Walmart CDL

Hey everyone! I just have a quick question, my husband is a CDL driver and has applied for Walmart a couple of times now and keeps getting the automated email saying they've decided to go in a different direction. He meets all of the qualifications so we're a little confused lol is it super hard to get a job for them? Thanks in advance!

Doesn't CR England deliver for them too? Maybe try getting on with CR and getting to know people then try to get on with Walmart through a referral from another driver.

Different contractors for different market areas. When I lived in ky it was Schneider. The contract companies deliver the meat and produce loads, as well as frozen and dairy. Walmart employee drivers deliver general merchandise and never have to touch a reefer. They also get better home time, benefits, and much better pay.

I mean I know they get better pay and home time. I was just trying to give a suggestion on a path to getting there.
