Walmart Increases Driver Wages

ย In order to attract more drivers in the United States, Walmart is promising truckers more predictable schedules and significant salary increases. Specifically, Walmartโ€™s driver wages will increase by $14 million from a combination of a per-mile increase, activity and drop-off pay.

For drivers, this means an average salary of $87,500 and three weeks of vacation time in the first year.

Executive Vice President of Walmartโ€™s Supply Chain, Greg Smith, said, โ€œThis wage increase reflects the importance of our private fleet and our commitment to recruiting and retaining the best drivers in the industry.โ€
