocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n\tfbq('dataProcessingOptions', []);\n\tfbq('init', '1812746315680142'); \/\/ Insert your pixel ID here.\n\t\t\t\tfbq('track', 'PageView');\n\t\t<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruckersreport.com\/truckingindustryforum\/threads\/i-have-an-opportunity-to-drive-for-walmart-but-i-am-unsure-if-trucking-would-be-for-me.2511463\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TL; DRI want to become a truck driver for Walmart, but only want to work a maximum of 10-12 (Realistically 9-10) hours a day.
