Company Offering Workers 110K Dollar Salary

This is astonishing!

In an attempt to keep the supply chain moving, retail giant Walmart is now offering new truck drivers an astounding salary in the range of $95,000 to $110,000 for their first year.

According to Fox, Walmart’s senior vice presidents of transportation and supply chain people, Fernando Cortes and Karisa Sprague stated, “Drivers who have been with Walmart longer can earn even more, based on factors like tenure and location.”

Previously new Walmart truck drivers made around $87,500 in their first year.

Walmart currently has around 12,000 truck drivers in their workforce and are still looking for more to hire.

In October, the American Trucking Association estimated that there is a shortage of around 80,000 truckers in America.

“Drivers are in high demand today – a fact exacerbated by COVID,” the ATA explained. “To attract and retain drivers, fleets must increase pay, which is now happening at extraordinary levels.”
